What would be you're ideal island?

[Cloney 0]

I have to say that my dream island would be mostly rolling hills and some high grass... Maybe some rivers and ponds. Towards one part of the island there would be a built up area and some houses.

*Edit*

Pardon the shitty grammar in the Topic "you're" should be "your"

A large Island, with a few much smaller islands nearby.

A large central city, a few smaller villages, farmland everywhere else.

Mostly beaches, but one or two parts could be cliff faces.

And an airfield!

etc, etc, etc...

i would love to see a map that had mostly woods or jungle. also, i would want a city island with a bunch of buildings.

[Aculaud 0]

It would be a little larger than malden, and it would be about 2 fifths city, and 3 fifths rural, and forest etc. There would be a big city that would resemble Nueville from saving private ryan with lots of burned out village type buildings, and burned out industrial type buildings, and a big church that you could get up in the tower of. and then there would be off shoots of that city to some sides, with little villages and residential areas and whatnot. And then there would be a good beach for storming, complete with a seawall and everything. Its basicly my saving private ryan island. Iv tried like hell to re-create parts of that movie in OFP, but it just cant be done without the elements i mentioned.

Rocky island with high (2000+ m) mountains

large island with a few large cities, farmland, valleys, rivers, and bridges that go BOOM. maybe a railroad system too. then a tall mountain in the middle like a volcano or something. a harbor would be nice too. 2+ airports.

screw islands. What I really want are varied real world terrains ala jungles, desert, grassy hillly, mountainous. Visually interesting terrain maps. If I had to fight in Russia, I am sure I would die of shere boredom before a bullet ever finds me. rofl

I would want an island in ofp to have alot of town, not big city, just big small type towns! Alot of large forest area with animals to hunt, a real castle at the top of some big hill, with a large court yard!

Lol, and thats because you have seen movies about the winter in wwii?

Screw the islands!

Instead of an infinitly large ocean around the borders, would it be possible to surround the map with a infinitly large forrest/desert/farmland/thundra? Just think about desert island without the water. Could be the site of some huge desert battles.

Is it true that islands can only go as big as 13*13 km?

is it possible to make them bigger?

[NovaPhoenix 0]

Bigger island, but maybe with a long narrow type lagoon/bay maybe formaing a seperation somewhere, that would make units go around it. Sort like 3km inland or more. But defenetly some sort of lagoon or bay thing, bigger than the one in Maldan's east coast.

Around the same ammount of forrests as Everon, and as green as Everon.

Road system needs to be sound and all connected like on Malden, but have the complexicity of Everon. The road system needs to be tested too. And no roads that are like on a 45 degreen slant on the side of a hill

1 major airport, but slightly smaller than Malden and Everon, not so many taxi lanes, but have a fule station so planes can refuel or something. No hangers on the airport, becuase we can place them ourselves in our own missions, (yes you can do that without an editor addon for all the n00bs out there). Also have like a small town airport [grass airstrip] for cessnas and stuff. Once again, no hangers, becuase we can place them ourselves. HAVE THE RUNWAYS AND TAXIWAYS MARKED ON THE GRID MAP!!

Some sort of new industrial area like near a port. Make large open warehouses, sorta like the hangar size and bigger. They are low poly, they look great from the air with chimneys and stuff, and you could drive a tank in them. Great for setting up bases and ambushes.

Other islands out in the sea, so we can use them for special unit placements and stuff, just general editing stuff.

Some sort of large town, maybe near the port or something, and smaller farming villages out.

Have a defined farm and forrest areas, but still mix them around the whole island a bit.

A few new mix buildings, like barns that have open doors for tractors, a few houses that havent been blown away, that you can go into.

Maybe 3 or 4 military bases, just a bit more than Malden has, but not as many as Koljeve (or however its spelt)

A cliff coastal line, maybe at the end of the bay or something, so super high, but steep like the gorge on Malden.

Um i think thats about all I can think of, keep it varied, but familiar, a sorta cross between Everon and Malden, that has more functionality.

Very nice topic.

I would like an island around 3 times the size of we have today. A big mountain side that would be very high and forested in a big part making armoured units unable to go up there. Good place for rebels. Small islands around the island with the bigger ones connected with bridges . Also rivers in the main island with bridges that would be awesome. Also big forests with main roads in them and foreses devided with shallow water and some high grass would be awesome. Villages and one or two cities.

the industrial area sounds promising. One huge airport starting from the sea and moving inlands with capability to land bigger crafts like C-130.

Also smaller airports would be cool in places in woods like covered airports. I want hangars here

Also some ports

In addition a huge base in the lower parts of the mountain with tanks in etc.

Your fantasy island?

When I launched into my diatribe on adding spooks and "other" things as a fantasy pack, things went down hill quickly, and the topic was eventually locked.

Good luck.

I think I would want one that had mostly rolling hills, with a lot of forest, and occassional fields and farms, and houses along the roads (ever drive along a country highway or major road? that's what I'm talking about). It needs to have more detail though! I want ditches and creeks and ponds to have to worry about.

It should also have 1 town (larger than the stock ones - big enough to be called a small city, but not city-like (in the area of 250-1000 people), and several tiny 'communities'. it would be nice to have some roads right through the middle of the woods as well (forest right up on either side of you), and some flat areas and some tall areas would be nice.

As for ports and airfields, they aren't that important to me, since I prefer the land combat with only chopper support. But other tiny outlying islands is a must, as well.

Of course, what would be really nice is to have it full of civilians and animals by default, moving around the island and stuff (i've always wanted to be able to drive around and have to get by other cars and slow down in towns so I don't truck some poor fool wandering across the road.)

Oh well, if only it could be...

At the very least the ideal Island should have a large Dr.Evil style fake volcano fortress with a helicopter pad inside the crater.....
