completed a new map based on Operation Typhoon that has a full-blown summer and winter version. (still working on the fall version of the map - where I'll be adding more mud, marshlands, and timbered roads). this is where creating 'universal' biomes where I can mix and match completely different types of terrain really paid off. I created the summer version first... and then simply repainted over all of the original terrain with new terrain. the only downside to this type of scenario is that the troops will still be wearing all of their summer clothes! but, for a historical scenario like "Operation Typhoon" this is, arguably, the perfect solution!
Very impressive! Map-making is a skill you seem to have down pat.
Operation Taifun was a pain in the arse in Unity of Command. Let's see how you spice things up.
I guess I should have added that this is a 1152x1152 map currently rigged for 8 vs 8. historical generals will be added based roughly on actual areas of operation.
right now players can use anything on it. so it's only 'good' for random skirmish mode right now. after I test it a couple of times I'll see if it is stable enough for an SP campaign. after which time I will probably add in restrictions that prevent army generals from deploying airfields and paratroopers. air force generals will also be prevented from deploying much of anything else.
1152x1152 is the largest map I've ever been able to successfully finish playing through. any larger than that and the game crashes in less than an hour.
maybe ever 45 minutes players will be sent a message "look! Guderian is ignoring orders and doing what he wants... again!" ;-)
