................................... Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Yes! That rocky desert is much better than the other sand dune type terrain. [Edit] I'm not sure about the towering mountains in the background though, was there such huge mountains around in the desert?

[Edit] I'm not sure about the towering mountains in the background though, was there such huge mountains around in the desert? Actually the rocky desert does not replace the "sand dune type terrain", but is a different group type altogether. All of the terrain types you see in the B&T screens are in the game: dirt (grass), arid rocks and sand. Dirt also comes in two variations, let's call them dry and green for lack of a better term. You can choose the ground type independent of the theater. Of course this also affects how, when and how much dust is created atc. And each of those types can be further modified to be (for example) dry, wet, muddy, or covered with snow (in Italy) and so on. The Mediterranean terrain is so varied that this was a must to code, and I think bigger variety isn't a bad thing Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................................... Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Great, thanks for the explanation From the pictures I've seen of the Desert War rocky arid terrain seems to be much more prevalant than sand dunes. I suppose deep sand would be impassable for most transport anyway hence they avoided the Sand Seas. Another question if you don't mind, will we be able to have the rocky arid type terrain as a default in the QB generator rather than the sand terrain? Re: the mountains, many thanks for the prompt on Tunisia. However AFAIK in Cyrenaica and Egypt where the fighting took place until 1943 there were no mountains, just escarpments which I assume would be a flat topped cliff. I was hoping to see empty horizons, but what the heck, they could be modded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to see empty horizons, but what the heck, they could be modded. There was the occasional hill or ridge, but I don't think they were normally as high or steep as in the piccy. There was the Jebel al Akdar in Cyrenaica, which was both hilly and green (I think the name means "Green Hill"), but though creased with wadis, I don't have the impression was especially high or steep. Hard to say without detailed maps and photographs, and I don't have either. In any event, they were rugged enough that the armies largely avoided them except where the roads ran through. Only the LRDG and similar groups entered with any regularity, and for various reasons they weren't taking a lot of photos. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

................................... Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Eeeeew! The latest 'Sherman stalking Fritzes' pic is worse.

Kwazydog Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Im pretty sure its been mentioned that the shots are work in progress...yup, a dozen times or so, anyways . Those mountains are actually from the Italian theatre. Dan [ September 25, 2003, 08:37 PM: Message edited by: KwazyDog ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive mountains and plain sand all around, plus the sky seems grainy. What part of North Africa is this supposed to be? Skies are grainy due to jpeg compression. I choose crisp tanks over crisp skies. Trust me, they aint grainy in the game. And I would remind people that the mountains seem alot more prominent because of the low angles of many of these shots. In reality they are far less overpowering (though fecking awsome looking I must say). WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
