RUS Strategic Map

[Emx77]

HI,

I have just finished strategic map for Revolution under Siege. Map has two general purposes:

2. To provide new players with map where they can easily find information about...
   
   
   Important cities and their size,
   Location of depots and
   Railroad network.
3. To facilitate...
   
   
   Planning of operations (and logistic),
   AAR writing.

Sample of the map:



Please, find whole map attached to this message and say "thanks" if you like it.

EDIT 1: Added map version 1.01 - Outline symbol for city of size 3-4 is replaced with circle (it was square before).
EDIT 2: Added map version 1.02 - Separate symbols for size 3 towns and 4 cities. Unlike size 4 cities, size 3 towns are not supply sources and do not have a capability to distribute supplies unless a depot is built inside.

Wonderful. Would you agree that we put this inside the next patch (with thanks to you of course :thumbsup , in the Doc folder, so everyone can enjoy the work done?

Often used phrases...

Heh, 1993. I hope your supply undertaking went without accident. It was a risky business landing at the Sarajevo airport during a siege.

Phil, of course - I agree. I would be glad if you put it in the next patch documentation.

Also, here is slightly updated map. In this version, outline symbol for city of size 3-4 is replaced with circle (it was square before). Now it is more aesthetic and there is more subtle difference between 3-4 and 5-6 cities. Beside .jpg map, which is in attachment, here is also RS link for .bmp version (18,3 MB). Use whichever format you find more appropriate.

1993. I hope your supply undertaking went without accident. It was a risky business landing at the Sarajevo airport during a siege.

April to October. Volountary conscript in 403rd French Logistics Battalion (70% conscripts in), Advanced Base Detachment of Pancevo. I did just 2 one-week trucks convoys (and some jeeps and light armors) to Sarajevo, at first coming from North (Pancevo/Belgrade), then from South (Pleso/Zagreb airport, ferryboat to Split) when Serbia went angry with France [few 'federal' tanks went showing afar our small logistics advanced base, so France government withdrawed us to main Pleso base without waiting UN orders (UN huried to give the orders to not lose face)]. 6 months ago there were 2 of our logistics conscripts killed in an ambush near Sarajevo.
But mainly I was in logistics camp, counting toilet paper, helmets and so, or doing guards (sometimes for the GHQ of Zagreb, looking for Swedish secretaries :love . The worst was to clean rares temporary coffins.

Guys, thank you all for positive feedback. Probably, my next project will be ACW strategic map. If you have any suggestions, please be free to share them.

Odličan posao Emx77

This is fantastic, thanks!

Would you mind explaining how you created it? Something similar for other Ageod games would be neat.

You need to define and draw new set of map symbols. Then, use them to replace default symbols in game folder. After that, run RUS and take sceenshots of in-game map (at max zoom out). These screenshots you have to stitch together in paint software (I have used free Paint.net). Finaly, when you have whole map, add layers for different things (name of cites, depots...). Save as .jpg or .bmp.

Something similar for other Ageod games would be neat.

I have already made two maps for BoA2. You may find them here:

French and Indian War scenario map
War of Independence scenario map.
