Hello, after some time returning here, just found today a reat online source that would most likely bring me back to map designing...

Beautiful. A great discovery!

Started a 100x100 map of area around Hohenau a/March, where the borders of Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria meet - at the center of the Y-shaped river that cn be seen on the minimap.
The map will be very flat (only elevations are rised roads), very wet (apart from rivers, lots of swamps and mud) and very tank-unfriendly (only one bridge across the rivers) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Currently have filled up about half of the Austrian area, and it was the more difficult part (diverse terrain etc) - now all that remains there is to plant some trees, place some streams and then mercilessly plaster the rest with agricultural production http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Progress report. Didn't have much time left, but still atleast the Czech part of the map is ready as well. Not too difficult, mostly swampy forest.

Due to delays caused by the annoying thing called life, I got to the map again as late as today. But I have good news (I hope) - most of the map is done, last things remaining are several gullies on the Slovakian side and various visual makeup.
So I think I can with a clear conscience claim the map will be available this evening http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Okay, not in the evening, things went smoother than I have expected so here's the thing:
