mandreads -> custom maps in pbem battles? (3/21/2003 4:28:23 PM)

Hi!

I am getting tired of generated battle maps. They have good variance and make a challenging situations but the basic layout is always like... it is like... you know what I mean.. like pointless or something, themeless.

And I hate generated jungle maps, because they are just that, jungle all the way, no fields of fire beyond one hex. No roads at all, no buildings.

What are good maps to use in pbem battles? Where can I find maps? Is it difficult to modify generated maps (I mean, like add something to the map, or change vhex type)?

Have you ever considered this? ;)

Otherwise there’s a lot of good old posts dealing with the subject of mapmaking. Wild Bill did a very good “how to” series on the question. This is the first topic in the series…

Or just go to the “The hall of fame”, find the bottom of the page and change “Show topics for the last 30 days” to “show from beginning”. There you should be able to find all of the topics.

And if you still have any specific questions, feel welcome to bring them up. :)

Good luck
/Lars
