Small map making question.

Post by TA 3D »

Here's something to think about. We all love the Lush World maps from CC, but since they look like trash! when converted to spring, I propose we make new maps. They idea comes from the fact that the Yangtze river valley, resembles the TA Lush world(probaly where they got the idea from) in almost every detail. There are pictures out there that will make you think that the Lush World really exits. When in fact it does(at least in China). So could someone please make a map of an area on the river?

Heres some pics:

Its difficult to do swamp and lush terrain without proper features.

It would be great if we could put a level of fog that only hugs the ground, with units sticking out of it. Sort of like the fog in dagobah.

A swamp map would be so cool! Now all we need is a prone feture for K-bots, whitch, if you logicaly think about it, is compleatly usless but cool none the less.

Unforitinly I don't have any hight maps, because I don't know were to get them. I sure there are some people out there that know some sources. If anyone is willing to tell me where you can get this kind of stuff.

I believe a sumo going prone is called "falling over". ;)

A number of mods have infantry units that go prone, though.

Not every unit has to go prone the same way. Maby with a sumo, the legs slide out and the body sinks down between them, makeing it shoter and have better armour. Only problem is it cant move.
