Nice work 22sec! [&o]

Very nice! Man the possibilities of this game are endless.

This is amazing and excellent work. If you have time in the future, please let me know about details.

Nice work golden hand.
tell me the basics for map making? [&o]

Great work!

how make elevation file?
How to make preview?

I’ve had a little experience making maps in AB, and I would like to put together an “AAR” of the process.

If someone gives me a good guide, I promise to map maps of Normandy and the Ardennes.

give us some feedback about map making and its necessary software?

Map making takes time. The data that is necessary is readily available, but putting it all together for the game to use in a manner which looks good in-game and works with the game’s mechanics take time. Also, putting some map making tips together takes time, and there is just never enough time in the day - I’m trying.

As far as tools go, the in-game map editor has been a great addition. However, you need to put pieces together before getting to that point. You’ll need a program such as GIMP or Photoshop, and you will also need a program if you’re working with digital data. I prefer Global Mapper, but I think QGIS would work as well.

You’ve got to make sure the data you are working with is projected at 30m per pixel.

Same here...I'd love to start working on some map ideas but I really need some kind of first steps guide...I will pick up from there

Progress continues....

This is beautiful, level of detail is amazing!

Alpha version is ready. The road network is complete, and the entire NW quarter is completed.
