Town & Country-Side of Ilovaisk in Ukraine

[Commander Salamander 10]

Hello. I'm the leader of a milsim unit titled the 137th Guards Kubanskiy Kazachiy Order of the Red Star Parachute Regiment, and I have a request. The 137th, in 2014, participated in the battle of Ilovaisk ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ilovaisk ); I would like for this town and the country-side around it to be emulated in Arma 3 terrain. I researched how to develop maps and it seemed like a full time commitment, and I have many commitments including doing essentially everything for my unit, so attempting to create this map is somewhat out of my range, unfortunately. The benefit would be mutual, I would create and awesome mission that I may publish on the Steam Workshop with a link to the map and of course the credit of whoever developed the map, and the developer of the map could publish it on Steam and/or Armaholic for many people (namely those interested in the Ukrainian intervention) to enjoy.

Heh, well map creation isn't something you just dedicate a month to complete. It's a very long process.. the most remembered maps were under development for a year or two, spanning across multiple ArmA titles. There are a lot of eastern European maps around, either for ArmA 3 specifically or ArmA 2 converted to ArmA 3. I myself am working on an eastern European map currently. If someone is willing to pick up on your idea that would be great, but I think the best of your chances is to either pick up your unit and create a map together (Today with XCAM it is possible to place objects together with friends in a multiplayer session), or adapt your gameplay to existing maps.
