The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Strela]

Sounds good!
All we need now is an OOB converter and we can expect a gazillion new releases this year ?!?!

There actually is an OOB converter, it's useful but not perfect. It comes down to the standard of the initial OB and the structure of units etc. Unfortunately creating an OB (and map) are just two steps out of the multitude. The scenarios and testing are probably the biggest in terms of time and items such as the Parameter data can have a huge influence over these.

Add a new game series with a lot of new features and there is a lot of work.



Talking about the map, here is reminder of the map from the first page.





Now have a look at this version straight out of the converter. It's roughly the same area and needs height levels, labels and details put on it.




You can imagine the amount of time, research and work to adjust the map to the finished state.

Another factoid here. This map section is 36 X 18 hexes = 648 hexes. The full map in the upcoming release is 299 X 341 hexes = 101,959 hexes in total. Imagine the time it takes to update the map to the standard required.
