Nice to hear that, would be a shame if you'd abandon this awesome project. It inspired me for a map that I won't present to the public (yet), your use of Splats is unique.

[Goober]

Unique. Hmm. I'm trying to determine if you mean that in a good or bad way...

Should I just leave my map how it is, or replace alot of the bushes with green ones, as it does give it a different look. It wouldn't take me too long to do. Here are some pictures to compare:

 - I also have a picture of the same area, with the green bushes, but also more "olive" trees and cypresses.

Man, that looks fantastic! Each of those variants could make it I think, you could combinate them to create a wilderness-like environment in the hills

[Goober]

Thanks! I will do that.

[Cranialwizard]

Thanks! I will do that.

It really all depends where you're mapping this out. Near water most of the terrain is green and grassy where as if you head further inland, and towards some of the mountains you get that original look you had in mind.

I'm still going to leave the ground how it was, I'm just going to add some more foliage and green bushes.

[Cireva]

looks pretty neat so far

Of course! I like all 3 pictures btw but I liked 2 best

@Cranialwizard: What if I try doing what is in pic 2, but with a few small cypresses here and there? - And by the way, when I said I was going to leave the ground how it was, I didn't mean that I wasn't listening to your advice, just that the ground would stay pretty much the same, but I would change the foilage. I don't know if you even took it like that, but I realized that the wording could have meant that.  So, sorry. 

Okay, and I'm going to try using sideways vines for grape vines, as they look alot better. Here's a pic:

Nice Grape Vines ^^. Looks realistic My soldiers could treat themselves to some wine b4 shooting krauts

Hey, sorry for no updates lately. I have barely had any free time, and in the time I had I realized that my map was still to big. I am
trying to recreate it in a smaller map area.

[GodlikeDennis]

Yeah map size is really important. We have an internal rule list now for maps to be accepted for inclusion to EF and size is a huge point.

[SublimeSnugz]

Mapsize is a bitch  Its really hard sometime to see the scale of things, something that looks small in WB can look huge ingame.

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

Remeber... better too big then too small (Leningrad).
