Battlemap Landscapes, Deserts
Hi,
some time ago the issue of battlemap landscape in EBII was brought up. I do remember having stated that I always found the Dune-like deserts in EBI / Vanilla to be a bit unrealistic, since in reality, the major part of deserts is more like a plain of scree or boulders, or rock carved, and dunes forming only a little part of its area.
So, is this adressed in EBII?

No, the team isn't as big as you think to have the manpower for such issues. Maybe in future releases, if those will ever see the light of day...

Isn't it only changing the climate from "sandy desert" to "rocky desert" on map_climates?

That made me cringe, I would be really sad if EB 2 died before it was finished.

I don't know to be honest but I have a feeling it's more to that. However from what I saw on the campaign map it's mostly sandy desert climate if that helps.

Well, I have no idea a) of how much "manpower" the EB-team disposes, nor b) what are the EB-team's priorities "for such issues", so I must c) beg your pardon for asking such obiviously stupid questions.
I didn't know you were an EB-team member btw, you don't seem like one.

No need to get offended, I just answered your question.

Yeah, I'm just a lurker. Been one since the start of EB 8 years ago.

I think he was wondering where your sig has gone.
Well at least that's what I'm curious about. Are you making a new one?

But I did had the sig when I posted that and even a day after.
No. ~:) Got retired.

Re: Battlemap Landscapes, Deserts
So, you are no longer member of EB Team ?
If yes, in my opinion this is a disaster. First Foot, then Gustave (i can't see him for a long time) and right now you :(
It can't be truth.

Re: Battlemap Landscapes, Deserts
It's a bit more than that, members who have done a lot of work in the past for Eb(khelvan, Aymar, Spartan Warrior, Gustave, etc.) will always be members with privileged access, that's internally agreed in the team. I would like to think that I did enough to have that honourable status.
However I've spent 8 years on EB and I consider that I've done enough and should focus on what's better for my future. But on the bright side the the campaign graphics are mostly finished and so are most of the first release units.
I hope that clears things up and let's stay on topic from now on, any other questions can be done through PM. ~:)

Re: Battlemap Landscapes, Deserts
Huh? Foots gone? gustave has gone? Tux has left now? How have I been missing all this?
Well this sucks. How many people left? How many of those particularly active?

Foot? And Gustave? Are you serious?
Oh wow. I didn't know.
That is one big loss for the EB Team, sadly.

Re: Battlemap Landscapes, Deserts
Come, come people. You're not shocked. You only think you are because it hasn't registered that these people's departures have been announced (with Foot's new employment opportunity being one of the more widely acclaimed).

Re: Battlemap Landscapes, Deserts
What on earth are you talking about Vartan? Foot just left one day without saying a word to anyone, we know absolutely nothing about why he left.

Re: Battlemap Landscapes, Deserts
This thread is confusing me. Honestly I know nothing about the team at all.

Must have confused another thread of his :( In either case it's a winning situation for him. Let's not dig through the archives.
