Anyone made an alternative to the height maps used in the game? When zoomed in it looks like poppadoms currently. [8\|]

I think the edges of the hill hexes should be more pronounced. Like for the maps made for Flashpoint Campaigns (it was a mod): [image]https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/31564/2CB9EC84409C4CFB93058DF6B239AF2E.jpg[/image]

i played for several hours and didn't realize there were elevations in the game. I cannot discern any difference in heights from looking at the map, so this is just one more aspect of the game that I have to ignore because it poorly done. Gets old.

That looks easier on the eye, more natural, not sure about defining the hex edges like that though.

Such a height map would be great..

The snow map looks particularly good.

It's actually his (William's?)'paper' map, not snow. Beautiful though, yes.

Note to map makers and modders... THE SUNSHINE COMES FROM THE SOUTH WHEN EXPERIENCED BY THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE! (...For decades now and no one has said anything.) ............. Further... There is a line between realism -- "AMBIANCE" -- and tactical necessity. No officer would use a map that sacrificed simple necessity for realism. ............. [Where is the main tiller/wds site forum? Give that stuff a piece of my mind too.]

If one is making height maps, one should color-code "centric rings". E.g sea level (0m) is dark green, then 25m is lighter, etc, till yellows and browns for hills and mtns.

RE sunshine... Shadows are thick in width; light strikes are thin. ...Like rocket science. (...It's what plants crave.)
