The water, I'm not too sure about. I know there's some way to make the water flow in a specific direction, but it might be one of the atmosphere variables. I think most of the water settings are in the atmosphere settings for the map, actually.

Good luck with the map. Leave a link if you ever complete it. Also, you're welcome to copy and paste parts of my map into yours as long as you give attribution--look into the "stamps" feature.

Ah geez...it's been like 15 years since I made this. One thing I would recommend is just exploring every texture and object folder in the editor, plop it down on your map and see how it looks. Some things are poorly named, so you won't be sure what they are until you see it yourself. Also, you can apply color variations to objects (trees) to add extra variety.

I think I alternated between two main ground textures in my forest areas, mixing them most of the time so neither stuck out too much. I think it was a dirt texture and pine needle texture. And also tons of root splats and erosion/edging splines. The editor has tools to tell you which I used where. I think actually, if you just use the basic selection tool, it'll tell you everything overlapping at any given point: object, texture, splat, spline.

I am trying to recreate the scenery of this map - but on a large scale. Do you have any suggestions on how you made the forest look so good?

My map is a very large forest without the trenches/capturables/man made stuff. Essentially a large, natural forest for my soldiers to move through.

One of the issues I am having is finding what ground texture you used for the forest floor... it seems to be a red-like colour.

Also, any tips you have for getting the water right - love the water lillies in the creek-like water.

Much thanks. Glad you're all enjoying it. Was my first COH map, so probably a lot I could have done better. But I guess perseverance and attention to detail still pays off.

This map has become one of my favorite 2p maps, thank you! :-)

@RedHawk7 it takes a lot of work. you start with the minimap image that worldbuilder generates and then build on top of it multiple layers for the border (if not square), vignette, building highlights, water highlights, forest diagonals, and possibly road highlights.

Heya how did you make your minimap?
