Hey Redko,

Reworking fine Tunisia map will be challange even for your moding skills...

Tunisia is more complex landscape than MTO (...read Lybia)

There are variety of desert colors:


Also they have bushy-desert areas:


There are many semi-green and green mediteranean patches in NorthTunisia:


Tunisia mountains are much lighter than your dark MTO texture:


You will need some 3-4 new texture patterns...

Best luck Maestro!


If you make it - who needs Cliffs of Dover !  :)

Yea i know. I have been studying the map since 2 month. 8 kinds of different climats. The map made by Oblongo covers mostly cultivated part. There isn't to many desert but more dry agriculture. It's greener near the big cities linke tunis, the question is had that area the same level of agriculture in WW2 than today ?
I'm looking for some archives of french period. There will be much more fields here than MTO

So....this is for test only, don't make any conclusion, this is all previous stages, i'm not shure to keep these textures, and i haven't fixed the colours, this is just for "concept".
Just textures, you can see the stock objects on the ground, i will have to remove this and use Lejo's pack of objects + more maybe.



And here is the problem and my question. The actual map describe the modern Tunis and if we consider what was the city in WW2 period i should remove those land parts in red here:



This a middle age urbanism stage for Tunis :



And the city until 1914 :



You see it seems that those land stripe weren't there. And the is also some fortification to create, as until the war the city was limitated to the old fortification system:

Just before the begining of the war:



Detail about fortification:



I will have to bild that too. If someone has more informations about the city before WW2 begins please share with us, and confirm that the land stripes must be eliminated from the map, it's my opinion. I will try to find more date from my side of course.

The second question is about the castle Oblongo added in the town, on my pics and in Oblong's version it's in the town as there is no fortification system. There it seems the catle is outside. IF i don't mistake it's the "Fort of Sidi-ben-Hassen"...

Whoa!, i didnt notice all this! Awesome!, Thanks Redko!

Here is the only map that have all the airfields of Tunisia with names (Post Allied Invasion i think, but you get a picture)



This one is supposed to show the Axis Airfields in 1942 and the next one is from the book Fw-190 in Tunisia showing northern Tunisia area.





And this one is important for Tunis Lake and the electric train lines.
