itsdonjon 25 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Hello there Forum! I am happy to announce my new map project: The Golanheights in Israel/Syria The map will be 10km x 10km, so it will have a complete size of around 100km². It will feature several cities and many small villages for some intense CQB-Fighting, many military areals and also at least 2 airports and maybe some unfortified airstrips. There will be a highly mountainous part for the infantry and wide and flat plaines for some intense armored fighting. The map is made according to real life data (BIG THANKS TO CYPE FOR THEM!) which will be adapted for gaming purpose. I won't do this map completly alone, i will have help with the object placement by daSh, from the Legion Some more screenshots are available here. For these map the beautiful JBAD Buildings are a requirement! Please give me some feedback to the map and tell me which features you think are a completly must have you want to see on it, we will make it possible! Greetz, Don!

Von Quest 1163 Posted June 26, 2015 I see a coastline. Anything with water access gets a thumbs-up from me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cype_Revenge 651 Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Hey DonJon (Jona), i like to see the progress on this (my :p ) Map, keep up the good work and i hope to test a Alpha version soon. Edited June 27, 2015 by 19thCypeRevenge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hkurban 1 Posted June 27, 2015 Nice. I scoured google earth for places that would make great arma maps and would also be geopolitically significant enough to warrant a battle. This was one of the ones at the top of the list. Glad someone is tackling the area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsdonjon 25 Posted June 27, 2015 I see a coastline. Anything with water access gets a thumbs-up from me! Yes, one side is the cost of the Sea of Galilee to enable other approaches for missions (e.g. SEALS) Hey DonJon (Jona), i like to see the progress on this (my ) Map, keep up the good work and i hope to test a Alpha version soon. Sure! I'm planning to work on small quarters..so they will always be an already playable/testable area (for now arround 1-2km² is "finished"/objects are placed) Nice. I scoured google earth for places that would make great arma maps and would also be geopolitically significant enough to warrant a battle. This was one of the ones at the top of the list. Glad someone is tackling the area. Thats why i liked Cype's idea. The area is "logic" to have some big wars in the next few years..unfortunately. Also the area has a nice mixture of hills and plains. I'll keep this thread updated with pictures! Greetz, Don! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fanchkerve 11 Posted June 27, 2015 Would be great with the first mission of harvest red remake (before the shitty warfare mod), hunting down hamas with the tsahal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsdonjon 25 Posted June 27, 2015 Would be great with the first mission of harvest red remake (before the shitty warfare mod), hunting down hamas with the tsahal Hey! Feel free to port that mission on the map as soon as it is possible! I will try to get regular playable versions for you guys :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfod-d_snakebite 80 Posted June 28, 2015 This map looks really really pretty. Congratulations!! :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsdonjon 25 Posted June 29, 2015 Thank you for the kind words! i have a big request for all of you interested in this map: Tell me some ideas what you want to see on that map! Caves, special compounds, etcetc. its hard to have good ideas on a terrain that big :) Also names for villages are welcome and requested! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfod-d_snakebite 80 Posted June 29, 2015 Hi ItsDonJon! If I can suggest an idea, is it pobbible to add a big port? I ask this cause I don't see images of ports. So is it pobbile to have one big? To park a carrier or a LHD, or add there some kind of "tunnels" (drain) to add the scuba insertion possible? Sorry for my english if you don't understand!

itsdonjon 25 Posted June 30, 2015 Thank you :) I have a question for all of you! What would you like more? A loyal-to-reality version or a modified (for gaming/look) version? I am talking about the countryside, cities and villages will be modified for gaming purposes :) For example: My version of a hill: and the real hill: https://www.google.de/maps/place/Golan/@32.787601,35.632645,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1s-L8X2mV3DBMA%2FT6jofGYo9qI%2FAAAAAAAABOk%2FYTyIio5VlUw!2e4!3e12!6s%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2F-L8X2mV3DBMA%2FT6jofGYo9qI%2FAAAAAAAABOk%2FYTyIio5VlUw%2Fs203-k-no%2F!7i1024!8i683!4m2!3m1!1s0x151ea86dae7bdc5f:0xe12ffe365d6c370a what do you think? I think i would prefer a modified approach, because without any vegetation/few vegetation you would have many troubles to get to your operation area. greetz, Don!

lumnuon 295 Posted June 30, 2015 Oh well you will get a lot of different opinions on that question ;). I personally would prefer the real deal but I can understand the guys that want a modified one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scooterperpetual 248 Posted June 30, 2015 I would say real as long as it is still possible to get to the top and back down without falling and dying, at least until we there is rock climbing gear in arma :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsdonjon 25 Posted July 7, 2015 Prepare your postcards! I just wanted to let you know i'm working hard on the map! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

itsdonjon 25 Posted July 13, 2015 So the last few days/weeks i worked on the first city of Golan! Here is a picture delievering an overview: The city consists of an industrial part, an old part (left side) and the "normal & modern" part with an old roman ruin inside. I could post some more pictures tommorrow :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sargken 286 Posted July 15, 2015 Are you using Jbad Buildings if not i would recommend replacing all A2 assets with the Jbad Buildings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsdonjon 25 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Are you using Jbad Buildings if not i would recommend replacing all A2 assets with the Jbad Buildings. Yeah, i am using JBAD! Best desert-y buildings available at the moment. I may add Opteryx' Buildings as soon as they are available. Greetz, Don! EDIT: Oh, i forgot to mention the new Harbor! Here are more screens Edited July 16, 2015 by ItsDonJon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
