Thanks old bear!! this map is beautiful in an unassuming natrual way, just like your other work...Originally Posted by Old Bear
Benny/Oden warfare missions please
Tested your new island the last days-its really good!!
Since the first discovery-tour, I have a lot of ideas for some COOPs. Especially the different locations like the harbour in the south west (don´t know the exact name, I´m @ the office) are new things to "play" with.
As you said its not the final version, some more details around the main locations would be nice to give it a more fluid passage to the area around it (like bushes, some small buildings here and there).
@Bushlurker : thanks, suggestion greatly appreciated !
But I am a bit unsure about using it on Tropica now that Berghoff has released a new updated African foliage addon ... nevertheless it will be useful somewhere ...
Some of my friends from the other side of Earth ... yes the guys walking upside-down have some questions about the map ground colour. The colour variations was one of the biggest issue during this map building. As you can see I have not mastered the thing despite my efforts ... I have stopped for a while having found a balance.
The overall colours of the map are coming from the Namibia desert xtra large pic I use. The colour of the texture is coming from a pic of the same area you can find on Wikipedia : Tropic of Capricorn:
As you can see, it's not so reddish ... of course the reddish laterite grounds are associated with humid tropics and the climate on Tropica is not so humid even if the brownish red colouration of the ground show laterite is not far away ^^.
Nice map thanks
New mission (10 players ) created and ready for test if interessted ...
One thing, smoke grenade doesn't work
Been enjoying this map alot, i noticed AI can have trouble crossing the heavily forested areas though.
Yeah I got this too. They can't pass thru the marshes or any heavily jungle areas.

Spoiler:
Well ... the rivers ...
In fact those rivers are not really rivers in the usual sense. This island is in a Tropical area and so is having a very special hydrological system.
During the Tropical storm season, rain is like deluge ant that explain the huge erosion inland, the deep valleys and why the huts village in Djo and Gha basin are build on terrain higher area. Those part are flooded by fresh water in a matter of hours. ^^
So even, if it seems incredible, those rivers are rivers only a few weeks each years. After the tropical storm season, salted water began it slow conquest and just before the rain season, the so called rivers are a place for salted or more or less brackish water that's the reason why it's populated by mangrove.
At the moment, some plants and trees are more or less trying to look like mangrove ... but I hope that with the brand new Berghoff African foliage, released today it will change for good.
The plane ...
As there are special links between some people in the North of Tropica and people from what was USSR ... remember the soviet had built the Banga airport as a spare for Buran emergency landings ... you must not beeing surprised by the landing of a Russian IL-76.
Ah very cool. But is that IL-76 your mod's addon? If so I really hope that you guys release it soon! (Preferably as a standalone addon).
Keep up the great work guys!
