Bellum Pacifica Map

Post by MakeeLearn »

Bellum Pacifica V3


Version 3





Stock map, hexes only

The map labels, roads and rails have been enhanced.

This is a map made from a crossing of a Chemkid Yamato Damashii map and the stock map.


Ive made a try at the extended map. As Ive yet to play on it, it's a shot in the dark.

It is darker/softer than the stock map, yet still has rich colors.

Overall, I believe it's easier on the eyes especially in a dark room. Units and base stand out more.


The pics are V3 at 90% quality.

Looks nice! A little more polish and I'll give it a try eventually...maybe throw it on one of my games now just to check out.

Interesting. Can you upload one panel in original size? I am curious about the terrain textures.

Will do. Convert to jpg, from bmp, to make the file smaller. 1m limit on pic upload.

I will post a specific area if someone wants it. After work.

I like the darker map. I think that will be easier on the eyes after many hours.

The labels over landmasses mesh into the background too much. Those over sea hexes are muted, but still readable.

Looking good! Big fan here of Chemkid's topo map but it is often difficult to identify the terrain type on his map - on your version it is easier while retaining a "Google Earth"-ish impression. Will definitely try your finished product.

I agree with LST, I was able to identify the terrain better on the stock maps then on Chemkids. This looks like a nice enhancement to the stock maps with the realistic look of Chemkids maps.

One thing I would like changed is the color for Allied dot bases. Its so hard to see that shade of green against another shade of green background.

Thanks for the comments.

Hopefully we can make enough styles to have a selection for everyone.

Any chance you could do an extended map version?

Sure. Iam unclear on the differences. Is it actually more map, or just different off map sites?

great start! looks much more interesting than vanilla and seems to keep the terrain info very well.
labels and networks look like 'work' to me...

Those really do look great Makee! I especially like the way the border in Borneo is visible, but not the least bit intrusive: it is there if you want to look for it.
