  • Fortress Formosa

This is a map of Formosa and Hoku

Please DO NOT look at China it isn't finished yet

Thought I'd release Formosa first so members can try it out.

The textures are all in place for 7 major cities.

1 member was interested to populate Formosa. I am still thinking about population too.   ;D

All airfields are populated

A lot of texture detailing work  ;D

The airfields created on Formosa were mostly from this website as a recap

https://ww2db.com/country/Taiwan

Fortress Formosa under attack  :D









If you have any issues with loading, textures or anything feel free to comment

Although I haven't put a map out for a very long time Last one was Kuil Islands and Attu island

Updated Water Color Link

https://www.mediafire.com/file/5pe0halr729hbix/FortressFormosaWaterUpdate.rar/file

Also changed -Tes to _Tex too ;D

Made in 4.12 and also tested in BAT

Also to I used hard plate stands from 4.13 I am thinking those should be quite common now They could cause non-saving mission issues if you don't have them.

So, go easy on me he he  ;D

China for early next year some time  ;D

The is a poll if the water should be changed or not My water looks horrible right now I am sure from not updating my graphics card driver for a while  :-[

Ooooops I see a typo already in a main folder it should be _Tex not _Tes change it to _Tex

Also, textures supplied by mostly C Texan from his Hengyeng map, Mission Bug for his shallows texture, VPMedia for a factory texture, IJ for his lowland texture, Mixx for a revamp White Cat top texture, Avala for his beach texture, and me for my rocky beach and rocky cliffs texture  ;)

I'll continue the other thread for China Wip ;D

Cheers and Merry Christmas,

Kirby

The water could be pink, or just leave it as is 8)

Was thinking of the brown color mostly for China  :D

But then again maybe not so polluted back then as rivers are today

Also, All Japanese names for airfields and cities.  :D

I was able to find most Japanese names but there is a small city on the east coast I still have to find

Ooooops I see a typo already in a main folder it should be _Tex not _Tes change it to _Tex

Very nice map farang65!  :)
Thanks!

For the water color, I think the green-ish blue color in the ag_Formosa map is more realistic:

So it also looks like the poll is a resounding yes  8)

Messed around with Ags water colors  ;)

4.12  ;)






BAT  ;D






Also to the map really needs Shanghai and Hong Kong then you could easily use it for the first Sino war and W W 2.

Hi Master campaign maker  :D

The map I have really only has one area controlled by the Japanese  Shantou area that I know of.

Still sourcing any airfields inland

I thought 1 airfield I knew of was wrong it was built in 1949  ;D

This map could be a prelude to a larger map including HK and Shang Hai a lot more airfields that I know of

It could also serve the purpose for Taiwan Strait Crisis 1949 ish

Since the poll is unanimous for a watercolor change see a new link in the first post will remove the poll too  ;D

If anyone has any sites pdfs etc especially about the China coast and adjacent inland regarding airfields that would be greatly appreciated. So far have found mostly USAAF airfield bases in China most popular a similar page like Taiwan in WW 2 Data Base for China but no airfields in my map area Difficult sourcing info
