[Request sc2] Europe/north africa

[WOWWARS]

I need a Europe/north africa template to create a map based mostly on empires of the Crusades in Europe and the Holy lands or deserts.

its a more of a Medieval 2 Total war thing like unit groups come by turns (not spawns its like buying units but they spawn at the city when the turn is over.

Convert Legacy Map. Nuff said.

Ehh....

File -> Convert legacy Map...

Yes, it works with wc3 maps too, but not always you get in a nice way.

looks bad and shitty with no doodads and cliffs, only raised height

Its a start.

From those outlines, work on adding water.
Then add some elevations or cliffs as needed.
Then start adding details like rocks and stuff.
Finally mess with water surface and lighting.

Sometimes you get cliffs

Yes, I saw some maps they've made are: Plunder Isle, Booty Bay with Belshir tileset ofc, sounds familiar?

I myself tried Twisted Meadows but get this - the editor changes terrain height based on what height it sees in war3 map. So while it may preserve the cliffs and hills, it counts Trees as 'height' thus trees are converted to a hill. Not sure about SC1 since it didnt even use terrain deformations but war3 maps don't react the best way. But so like what? You take a war3 map open it, remove all doodads and things that may make the map wrong way, then import it in SC2 editor.
