AvA terrain makers wanted...

[soda72]

Looking for 'experienced' terrain makers that would like to create terrains to be used in the AvA.  Send me a PM if you are interested.

Historical only?  If so, haven't all the theaters already been covered?

[soda72]

Historical only?

Either historical or non-historical is acceptable for AvA use.  AvAsml is a good example of a non-historical terrain we have used from time to time.

If so, haven't all the theaters already been covered?

There's always room for more....

Cool

No. There are many areas that have not been covered.

Cool

If you have a certain terrain you would like to do let me know.  We are looking for new terrains that are mission editor friendly where bishops and knights are used as the axis vs allies setup and have fields layouts that are reasonably close to find fights to accommodate a small community.

The Kursk salient on the eastern front, summer 1943?

That would be a good one...

Maybe I should fire up Malta again? If I did, should I include part of the African coastline or just Malta and Sicily?

That would be up to you, the Africa costline does add additional timeline possibilities for setups.  The only guidelines we have is that the terrain is mission editor friendly, and has fields layouts that are reasonably close to find fights to accommodate a small community.  Also if you use custom fields, or objects keep frame rates in mind.  Custom objects like one eyed aliens or skins like Barbie pink spitfires should not be used.

I might work on it over the summer to kill some spare time. However Blender is being a pain and will probably discourage me, again.

Aww.....I'd rather see those than a B-29.

I remember in H2H there being a Pearl Harbor map.  I wonder how many ships an editor could place in dry dock    add new cities and strat (possibly Training Facility or Ammo Factory) nearby for added flak difficulty 

I would love to try it out, if anyone could mentor me     


Yeah, I know you asked for experienced mapmakers ..... but tossing my newspaper hat in there.

Rpearl, made by Raptor. It was an incredible map, until AH updated.

I'll be glad to assist you in getting started! However as far as being politically correct in making terrains, can't help ya there.
