What about building like village type thing one might run across the local community while blowing each other up.

Oh okay kinda like allot of the fighting thats going on in the middle east right now?  Where they are fighting in and around villages?  

Yea i think if we can get one or two urban area would be good.

Okay so aside from it being a weird awkward photo i was thinking something like this?  Models of an urban area or ruins that units can pass through?   

If your confused the green is grass and the brown are  "buildings"    Im a fan of asymmetrical/symmetrical (is that a thing?   Ill make it a thing.)  design so probably two "different" urban areas on both sides of the map

It looks like a good start however we want some open area as well for large scale battles.  I would say we want the urban area to be a lot smaller then the open battlefield.  Off of what I have seen I was thinking about 40 miles square area?

Ya of course.  let me pull something together real fast.  

Okay so on this 1v1 map  Heres an example.  Those buildings would be roughly two possibly three times the size of the tank right?  And the roads would be big enough to accomidate for movement/battle.  Is this what we are thinking?  

Another example we could do

This route would be an interesting idea as well.  

Sorry dont mean to bombard the forum but if we are going to do that then we might as well throw some low poly vehicles in there as well?

Yes I agree i like the one below.

Okay we will go with that.  For the houses im going to go low low poly.


heres an example of my solution.  Its going to be low poly.  These will not be final assets as they are going to be used in the prototype but I will make sure they are textured and identifiable.  If you agree ill go foward with this

Looks good enough for prototyping.

Okay at this time I will have a tree model and a house model I will start production on.  Ill post results and progress here?  I originally planed on just keeping everything to myself until it was finished would you like me to do that?  Or just log some screenshots here to keep you updated?  

No lets get agenda for each of them so we can keep track of how long it takes etc.

So you need one tree and one house agenda right?

Yes ive already started work on the tree and all that needs to be done with that is to be created.  I dont think its necessary to create a whole bunch of individual ones for now but we could scale/alter one model to create variation.  

This house will be simple as well and Im thinking three maybe four variations will do just fine as well.

It is vital to the terrain we get rocks and grass in there as well or the whole thing will just fall flat.  However do you think its necessary for the prototype?  Unless its for a tech reason i dont think so.  Im not to much worried about aesthetics though i can understand If we need to test the engines capability we may want to add them  in.  

For now i say one tree with three variations   and 1-3 maybe 4 houses.  All low poly.  

Yes lets use one agenda for all of these including the rocks.  We want to put just a random kind of map together to test path finding etc.

Here is the agenda for those items.
