Isla Balkania (aka Project Massacra)

I'm having trouble understanding the correlation between quality and number of sides touching water.

Peninsula's suck. Just look at how bad Podagorsk is then say you want a peninsula again. I really hope this stays a Isla, because Isla's are the best.

People like to wander off the map and even use that for cheating

IceBreaker, working with some of the communities top map makers on parts of the cities is a great idea, I look forward to seeing the results. I was just wondering, have you created some sort of design brief to give an overall idea of style and layout for everyone to follow? Or will you have everyone let their imaginations run wild?

I cant see anything on this SS but a plane. So, I dont see what's GORGEOUS did you notice too.

Podagorsk is just fine. Why do u think its bad? Chernarus is a peninsula also, and its one of the best maps for arma2. I would mostly like that balkania is open world ground, not an island. Mission makers could easily prevent the cheating on mission. If its island its loosing on the real world looking shape, and there was just a liitle fighting near do costline in exyu wars, mostly in-land..but its on mapper to decide.

I've been taking a rest for a few days now, family comes first (sons birthday, bbq parties, etc). Also reason for a bit of delay is... a new rig that will come handy with mapmaking
I would like to thank for all the project supporters on my website, especially the ones that enjoy playing on my maps daily and made donations.

New rig that will "sweat" on 20480x20480 multi-layered textures is:
- I7 3820 3,6 Ghz (now 4,6 Ghz with water cooling system)
- Gigabyte X79/UG5 board
- 16 GBs Crucial 1866Mhz RAM
- AMD Radeon 6870 2GB gfx
- Dell 23" U2311H monitor
- dual SSDs (tnx to girlfriend for a gift!)
- Crucial 500R case

First tests were successful, daaamn fast

Are there gonna be some rivers on the map,we got a problem that on chernarus we didnt have?

[IceBreakr]

There are at least 2 rivers. One on southern end is quite long. Its called Mirna in RL. But these are very small rivers for smaller boats only.
