nice map. I suggest you keep it at 6 villages or less, I sometimes dislike maps that have thousands of villages and cities within 1km of eachother...how can you be lost when the nearest settlement is well.. 1km away :)

looking good

[Nightrain 10]

Looks great! :D

[commander1985 10]

Thanks Guys.

Good Suggestion Fox, its really nice to drive through the island and see something different then just one town next to the other.

Looking good Commander!

An interesting and intricate terrain...

Looking at the aerial view I see three natural "zones" - left, right and centre, with nice narrow "invade/defend" chokepoints... a little reminiscent of a small Sahrani but more complex and 3-way... interesting... This could be a fun landscape for some sort of "seize zones" mission, or maybe a 3-way TVT... with limited air-capability it could be loads of fun with infantry...

I like the suggestion of not too many villages... maybe one major settlement on each major landmass, with a few outlying smaller ones... leave some room for wandering around and getting lost... gives you some space to use vegetation creatively as well...

Looks very good bro, keep it up! The more islands the better :smile: I think this looks great and interesting, post some more pictures if you can! Also it would be cool to have a bridge on one of the islands if it inst there already for convoy missions.

[commander1985 10]

@Bushlurker: Layout is done already, 2 Big cities in middle part and 1 big in the southwest.

I thought that a big city in southeast dosnt fit well....

@Martin: there are currently 2 bridges at the center island. Doing one to the other Islands doesnt look well. However i am thinking about adding a bridge from the west landmass to the harbour that you can see in picture1 .

If you want to see more pictures take a look into the photobucket album i linked in the first post (link is below the pictures)

However progress is at a halt at the moment since i have some weird troubles with my binpbo, configs etc..

very nice. although the forest is a bit too sparse to me, but maybe fill it up with farmlands instead. they make for good ambushes hehe

[commander1985 10]

Well there are some parts with large forests. However the areas with not much trees are intended. Im still working on a city, after that i go into more details and place more bushes etc. for good cover / ambushes .Maybe i still add some trees after first MP tests on our Clan-Servers so lets just wait and see where it leads to :)

Very nice Island. The only comment I have is the Airport Control tower located next to the runway and the fuel tanks. The control tower should be moved back away from the runway and the fuel tanks in an isolated area of the airport.

[commander1985 10]

Good idea about the Fuel Tanks. But where should i move the Tower instead?? Free space is kinda limited at the Mainairport, Move it to the Fueltanks position instead?!?

Thanks for your Feedback :)

[suhsjake 1]

Well if you could slide the hanger next to the fuel tanks over to the current fuel tanks position, you could fit the tower. Then it would look proper as you would have the admin building right across the street.
