Emita City

Nice to see the "courtyard" effect being used in the downtown area. It looks like you will be set on keeping the ruins in the city?

Yeah, there will be some ruins.

Allthough the ones close to downtown are most placeholders for now.

The most difficult thing with this map is to create a nice looking city center,

so until I figure out how to do it, the ruins will remain there.

There is less ruins since we started to discuss this! ;)

And I will keep on changing the ruins for intact buildings.

you could add a big city square in the center. it could also be surrounded by small alleyways with old buildings. u know like an old city core. there could be a city hall or a church or any other land marks.

some inspiration.

It would've been nice if you made a video where you run around on the streets so I can see all the garbage cans/rusty cars/benches/etc in buildings' yards (hint hint ;) ) and to see if it looks like you are in the city if you know what I mean.

Yes, I will do that. But I have not begun with that type of details yet.

I need to finish the layout first.

Whoa that's a lot of city. Also, Bad Benson, it seems like he (she?) is already doing something like that.

One more question: About how long does it take to get from one end of the map to another?

I kind of asked for the pics when saying that I had a hard time creating a town center.

Look at the video, from 1:00 until I reach the woody area with the giant radiomast. Tha's basically a flight from the east edge to the west.

Approx 3km.

@Benson, thanks for the photos, I specially like the 3 first photos!

The second picture is exactly the kind of square I want to create.

Do you know which town it's from?

Dundee?

edit: Yeah, it's Dundee! :-)

Oh man, I am soooo sorry about that. I guess it just completely missed my mind or something.

Sorry, no video. But this should look ok?

[Militant1006 11]

Oh man, that is excellent!

It is one of the few maps that looks like it could be a western city.

[metalcraze 290]

You are doing it right.

And from the look of it it will fit both modern and WW2 eras.

[zombo 10]

that part of the city looks like italy

[bad benson 1733]

i love the alley and the market objects. looks really authentic. maybe add some streetlamps.

Everyone wants detail, and so do I, but the golden question?

How is performance?

Hey Raserisk!

Performance is nice I think.

I can't guarantee anything yet since there still is alot to add to the map,

but keeping the performance good is important to me.

So far, no major problems when flying over the town,

and on the ground I think it's excellent.

And my rig really isn't anything to brag about.

Alot depends on how much AI you put in it I guess.

I will do some proper performance tests later on.

[cyclone83 6]

Yeah, at some spots it's even got a venezian touch ^^ Looking great!

[zombo 10]

is this mod alive ??

[bracer 12]

It sure is.

Just enjoying the holidays, so not much time for Arma atm...

[bracer 12]

Here's a typical farm.

Some of the shown areas are more finished than others, some are due to be changed or removed.

[bad benson 1733]

wow! i'm totally loving it! the wide streets make lots of scenarios pop up in my head already. also like the bumpy road outside of the town. keep it up!

btw is this song by you too? i liked the one playing in the background of your older video very much:).
