Campaign Map (Continued) - 40K Terra

Cagarner · 11-13-2006

Right, ive made a new map, considering Comments on the previous thread.

Here Is the latest Map:

Without Borders;

And With Borders:

I want to know what peoplethink, and also names for the diffreent sectors.

masterofweirdness · 11-13-2006

good map! It could use a few more details, and mabye some water so we can fight over bridges (THAT would be really cool!).

Plisken · 11-14-2006

Amazing job. May i ask what program you used for it? we will have names for the secter shortly, But nice Job.

Cagarner · 11-14-2006

I used a combination of a program called terragen and macromedia Fireworks.

Icarus Athrasuriel · 11-14-2006

THAT, pwns. Great job. I'll work on sector names.

stratigo · 11-14-2006

truth be told bit small for a large campaign, but other then that fine.

Cagarner · 11-15-2006

I can always fit in more sectors.

Plisken · 11-15-2006

Try adding more objectives, that might work.

Cagarner · 11-15-2006

Like what? ive done hive cities, space port, and mining facility. What Else can i do?

Also I have the ability to zoom in on each sector and render it in more detail. would this be a good idea to do this as well as the large map.

Infact, there could be sectors within the map, and each sector had 5 zones or something.

Brother_Ambrose · 11-15-2006

how about a communications building?

Cagarner · 11-15-2006

Excellent idea!

Any more?

Levin · 11-15-2006

I personally think this is a great map for 3-6 players... Dunno about a grand campaign, or even how that would work on such a map. Like the Idea of an industial center. By that I mean like warehouses and production. You might have alreay included this in the hive cities but Adding a fuel pipline might be cool. It'd require you to capture several adjacent hex's. Plus, it could add a kind of bonus to your vehicles of some kind...

Cagarner · 11-15-2006

It depends on how many sectors/zones i add in. i could make 50 if needed.

Brother_Ambrose · 11-15-2006

How about like an Orbital relay building? Or some kind of sacred ground?

Icarus Athrasuriel · 11-15-2006

Aye, zones and installations within sectors would be good.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 11-15-2006

50 zones feels like a lot. What would each one represent?

stratigo · 11-15-2006

Heh how about large planetary defense guns.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 11-16-2006

yeah, those could be off-table zones with great strategic importance, allowing deep strike and maybe orbital bombardments

How about an spaceport type thng that allows you to attack any where, if you make more places to attack (see over posts for ideas). dawn of war dark crusade might help for places with speciall abillities.

Killermoose · 11-18-2006

Battles for Spaceports seem to happen frequently in 40k, so I think thats a good idea. Perhaps some reinforcement bonus though for it, to represent fresh forces landing.

Cagarner · 11-18-2006

Right, so in summary, I need to have on the map, a:

*Space Port
*Hive Cities
*Orbital Relay
*Planetery defence platform
*Mining Facility

All fitting in 30 Sectors.

Heroka Vendile · 11-22-2006

other ideas could be:

a Mountian-top Monistary of strong religious significance(A saint came from there or something)
the planets Imperial Guard training camp
the site of an ancient ruined alien structure

I like spaceports, but for arguements sake, if I hold a space port for one "turn" then lose it, my renforcements can't even get to the planet. So how about, for every turn after your capture of your space port you may land ONE adintonal troop choice to reinforce any of your standing armies. Or something like that.

BTW, this idea is assuming you will have a list of units that you may or may not be able to use in one battle. (Like you have 10,000 points on the field, but are only able to use 1500 points in a battle). The cool thing about this idea is if a squad dies in combat, its gone, and your army just lost it, forever. It also brings up lots of more subtle tactics that make the game a lot more fun (and expesnive units and lot more elite).

Captain Baine-Night Lords · 11-28-2006

hey Cagarner..if u got those programs of the net i will try to think of a map...i was gonna try maybe like a Necron Tomb World or something.....and here is my contacts......slipknotman1991@yahoo.com

yeah ithink it could use a bit of water, maybe like, a delta (geography term)
or even a few large rivers or!!!!!!or!!!!! a huge river that goes through the centre of the map with one big bridge to cross it!!!!

Cagarner · 11-29-2006

Here is the link to the Terragen program i used. There is quite an art to it.

Have fun with it.

Also, be patient with it, it can take ages to render sometimes.
