Latest summer map update, by Zeus!


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Being a discrete God-king of the Greek Pantheon, Zeus has an unfortunate habit of hiding his updates deep into existing threads. I thought this one deserved a thread of its own:

 

Hi all

 

I have some news for you.

 

That's how the world you are used too is changing (check out an animation gif file, all WiP):

Cheers

For some reason I couldn't copy over the youtube links he posted (am on a mobile device)

No too shabby! But I still see the near-ground as pastelly looking, like from a pastel painting. Is it just me?

The summer map looks amazing!

 

The transition reveals that the field-tiles don't match up all too well though. The plough furrows in the winter map runs the perpendicular to the directions from the field lay out in the summer map. However, unless the maps are compared tile-for-tile, that won't matter.

Photorealistic i would say, at least in last update.

Good to hear. I'm a bit color impaired which doesn't help.

I can't wait for that green terrain.  Looks really good...

I'm so used to snow I'm actually finding it hard to imagine what this map will be like

It will likely always be that way to some extent. It is better than the early ROF stuff. Even the natural world has a bit of shine (waxy leaves, grass, quartz, etc)  but to model it would be a resource hog. It's the same reason we don't have a lot of glint off of the man made objects either. It is a compromise for playability. All that being said, the terrain is still fairly remarkable and getting us close to photo-realistic.

Bootiful!

 

I wonder where the second picture is. If it's on the Luki map, it should be findable - two villages at the start of a stream... [i wish I had my game! I'm away from home right now...]

Three cheers for Zeus!

Nice Zeus! Can't wait!

 

In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got winning, you got winning on your mind
Have a boom, have a zoom
Go out and see what you can find

Will the summer map just be Stalingrad, or will it be SG and Velikie Luki?

 

Cheers

Is it definite that we're getting separate autumn and summer maps?

As 'definate' as 'it was written in DD87'. Even though that original announcement only mentioned the Stalingrad map, it was very clear that there will be three seperate version of the map, one for each season. 

 

Jason has since confirmed, that all BoS/BoM maps will be available in the other seasons versions as well.

It looks like a Finnish 109 and some mountains?

He said that's unannounced work by some enthusiasts...Announcement and completion depends only on these enthusiasts. Looks like Murmansk scenery.

Yes, the second screenshot could be from the Murmansk area, but the mountains are too high for this region. Maybe they are from a Caucasus map?

Finland and northern tip of Italy it seems like?

North Africa maybe?

Looks very intriguing. I can't wait to find out exactly what it is. :)

One does feel very positive just looking at the pictures. So it must be the North pole.

Don't mean to sound dismissive, but how do you know how high the mountains in those shots are?

Murmansk would be totally epic :)

Wow.

Wow! Need some more info! :)

Looking mighty fine!

I don't know how hight they are exactly, though the clouds might allow a rough estimation. All I know is, that they are too high and steep for the Murmansk area.

 

If both screenshots are really from the same map, the mountains might be from an area further to the west in Norwegian territory.

Whatever it is it looks awesome and I hope it will be added :)

Zeus just might pop in for a moment and give one more tiny detail about the screenshots.........insert puppy eyes.
