map making fun

[nikivdd]

I tried out the scenario editor to make a couple of north africa maps. I haven't placed any units yet because i will add some more italian/british eqp to the efile when v1.10 goes live.











I don't consider myself an experienced map maker but i really had a jolly good time

One thing I've done to ease the transition from green hexes to sand is put a green terrain background down and then a sand overlay. It makes the transition less stark, even though there are green/sand edge terrain backgrounds as you've used. I also edit the default roads that are used due to the stark butting of the dark on green/sand roads. I tend to use all sand roads even when on green terrain.

HI nikivdd

I checked and these map tiles are not final so best not to publish these screens anywhere yet

Cheers

Could you post an example? Thanks

Thanks for the info Iain. I wonder what will be added still if the map tiles are not final

sure ...I was just posting it anyway
I hope the transition roads will be finished properly in the final as they look a lot better and less odd when terrain changes...(2nd screeny)

Thanks Chris, that is very helpful
