1.0 Map, Battle of Hampton Roads
« on: April 16, 2015, 05:59:03 am »
Hey y'all, I've been working on a map for 1.0. I tried to model it off the Battle of Hampton Roads due to some of the Amazing ships our great devs made. Downsized a lot of course. This is my first map I've made so bear with me. I'd appreciate any feedback! Also I've added some detail since these pictures ;D

Wow good work man I have a battle you could try it would take some time to make but ill love to see you do it .Well  at the battle of Port Hudson. In Louisiana 1863 * America's longest siege to date * Well there was a place there called  Fort Desperate was the name given to the Confederate position sitting at the top of an exposed ridge on the northeastern corner of the Port Hudso defensive line  It was so named by the men serving inside it -primarily the officers and men of the Fifteenth Arkansas Infantry Regiment (Johnson's), commanded by Colonel Benjam W. Johnson. They withstood the ferocious Union attacks of May 27th and June 14th, along with continuing artillery barrages and sniper fire without giving an inch during the entire 48-day siege. A good many of the men of the Fifteenth Arkansas Regiment were veterans of the Fort Henry and Fort Donaldson, Tennessee battles of February, 1862. The majority who were there had been captured when the Confederates surrendered and spent seven months in Union prison camps, most at Camp Butler, Illinois, where more than half died of illness and disease. After they were released in September, the unit was reorganized and was sent to Port Hudson, arriving on November 1,1862.

Looks good ;)

What's up with the water tho? Oh and you put some boats too low, raise them so there's no water in them.

Looks good!

A note about the ships:
- the Monitor and the Virginia aren't supposed to have players on them, they're decorative rather than practical.
- The sloop of war isn't finished, and is supposed to be practical rather than decorative (players can walk around on this prop) - I'll finish this prop if I get time
Check out mods I've worked on: Blood and Iron: Age of Imperialism, and North and South!

I'm not sure why the water looks the way it does. Sometimes it looks good and sometimes its all shiny. I raised the boats some time after the screens were taken but when you ride them around a little bit of water still comes in. Parrot: I know but I had to use them lol. Theres really no point in going on the monitor on this map, but I did put some swivel guns on the CSS Virginia and a bell on top. Can't wait to see you finish the sloops!

Water tends to look different when you are in the editing mode versus actually in the game.

This map is now on the DA server as siege under Fort Fleetwood.
