Title: Fictional map request.
Post by: blueflame13 on July 13, 2007, 10:41:42 PM

Hi, I love Island maps and I would appreciate it if someone could make this map for me. It's based loosely on Oahu. I would make it myself but all the maps I make in SC4 Terraformer tend to look like crap. :D
Here's a picture and I don't expect much of an explanation on the features is needed. The shaded relief stuff is mountains of course. I would like the size to be 10x10 large city tiles.

Anyone have any recollection, from 3RR-ST last fall, of what the next step is?

All I should have to do is hit "Save"and we should be able to start opening those 100 quads.

David about the greyscale you should give it a bit smooth on it for better realism or it will look odd :)

Anyway that way in making maps is amazing! excellent work! :thumbsup: &apls &apls

Eblem (HabLeUrg) You're exactly right- forgot that step.

Anyway, done that now. Here it is in the game.
