Gentlemen,

If you need to design a real topo map and you can't find any topo map, then you may depend on Google_earth for a nice representation of the map elevation.

Neat.
Have you made a Thermopylae map? Would be nice for a Greek defend vs. Persian attack.

Yes, a Thermopylae map is almost ready, but we will use it for a German attack vs an ANZAC defense! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

The only problem is that it dosen't show any elevation at all in fairly flat terrain, like the desert. This isn't good if you're trying to design North Africa scenarios.

There is trick for this issue,

go to the tools/option and put next to elevation exaggeration the value of 3 !! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
