Rotoroa Island

Description
This terrain is a loose interpretation of Rotoroa, an island lying in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand's North Island. While the topography and basic layout of the island are realistic, several areas have been fictionalized in order to make the map playable. There are some civilian areas alongside several hardpoints of varying scale and defendability.

Several compounds and buildings have been fictionalized to make the terrain more fun to play on. This map intends to capture the beauty of the Hauraki Gulf, and New Zealand, as it is heavily underrepresented in ArmA 3 terrains. This is, hopefully, only the first island of the Hauraki Gulf we will make, as we have plans to make Waiheke Island next.

Map is 4km x 4km

The lake was meant to be there, but it would have made it a bit cramped between other major points.

Just a Kiwi heads up.
Roto - Lake.
Roa - Long.
This is more like a Riroa - long island.
Gonna go test it out immediately; many thanks!! Not enough NZ maps in the works, so this is really appreciated!
