After breaching IAEA rules over nuclear enrichment and hiding the development of nuclear weapons, Ardistan (also known as 'Eraan' in the west) has increased tensions in the region by recently testing medium range missiles. The US and British have reacted angrily in this blatant disregard for international law. UN Security Council has passed resolution 1973 giving Coalition forces the moral and legal authority to use force to stop Ardistan's nuclear weapons programme...

Nice island，and it can maintain 60 fps at 10KM viewdistance with everything set very high. The broad highway is really impressive.

But I've found the north the airstrip is not flat

[kremator 1065]

Just wanted to say (and this should go for ALL mapmakers -INCLUDING BIS!) that the fighting intro you have to your map is WONDERFUL! I would have slowed down the switching of active units during that fight to perhaps 5 seconds each but it reminded me of OFP where the BMP would travel down the road and explode as an intro! Perhaps even a way to find units that are underfire and switch to those ones ?

Bravo mate. BEST way to show off a map EVER !

Yes, its not totally flat. AI can still land there fine without damage (and takeoff).

Cheers,

Tup

Congrats on the release! :)
