I’ve had a little experience making maps in AB, and I would like to put together an “AAR” of the process.

If someone gives me a good guide, I promise to map maps of Normandy and the Ardennes.

[Af1352pasha]

give us some feedback about map making and its necessary software?

Map making takes time. The data that is necessary is readily available, but putting it all together for the game to use in a manner which looks good in-game and works with the game’s mechanics take time. Also, putting some map making tips together takes time, and there is just never enough time in the day - I’m trying.

As far as tools go, the in-game map editor has been a great addition. However, you need to put pieces together before getting to that point. You’ll need a program such as GIMP or Photoshop, and you will also need a program if you’re working with digital data. I prefer Global Mapper, but I think QGIS would work as well.

You’ve got to make sure the data you are working with is projected at 30m per pixel.
