@MakeeLearn - please consider using the network layers included with the 'layers.zip'.
these files ('4_TheNetworks_multiply.tif' and '5_TheNetowrks_normal.tif') should help to easily mask the effects applied to the vanilla map. good work - please continue!!

Ive got the network layer sliced into the individual bmps. Just dropping the rails looks good, but the roads being black also makes it difficult to differentiate. The yellow and grey looks best and ive been doing some by hand. Will post some previews.

Its a fight between playing or modding



I've been following this and it looks very good so far. I say stay with the dark roads as they look better.
A player can always use the hot key if necessary.

Good work.

I gotta say you did a great job on that map. Now this want me to come back and play again.

Any chance you could do an extended map version?



Sure. Iam unclear on the differences. Is it actually more map, or just different off map sites?



Any News on the extended map version? I have created a crude "do-it-yourself" version since I play DBB - but I ain't no artist...

Status: offline 		Hi,

It seems that the Luzon and the Shortlands modifications of the extended map are already included in your map.

You would need to modify a coastal hex on the West coast of Malaya, the off-map bases of Aden and Abadan and the "North" i.e. western part of India with the additional bases like Quetta and Peshawar.

For my mod I have just made a rough and shody copy&paste job for the Aden and Abadan bases, good enough for me. I have not included the aforementioned additional bases in India as I don't see any need for them and I have put the base slots to other uses.

Looking forward to see your polished version of the extended map!

Posting pics washes out the color some. In game the colors are richer, warmer.

Do you have an ETA for an extended map version?

And does v3 contain the map modification request ?

In my impatience I have made a do-it-yourself version for v2, but I'm sure you will do better.

Most players that have been playing AE for years play their games on the extended map, so I'm waiting here too. <tabs fingers on computer desk>

Looks good,

Version 3 is just stock map for now.
Iam laying the ground work for the extend map now. It will go fast as I will be making changes to the existing map. not building a entire new one.
I will show the changes made and get opinions.

Yes you can. A small change has been made to some rail north of Spokane, added more highlight, the wrong panel was added to the zip.
