Map: Map making for hire

[Imp]

If you still fancy ago heres a project I had but never got round to, no maps used google maps to look at & these maps would probably want full size or at least 160 x 160.

Will dig out the project if your intrested was a campaign idea can only remember the one location off the top of my head but chose a route from one of the big border crossings following the autoroutes as gave a good variety of terrain, off the top of my head maps were

Eastern border crossing
Farmland
Woods & small settlements
Then changed autoroutes avoiding near big city as tasked with other mission
Think rolling hills with woods
Airbase
Fairly open ground
Plock, Poland - the city river & oil refinery, was going to do 2 maps one with refinery on the left then copy that part & do another with refinery on the right. Map base height should probably be 10 so need to be close to river to see into.

Think might have been Plock then the airbase cant remember but think the airbase is SW of the river.
If you want to have ago will dig out the file off my other computer.

How to set the Map Base Height in the map editor? And, will that help in creating elevated building?

Set the fill range to a high level, select the terrain you want in this case level 1 hill & press the fill button. Do a few times across the map till its all at that level.
With hills the map edges may still show slopes in which case save it & reload it & that will get rid of them giving you a flat map.

Turns streams into deep cuttings & makes LOS into rivers much harder, you can spend a bit of time making some gentler sloping terrain into it in places using the asterik key & or marshes. i.e. set some hexes to 2 4 6 8 for a gentle slope.

I ocasionaly do it on the odd hill esp if a road is going up it or for raised, sunken road & raillines.

No you cant do it managed it once somehow using the asterik key & a multi hex building.
The trouble with raising the height of the building is you produce a hill & hence slopes so for urban enviroment ruins LOS for any adjacent road unless thats what you want.

Save your map before messing with the asterik key it can sometimes cause problems forming a ripple & producing invisible slopes elsewhere.
