Thread: (2 - 4) Cemetery Ridge Winter17 Dec 2014, 14:25 PM Well it's been a year but I came back and gave a quick update to expand the starting base areas. The Western Front Armies were bugged - specifically the US Army base didn't fit on the playable area. My quick changes did add a couple of minor graphical glitches. Once again, as a reminder, 99% of the snow on the map is a light powder and not deep! In: Map Sharing
Thread: (2 - 4) Cemetery Ridge Winter4 Dec 2013, 19:54 PM New update: I opened up a few locations/chokepoints, especially on the eastern side, to encourage slightly more dynamic gameplay. I'm starting to feel more comfortable with the map so I'll stop doing so many incremental updates and posts. Thanks for bearing through my learning! From here on, if something needs addressed or a tweak ever comes, I'll just use the original post and the edit log. In: Map Sharing
Thread: (2 - 4) Cemetery Ridge Winter3 Dec 2013, 18:49 PM Thank you for the feedback. I just uploaded the newest tactical map which shows some of the other territory adjustments I've made in the last week. As far as the part you're referencing, I'll definitely tidy up that region in the next update. The sector sharing the longest border doesn't connect to the base though, so the cutoff is strictly from the road point. Each player has two sectors by the roads that serve as cutoffs - one for the east and one for the west. It could definitely look a lot more intuitive and clearcut though. Thanks again!

Thread: (2 - 4) Cemetery Ridge Winter3 Dec 2013, 16:29 PM Awesome! I'm really glad you've enjoyed it. I just saw you got your Achelous River update posted - haven't had a chance to play it yet, but sweet. To everyone: Yet another version is up with more balanced cutoff territories and the updated version of the (2-6) for 3v3 action. In: Map Sharing
Thread: (2 - 4) Cemetery Ridge Winter2 Dec 2013, 18:52 PM Okay, I just uploaded yet another version. The biggest tweaks are that I expanded the northern base's region and removed the deep snow inside the cemetery. I removed the (2 - 6) version for now as it's so outdated. In: Map Sharing
Thread: (2 - 4) Cemetery Ridge Winter2 Dec 2013, 15:28 PM I uploaded a new version with a lot more polish (i.e. more textures, cover objects and the like). So far I'm yet to hear any feedback. How is the sizing? Any bugs? Do both teams feel fair? This is the first map I've ever created so I know it isn't as refined as those by more experienced mapmakers. If you enjoy it, and/or would like to see it improved upon, I'd love to hear from you though! I intend to keep slowly putting more work into fleshing it out. The (2 - 6) version hasn't been updated with any of the new changes. I'll certainly do that if I gather any demand at all. In: Map Sharing
Thread: (2 - 4) Cemetery Ridge Winter28 Nov 2013, 17:35 PM Not enough has changed to warrant downloading it again, but I just posted a newer version with a few more textures and cover options for the default (2-4) size. I think a few more notes are due as well. While the screenshots might look like deep snow everywhere, the majority of the map is not. I'm a sucker for the powdery snow look; and it's one of the easiest textures to spam until I learn more about mixing them to add realism. In: Map Sharing
Thread: (2 - 4) Cemetery Ridge Winter28 Nov 2013, 17:17 PM I haven't put any textures on the ice yet. That look just came from modifying the Terrain Properties. I followed OlaHaldor's advice and set the Tiling Scale to 2. In: Map Sharing

Thread: Snow covert Objects28 Nov 2013, 12:24 PM Your specific answer was in the Deep Snow Tool? thread. Go into the Heightmap Editor (the 14th toolbar icon from the left). The bottom checkbox is "[]Edit top layer (i.e. snow)" - when you click that box, instead of editing the terrain elevation, you'll be editing the depth of the snow (which will accumulate on objects as you place it).
