Good Night Irene...

I'm very lucky, just a mile and a half down the road are folks that won't have power before the weekend.

These tiles are sooo nice looking. (Love the P-38 too, wink wink).

Hi Pobs

OK, great news that the new target set and map mod hasn’t been cancelled!

I asked about the waterline tiles for the port mod in January, but never received any. I have Peregrines files from 2005 though.

Cheers

Hi Shawn

Thanks for the screenshots!

The new terrain look excellent and rather similar to your Euro summer terrain, doesn't it?

What are the bright areas in mountains?

Cheers

Hello Per,

Yes this terrain used the same layout or style of building as the Euro-Seasons terrain wayyy back when.
I did test tile after test tile back in Jan/Feb and even though this way has some sides I disliked....I did find overall I liked it best. You still can find the edges of the tiles a little when looking straight on to them...but EAW repeats tiles in such a way it's impossible to use great details (too much or often).

The white spots in the mountains are snow...patchy snow. I removed them at one time but found I liked the overall look better with the little bit of snow....so went back to them tiles. Maybe I can do a set of alt mountain tiles without snow in the near future.

I just finished re-doing both river mouth tiles...Bnriver8 and Bncostrv, I think I have it this time...!

Only four Road tiles left and this set will be done!

Hi Shawn



I've always liked your Euro terrain, so that is a good thing IMHO.



There are not snow on many European mountains during summer, only a few of the highest mountains in the Alps AFAIK. You could check Google maps for reference.
Perhaps you could replace the patchy snow with some more rocks instead or as an alternative?



Terrain making is a tedious work and it's a great feeling when you have had the energy to complete the whole set!



Cheers

I have this mount1 tile that I removed the snow.
I didn't care for it at the time so I went back to the snow covered version...here is a pic with that tile against the other snow tiles to compare.
I would have to remove the snow the other 3 mount tiles...should I work on this or just release the snow version at this time?...add more rock textures or trees maybe? Thoughts....?



Also...did just rework both river mouth tiles...here is a peek of these new versions.





I have started a road tile tonight...nort sure if I can finish. I am getting to the point I will be happy to let others try the tiles out and get feedback.

Hi Shawn

Personally I prefer the mountains without snow since that would be more accurate for ETO and I think it look very nice, but that’s only my opinion...
If you have the energy to include both versions please do, but that’s up to you off course.
It will be a great terrain either way!

The new river mouth tiles look very nice!

Well done!


Cheers

There will be two mount-tile versions (with and without snow)!
I think I will try to add a little more rocks and tree textures and see how that looks.
Just finished another road tile...3 to go...not counting the mount tiles.

I also plan to do furure alt. versions of some parts of the terrain. I have alot of unused tiles. So if some of you guys have ideas of what might be a cool change or better option I want to hear and maybe work many extra tiles to be able to be used with this set.
The best (imo) is an alt version of the edge of each tile...not sure if I can get through that version(I started and liked that idea but it was taking forever)
I did this terrain in a picture frame - field block edge and painted out close to the edge (but not to the edge) so it was easy to match each tile.



The alt version was kinda the same but not every block on the edge was the same...some were half as large and used the edge of the tile for the edge of the field....so the tiles blended together much better. I really wanted to do this set in that way but man was it taking alot of time. I bet it would be easier to just work on that one thing and not have to build whole tiles. After this release I hope to get a small set of tiles together to show better what i'm saying.

Anyway...i'm sure most stopped reading a little while back...hahahhaha!

I have to say I have missed doing terrain tiles...It was the part of EAW i've really loved the best. I wished I could shoot down planes..hahaha. I always run out of ammo or spin!

I must admit to do turn on unlimited ammo sometimes and just blast away... ....and bombs and rockets on unlimited are kinda fun once in a while.

The best way for anyone other than Knegel to shoot down another plane in EAW is to tuck in close behind (fill up the windscreen with his tail) and shoot off his arse.

What I am really wondering is how we will be able to look for boggies with such beautiful countryside passing below. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Great! Thanks!



Yes please do, I didn't quite understand.....



Ha Ha ... I know what you mean...

Cheers
