Hey, what do you guys think about this terrain for my Operation: Sealion map? So far I have only done the major outline of the islands, but I think it looks really good. The whole map will be used because you will enter and exit the cities. I'm only starting the basics of this, I'm waiting until I finish Plight of the Andronae, tell me what you think.

Personally i'd redraw the majority of the map, basically cut off England from York upwards, you don't need to go any higher than that, also maybe by doing this enlarge the channel and don't forget the mountains/islands all around my blessed isle.

Coko why would I cut off the entire northern part, the Germans would want to conquer the whole thing, and there would be resistance over the whole thing too. And I know that I forgot the mountains and I haven't finished the islans, but still, what do you think?

Look, Operation Sealion concentrates on the invasion of southern Britain, just have it so they've got to reach objectives in Britain in a set time, and such, and make it the south. Like; London, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, Portsmouth and places like that.

Do you have Jersey in there?

I have two questions. Will you have Ireland and Northern Island spearated?, and will you have Hadrian's wall? I agree about the English channel, but I see you can't change that if you're going to have the whole of England. Nice job,

Why would they be separate, they are one country, you might need to make Centre/South Ireland under non-english control.

Hardrians Wall? Haha, funny joke...

Umm...i dont see anything in there...is it suppose to be some kind of city or something?

The Nazis could've destroyed that wall in a couple of minutes if they wanted too.

Anyways Paella make sure that you don't make it as historically possible. Make it so that we just have to get to our goals but we can start the invasion in which ever part of England.

It would be funny if you put:

[] <-- Coko will live here 60 years after.

LOL... Sounds like a good map...

What will you be a soldier or would you command the entire army?

You should have a ghost/marine with a bunch of armie behind you...and you get money for kills...or...just dont worry about anything i just said...just do what you want to do...

It better be a whole army division, with an Air Force uncontrolled, as well as Navy scene and its about landing on England and trying to force your way through with large army.

You know what would be cool for that map...while your just running around a wraith would just fly over you..like in some war movies/if its a war move there are army plains flying over head of you.

I like the terrain. I'd like to see this map when it's done.

When its done he should submit it into the dldb

Don't forget I have a much bigger map already in progress. Anyways, the thing with this is I want to make it so that the Germans have to take the entire island. Should the human player be Germans or British? Also, for the gameplay I am thinkg like this: Naval Blockade around the Island; U-Boats=Cloaked Wraiths, Cruisers=Battlecruisers, Destroyers=Valkyries. As for the land fighting, the player can choose from Antiflugzeuggruppe (Goliath), Kriegsmarine (Marine), Heckenschütze (Sniper), Flammenwerfer (Firebat). For those of you who saw my Operation: Barbarossa map, I will do the names like that, with the German name in front and the English name in brackets. I do this because the map is to be from the German prospective, and the names are 1337. I am also formulating a list of cities that will be targets.

When you go near a city you are transported in and must resort to Urban warfare. I am planning on maybe 3-4 cities like this. Special missions such as artillery battery removal and assassinations may be included.

wow, I like the sound of the warfare... will it be based after any certain battles or just the war in general or what?

Operation: Sealion was the proposed German invasion of Britain, this battle never happened, and for that reason I have a lot of artistic freedom.

It was more a long term operation rather than a battle, England wouldn't have surrendered if they'd invaded, because we are not weaklings.

You enlgish wouldn't surrender because there would be no one left to surrender by the time you do.

The map sounds great but I think the one hero unit in this map won't cut it. Make it so that you control a squad of units like 5 rines a med and a sinper. That way your units would be a bit weaker but you will have to use them strategically.

Make the British comp and human.

Wow Paella, I like that... you have a sort of flexible storyline already created... sounds tight

Also, I changed the terrain from jungle to Badlands, that way I can make buildings and when you are teleported into London it looks reallyl beat up, I will show you all a screenshot of this later. My only question is: Can you make it so that a Terran or Protoss rubble sprite does not fade away? With these sprites it adds a lot of character to the city. I do believe that I am also going to show buildings on fire and stuff.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I'll look into it and get back to you.

All of my research points to no. THat sucks, I guess I am just going to have to put cloaked burning buildings on the terrain instead.

You could just mute the sound and create/move buildings and blow them up.

You can't create units in game on the invalid terrian of the side of a building.
