I've been sculpting the Ardennes height map
« on: March 22, 2025, 02:04:19 PM »

For my taste the Ardennes map's topography is too boringly smooth. Well, certainly not as bad as a number of stock maps (the New Guinea map being about as horrible as it's possible to get.) Recently I undertook a few bouts of working over the height map in the FMB. In addition to giving the landscape more small-scale undulations, more so in the forested areas, I've rationalized the slopes along the rivers, and better leveled the railbeds and roadways. The same map_h.tga applies for both summer and winter. I'll release it soon, as I'm wondering if I should touch up some remaining areas. Here's a snapshot...

Looks good mate.

I'm currently updating a stock map as well.

Lovely. The more hills, the better.
I can't stop admiring all the improvements of the old game done by a handful of smart people.
