Campaign Map!

[caius britannicus]

Ooo, now that's compelling!

Tell me, does it still show the graphic of a ship going between the two ports, even if there is no dotted line?

It should the ship is a different model and texture.

[Naja]

You don't remember the file model's name, do you?

[Meneldil]

Was the map made with Time or with notepad and photoshop ?

The baltic sea

Quick update on the map progress, all factions are in and playable. The new regions in india need to be redone slightly, along with the terrain.

Awesome work Lionskin , thanks a lot , take a look in the private forum for the list of factions , I slight changed some things , but we need to talk about them more I think ....

[Antiochius]

wow , a fantastic map. wondeful.

[Naja]

It is possible to make the trade lines invisible. There is a texture in the model folder at least thats where I think it is. I haven't looked for quite some time. The texure is just a dot with an alpha channel. YOu can edit the alpha channel so it alphas out the texture entirely and hence removes the lines on the trade routes!

This was very helpful, but unfortunately my Photoshop keeps crashing on me before I can even find the file; let alone open it.

If it wouldn't be too much to ask, would you help me find and alpha channel that elusive texture file?

Thanks very much.

Thanks, what I wanted to achieve when I chose this inclination is to get rid of endless of deserts and steppes while gaining some more important parts of Africa like Meroitic lands and of course India , without exagerating the dimensions of the map overall ..... not everyone understood it tough ....

Jungles ....
After the suggestion on using palms as jungles here is the result thanks to Lionskin Abilities....



is still a work in progress but you get the idea ..... plus I suggested Lionskin the idea on how to make it visible in battlefield using a mix of grassy terrain and palm trees.....if it will be possible it will thanks to him ^^....couse he knows how to ...

[lionskin]

Here's a quick update, creating a new canopy model for the jungle seemed to remove the black spots some what, i just scaled the palms on the palm model and used it as a new canopy model for the jungle.



Best Regards,

Theoretically, yes, its still a WIP, we should see some positive results soon.

Map looks fantastic!

Though you've missed out the two large Estonian Islands:

And Swedens two Islands:

As I'm a native swede I'd realy like if gotland at least was added to the map.

BTW, I love your skins, they are fantastic! Real Eyecandy!

[PROMETHEUS]

Yes you are right , but since I draw it manually I must have forgotten to go back there when drawing the islands , will see to solve this thanks ....

[al'Callaendor]

[NodachiSam]

This looks great! I can't wait to try it.
