Join my WW2 map making team

Here is a binoculars item icon....

Here is an icon of propaganda brochure.....

started on the world map, still needs some refining but the basic shape is there.

Pretty nice terrian. IMO it just needs a few (scaled down) trees ans such

Yo! Very good terrian.... Good work Phenix-VI!....

Maybe it is not a very good icon, but I don't know what to put on inspire courage aura, exept for the lion.... Vongimli I could remake an icon if you give me any ideo of subject of inspire courage... Ok?

Artur, try putting an eagle or soldiers saluting

It looks a little cramed to me... i need their to be plenty of water space to have naval battles, and the japanese islands will play a part in the battle also. I think it should be as wide as it can get. And also, i just played a map with almost an identical terrain :D

Sry... but it looks like you copied it from a WW3 map.

i made a WWIII map awhile ago for RoC, it never really took off till TFT Beta when i added some proper boats and some decent trigger based weapons of mass destruction, then it got modded to hell by noobs and ground into dust, you dont need to belive me, but i have some bad news: The map cant get any bigger than 256x256, no matter what i do i've never seen a way to do that, you can probably see start locations on the map, as it is there is barely enough land to build, if i make the land smaller and get more water it will be neigh on impossible, i'm sorry but a world map just isnt feasable.

Well, maybe you should only concentrate on the center of the world, you dont have to have the poles on there, just inbetween. Then you could make the continents taller, allowing more room to build, then make them a little thinner to allow more sea combat. Im just asking for more space inbetween the continents. You can make the continents a little smaller to compensate. Looks like this map wont be as big as i would like... but oh well.

Also, we wont need the bottom of south america or africa, or austrialia, so you can take those out to allow more space.

if you want to make the map bigger you can size the units n doodads down

Hi all agian!... Thx to L Tetris Block for his ideas... I have made an icon of Inspire Courage Aura... It is an eagle with USA flag as its background (because it is a USA ability)...... Here is a screenshot...

pheonix is right. I could take it one time over and do some very precise stuff but pheonix has a darn good map *if i do say so myself* though not as athstetic as you might as hoped *pleasing to the eyes* it should be good for what you want. Also could i suggest not doing the whole kitten kaboodle, but a bunch of battles, that could allow the terrain to look nicer, less icons per map *we'll have a stockpile MUAHAHAHAHA* and probably be more fun. I've found that the more small scale a map is the more intresting it is, seriously what type of map would you play? a WW3 map where you are the axis and it takes FOREVER to build and is too hard to move your armies. Or a Dday map with keyboard movement, pillbox's specific objectives to move up the map, and the map would only have to be like 128x96 so you could capture the feeling.

I do want a little bit more space for water, but i am going to scale units down to be able to fit more. I am also going to make transports carry alot of units. And unlike WW3, this map will have a food count, just it will still have more units that a regular map (infantry are 1 food, tanks 2/3, planes 2/3)

Also, this is not the only map we are making. If you read the first post, their are many other maps we are going to make, including a D-day one. I am thinking of wrapping it up with a campaign.

i think you can fit about 15 units into a transport before the icons are not visible in the "loaded units" thingo, i'll hafta experiment, right now its not very pleasing because i havnt reworked it, but that will come.
