nice map. I suggest you keep it at 6 villages or less, I sometimes dislike maps that have thousands of villages and cities within 1km of eachother...how can you be lost when the nearest settlement is well.. 1km away

Thanks Guys.

Good Suggestion Fox, its really nice to drive through the island and see something different then just one town next to the other.

Looking good Commander!
An interesting and intricate terrain...
Looking at the aerial view I see three natural "zones" - left, right and centre, with nice narrow "invade/defend" chokepoints... a little reminiscent of a small Sahrani but more complex and 3-way... interesting... This could be a fun landscape for some sort of "seize zones" mission, or maybe a 3-way TVT... with limited air-capability it could be loads of fun with infantry...
I like the suggestion of not too many villages... maybe one major settlement on each major landmass, with a few outlying smaller ones... leave some room for wandering around and getting lost... gives you some space to use vegetation creatively as well...

Looks very good bro, keep it up! The more islands the better I think this looks great and interesting, post some more pictures if you can! Also it would be cool to have a bridge on one of the islands if it inst there already for convoy missions.

@Bushlurker: Layout is done already, 2 Big cities in middle part and 1 big in the southwest.
I thought that a big city in southeast dosnt fit well....

@Martin: there are currently 2 bridges at the center island. Doing one to the other Islands doesnt look well. However i am thinking about adding a bridge from the west landmass to the harbour that you can see in picture1 .

If you want to see more pictures take a look into the photobucket album i linked in the first post (link is below the pictures)



However progress is at a halt at the moment since i have some weird troubles with my binpbo, configs etc..
