I dunno, the minimap on Kozelsk is useless for judging terrain, there's a big ass cliff that runs a long part of the map, yet you can barely see it on the minimap.

I want to look at a nice COLORFUL map when I am dead. I hope the devs do not take this poll as repesentative, because if the OP would post the colormap next to the line map the results would be very different. The point is that a nice looking colormap for overview is a central part of the map, and during many hours of mapping which can be frustrating, looking at a nice top view of the map is the only thing taht keeps me going

These maps are awesome, I'd love to see these ingame but if it's unrealistic then sobeit. Maybe only for factions who wouldn't have access to aerial imagery? Nah, that's probably hardcoded.

-Could you have topo map for the minimap and normal map for CAPS LOCK?

VoXiNaTiOn · 03-15-2009, 10:42 AM

AFAIK, they use the same file, so no.

Or you could blend the two in photoshop? Not sure of the results... But It could do it if you remove the white? bah..

These neeed to be added!

This is probably late in the development, but here's the US Army's manual on topographic maps:
FM 21-31 Table of Contents

Even if it just adds one thing for authenticity then I'm happy

I think these would bring alot of depth to the game, call for more thinking and add alot more realism.

I like how the USS ESSEX is written. Should be like that ingame.
