Hello there Forum! I am happy to announce my new map project:

The Golanheights in Israel/Syria

The map will be 10km x 10km, so it will have a complete size of around 100km².

It will feature several cities and many small villages for some intense CQB-Fighting, many military areals and also at least 2 airports and maybe some unfortified airstrips.

There will be a highly mountainous part for the infantry and wide and flat plaines for some intense armored fighting.

The map is made according to real life data (BIG THANKS TO CYPE FOR THEM!) which will be adapted for gaming purpose.

I won't do this map completly alone, i will have help with the object placement by daSh, from the Legion

Some more screenshots are available here.

For these map the beautiful JBAD Buildings are a requirement!

Please give me some feedback to the map and tell me which features you think are a completly must have you want to see on it, we will make it possible!

Greetz, Don!

Nice. I scoured google earth for places that would make great arma maps and would also be geopolitically significant enough to warrant a battle. This was one of the ones at the top of the list. Glad someone is tackling the area.

Yes, one side is the cost of the Sea of Galilee to enable other approaches for missions (e.g. SEALS)

Sure! I'm planning to work on small quarters..so they will always be an already playable/testable area (for now arround 1-2km² is "finished"/objects are placed)

Thats why i liked Cype's idea. The area is "logic" to have some big wars in the next few years..unfortunately. Also the area has a nice mixture of hills and plains.

I'll keep this thread updated with pictures!

Hi ItsDonJon! If I can suggest an idea, is it pobbible to add a big port? I ask this cause I don't see images of ports. So is it pobbile to have one big? To park a carrier or a LHD, or add there some kind of "tunnels" (drain) to add the scuba insertion possible? Sorry for my english if you don't understand!

Thank you :)

I have a question for all of you! What would you like more? A loyal-to-reality version or a modified (for gaming/look) version? I am talking about the countryside, cities and villages will be modified for gaming purposes :)

For example: My version of a hill: 6kqkadbl.jpg

and the real hill: https://www.google.de/maps/place/Golan/@32.787601,35.632645,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1s-L8X2mV3DBMA%2FT6jofGYo9qI%2FAAAAAAAABOk%2FYTyIio5VlUw!2e4!3e12!6s%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2F-L8X2mV3DBMA%2FT6jofGYo9qI%2FAAAAAAAABOk%2FYTyIio5VlUw%2Fs203-k-no%2F!7i1024!8i683!4m2!3m1!1s0x151ea86dae7bdc5f:0xe12ffe365d6c370a

what do you think? I think i would prefer a modified approach, because without any vegetation/few vegetation you would have many troubles to get to your operation area.

Oh well you will get a lot of different opinions on that question ;). I personally would prefer the real deal but I can understand the guys that want a modified one.

I would say real as long as it is still possible to get to the top and back down without falling and dying, at least until we there is rock climbing gear in arma :P
