You damn teese![:'(]

Here I am still learning all the intricate in's and out's of the map editor and the texture making abilities.

This is what I call my softer map. The textures are much softer and I've tried to get them to be more easily recognizable from one to the next.

Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate that holiday!

Good Hunting.

Looking good. I am getting more anxious as the days pass. I like these textures that you just used, they show up better.
Now the 15 cent question, ... when will we get to play with this update?

It's always been 4Qtr 2010. Matrix still has a month before that deadline is up.

Here is my last version of the Maus map showing where the Maus' final resting place is off to the left.

You can see the differences in the terrain textures much more easily with this level of texturing I'm using now.

In a Test game against another tester, I had a Panther A moving up to get postion for flank shots on a couple of T34-85s. At least until his air support arrived.

You can almost see what's left of my Panther in the fireball.

Wow! There's no place to hide on that map.

Any air support is going to be hard hitting there.

Good Hunting.

Are there any changes to how air support will be handled, effectiveness, ect.? I always found air support to be one of the weaker aspects of CM, it would be nice to get a good system that compliments the game.

An after Chrismas release,... maybe for my birthday. How thoughtful guys. Thanks.

Air support is still handled by the the AI. You don't get to pick target or time. there have been some improvements in the way targets are selected, but there is also chance for friendly fire. For myself, I dont rely on Air support, and don't choose it over other support.

Thanks

The airsupport is modeled fairly close to the CM model at the moment. With several exceptions.

1) The actual aircraft come onto the battlefield and attack. Not just a shadow.

2) They will not attack units that they have no LOS to. They won't attack units in forest or buildings that they couldn't possibly see.

3) They attack friendly units much less often.

That sounds better, I always hated the woods attacks.

Just a quick rant while I'm waiting... more winter shots please...

Being a CM gamer since CMBO and having lots of the Mad Russian's scenario's, I am dying to get this game[:D]

I thought you guys said there was no grass for the landscape?...that looks like grass to me.  It looks good.

Stridor has a green thumb. He grew all that grass from one random seed.[:D]
