Ergon County

[cookies2432 105]

 

Ergon County

Ergon County is a fictional terrain based off of the rocky mountains in Canada and the USA. Dense forests with tall trees covered in snow litter the landscape of Ergon County with its vastness. It has recently seen increased military presence with new bases being built and an airfield where trespassing is punished by death. However it still remains a place of civillian life, even with the increased presence of military personell. You can find several villages / towns scattered around the landscape whom with their presence, represent a peacefull and quiet region.
 

What is Ergon County?

Ergon county is a map that aims to bring more of the winter aspects into ArmA 3 and to provide a new fun and greatly detailed map for people to play on and enjoy. 
Note: Ergon County is still in heavy development and such, bugs are to be expected and if you do encounter them, please send information about them to me as it will help me get it out of pre-alpha sooner. If you have any feedback or suggestions to the map then feel free to leave a comment on the workshop page or contact me directly through steam. 

 

Terrain Features:

Size: 4.10 x 4.10 km (16.81 square kilometers).
Winter: Ergon County is a land filled with snow and dense winter forests which brings you a not as often seen aspect of ArmA 3
Variety: Scattered villages / towns whom are greatly detailed as well as several military installations scattered around the region with a personal military airfield.
Dense forests: Instead of the usual style of forests which are a bit open, the forests in Ergon County are truly dense and give you the feeling of deep and vast forests.
Open areas and accessable buildings: Ergon County offers a lot of open areas and locations which are perfectly suited for player-made areas such as camps or bases. Almost all of the buildings are enterable as well and the aim is to replace non-enterable buildings with enterble buildings.
 

Planned features

Atleast one more airfield (civillian most likely) as well as more military installations.
Additional settlements such as villages and town but also possibly camps / smaller wilderness settlements.
Added detail to the whole of the map, including the areas which are not "inhabiteted".
 

Known issues:
Airfield not completed in regards of ai being able to land there (planes).

 

Changelog:

Spoiler

Version 0.2: Pre-Alpha released for public testing!

Version 0.25: Fixed the gravel texture in debug area to a snow texture instead.

Version 0.3: Added 2 new locations, abandoned factory (south east corner of map) and a slum village (north east part of the map).

 

Licensing and usage:

You are free to use this map on any server you'd like. If you're however planning to edit it, please contact me first (via steam or the forums), I will most likely say yes as the primary purpose of asking is for me to have an idea of how many people are editing and their reason for it.

A major update is currently being worked on, it will however take some time to finish but once completed, it will most likely make the map much more refreshing, interessting and detailed.
