Thank you very much and Love from Greece , the summer is waiting ! Hey George! Glad you like my plans, I found the island by accident just looking over the area and thought it looked like a good place to start a collection of maps with. Thanks for the link I will be using it to make the island as realistic as possible! Cheers, Capt. Fantastic 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Fantastic 27 Posted June 12, 2019 Current Release: NoneNew Release: NonePredicted Release: v1.0.0 - 1st July 2019Update: So I have been extremely productive over the last few days, with terrain creation and modification, road placement and precision. The map now has a very good feel about it and there aren't any objects on it yet... Linked are 2 screenshots from in-game showing the terrain at a distance with the satellite image over it, this image will be more detailed in the future but for the current state it is fine. Things I will now begin to work on; - Custom Road Textures, this is to match the stone pathways the island actually has. - Terrain detail, this is the base terrain gaining more detail and being 100% accurate. - Ground textures, looking online at images and video I have seen a slight difference between the textures and reality so this is key to make the island immersive. - Clutter, flat textures are boring and the correct look for grass and other plants is key to adding a living feel to the island. After these few things, it will be buildings and vegetation, I will try to keep this as accurate as possible to the reallocation but some variance will be implemented to give a better gameplay experience. (e.g. military positions will be added) Images: In-Game Image 1 In-Game Image 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnKalo 657 Posted June 18, 2019 Best of wishes for the project ^^^^ In the meantime I am looking for a map with a big enough sea terrain. If it includes a Greek island even better! Although that is for the long run because I got the WIP campaign. Along with other things. Quote Donousa is really a lovely island of Greece , i would like to have a trip there sometime ! For us to see all the lovely islands of Greece it will take some time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
