sightreader Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 For armored fights, the long rectangular maps generated in QBs are a pain. Is there any way to alter the default shape to something more square? Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty's Double Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Several ways round this. Most simply, check what map size you have, as if you pick "small", you tend to get long, narrow maps. Go for medium or large and see if that helps. Alternatively, go into the scenario editor and increase the dimension of the map until you are happy, then click auto-generate. Save the map in the QB map folder without adding units and then import when you launch a QB. If you are playing against a human opponent you might want to generate a few maps and let them pick. You can also import maps from the scenarios, and these can be great fun as then are more "sculpted". This is the only way to get rivers and bridges into a QB. Edited because I did the morning feed.

sightreader Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 Thank you, thank you, bless you, bless you. For our little 300 pt armor QBs, the long narrow maps lead to edge camping. I created a bevy of square diagonal maps (start in opposite corners) and it's just been a blast! Basically, with such maps, you feel like the world is as big as you need it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from my side, no - Have a look at the scenario depot, there's bound to be some maps there or ask on the design board or grab a map you like from one of the scenarios.
