Request for the maps

Post by Mgellis »


Just an idea, but I would love to see the world's largest lakes included in the Command map, too. (I requested this some time ago, but did not know if any progress had been made.)

https://www.lakehouselifestyle.com/imag ... alo-vo.jpg <-- provides a good, if very basic bathymetric map for the Great Lakes.

http://www.nrri.umn.edu/lsgis/bathy.htm <-- another one for Lake Superior

http://www.perspicax.com/pdf/tanga-max-poll-maxi.jpg <--- here is one for Lake Tanganika

http://wldb.ilec.or.jp/data/databook_ht ... r05-01.gif <-- very basic map for Lake Victoria

http://wldb.ilec.or.jp/data/databook_da ... r13-01.gif <-- very basic map for Lake Malawi

Ideally, it would be nice to have some of the biggest rivers, too. The Mekong, for example...U.S. patrol boats vs. armed sampans, etc.

Anyway, it's just a thought.

+1... Actually I had always seen the Great Lakes on the Command map, and assumed they were playable because of that, just never had done a scenario in that region. I just noticed their elevations show, rather than their depths.

The rivers like Mekong, I had noticed before, along the same line as canals (Suez, Panama, etc. )

I think that probably some of those are really difficult to model though considering that their width may be too narrow to really "zoom into"... once you get to where you can zoom into a river, then really you may as well do highways as well, which are about the same width, and bridges (primary targets for airstrikes).. which is actually a COOL idea, but I think that very quickly the cpu power required would jump exponentially.
