Lol. That's the best you could come up with? :D

No thank you, this a nice map lots of strategies.

as if that's a bad thing.

I wanna know what inspired you, The_Yak. There's lots of little lakes inside the map, which is pretty unusual for island-styled maps. Not to say this is bad - it looks nice - but I'm curious! Or did you just "play around"? :)

As it says in the description SirArtturi did the heightmap, which he released on the spring forums, I did the rest. It wasn't just simply a "port" to ZK, I did the texture, metalmap, atmosphere, lighting, compiling, etc and everything else required to make it a playable work. I only edited a few heightmap things like smoothing access paths into the water and 2 more ramps in mid.

Inspiration if anything would be the hotlips redux texture that I based this one from. I added grass and then tried to give it a more coastal look, and made the high areas solid rock.

Regarding vehicles, I did want them to be able to access most of the area, though perhaps slopes could be bigger but I'm not sure yet if vechs/tanks are OP on this map. Other units have advantages too, spiders/jumpers can traverse the rock plateus with no ramps, hovers/amphs can go through ponds and access back and sides from water, air can easily reclaim the 10m x5 rock piles on the islands.(you guys noticed those right?)

Oh, true. I kind of ignored the second line. Must've been due to it listing an author, which I already knew. That might have triggered the "Zomg this line is redundant." part of my brain.

You know uh.. I was really baffled yesterday when I found out that you did hotlips. I hate its heightmap and like this one, hehe. Now it all makes sense.

Textures, lighting, etc. look nice too. Thanks for this this compilation! :)
