anthariel 165 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone. Since i've started Tilos (my first island) I've always wanted to make a Afghan Terrain, so i've recently paused Tilos and started a new terrain, Kandahar Province. So first of all, click here to see some of work in progress screenshots. I've started this map since the 21 February, so this is a very early work-in-progress images you can also see typography of the terrain by clicking here. About the terrain, Kandahar Province is a terrain (8kmx8km) based in the Kandahar Province in Afghanistan (obviously) with some cool feature : Mountains caves Desert part Forest part River through villages Arghandab River High level of details Reworked Wild-Life (awesome with JSRS3: Dragon Fyre) Manually placed object (no automatic generator) I'll make a video in few week to show more in-game footage. Feel free to give your opinions and ideas here ! Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

tom.tucka 75 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) This looks fantastic, Cant wait!!! @Anthariel Will this have any Patrol bases or FOBs on? Edited March 8, 2015 by Tom.Tucka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anthariel 165 Posted March 8, 2015 @Lumnuon : Indeed :) The satellite picture ( used to define the position of clutter and display the long range image ) is very more realistic than an fictional picture created in L3DT/Photoshop. @LAxemann : Thanks, I'm glad you like it :cool: @Tom.Tucka : Thanks! Well for the moment i don't know but of course i'll add 3 or 4 fictionnal FOB on the map and maybe one airfield but I fear that this breaks the realistic and immersive side. ( but it's could be cool for AAS / Invade & Annex ). @MrEwok : Thanks, well I hope that your OED and HMMVV mod's will be useful on this map! :cool: @Opendome : Thanks!

That's great maybe 1 Main FOB and like 3 Patrol bases, I don't think a airbase would be necessary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthariel 165 Posted March 8, 2015 Yeah of course one main FOB. For the airbase, i think i'll do a poll after the Alpha release :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom.tucka 75 Posted March 8, 2015 Yeah of course one main FOB. For the airbase, i think i'll do a poll after the Alpha release :) Sounds Good! Just showed people in my unit and they love it too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anthariel 165 Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks for sharing Tom :) @Nomisum : Thanks! I'll publish some new screenshots of the Arghandab River in few day. Also, here an idea of the location of some FOB / Camps : http://i.imgur.com/LmJpSyh.jpg ( all names are realy names of FOB / Camps / Firebase based in Afghanistan ).

To me personaly 1 Camp and 2 FOBs as depicted in your picture are enough. I think it really destroys immersion if you run into a military base every kilometer.

MFG4Ever 13 Posted March 8, 2015 Wow! This looks awesome. Looking forward to following the development of this map. Just my two cents regarding bases and such, I think what you've got planned is more than enough. I can understand why some people might want an airbase, but looking at what you're thinking about placing down, I'd say that's plenty. An airbase might be a bit overkill on this map.

anthariel 165 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks you for your feedback. Well, if needed i can also create two maps : Kandahar Province (without airfield) Kandahar Province AF (This version included with the first map) have 1 main airfield in the top left and a Dirt Airfield somewhere. So when you download the map you have the two version but for example a server can choose the version wanted for the server.

lumnuon 295 Posted March 8, 2015 That would make everyone happy :). However I would like to have 2 seperate downloads then but that´s probably just my opinion. For example I try to have realistic maps only in my arma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockdpm 10 Posted March 9, 2015 As long as its got a fob with maybe a small air strip and helo pad's or a version with a airbase.... This map blows all others out the park! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthariel 165 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) @Lumnuon, Why not, but if you want, you can also just delete the Kandahar_Province_Airfield.pbo in the addon folder. @ELTyranos, merci l'ami ! @WillamEQUALSD, Wow! Thanks you! I will keep you up not worry :cool: @Rockdpm : Thanks a lot, for the airfield i'll create a poll soon :) Here a very quick video where i'm just walking through the first village.

chompster 29 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) wooooow... that's amazingly detailed. btw is this stand-alone or will it need AiA/terrain pack? Edited March 9, 2015 by Chompster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
major_desync 137 Posted March 9, 2015 Some lovely object clutter placement there (I know how much work goes into that!) and a very nice sat map too! I think will be a smashing terrain - good luck and good mapping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
