Hello forum.
I've used elevation map data before. It's very handy but sometimes far too detailed. I need specific sized map areas for custom multiplayer scenarios.
In the official German Campaign there is the WW2 scenario - Lightning Warfare. This somewhat gave me inspiration for creating a multiplayer WW1 scenario for instance with: the British, the French, the Germans, and Neutral Powers. The custom map would need some of: England, France, Germany. It would be nice to have as little of neighbouring neutral powers as possible.
One website I found - www.ncei.noaa.gov/maps/grid-extract/ - I am not sure what setting to select. Please bare in mind I do not want them too highly detailed if possible, just enough of a nation outline to clearly represent the nation in game. As sometimes these elevation data maps are too detailed with precision.
Some website I once uncovered claimed to have generated a map from a photo image file. I think the person had drawn the map in some image editing software and imported that data into the game. I am unaware of this process, but it sounds very interesting indeed.
I'm not an expert with the scenario editor but I have used it to create custom multiplayer scenarios before. So there quality only goes so far, but it's having fun what truly matters.
Some multiplayer scenario ideas:
Europe, WW1: British (human), French (human), Germans human), Neutral Powers (computer).
British Isles, Middle Ages: England (human), Scotland (human), Wales (human), Ireland (computer).
Saxons, Vikings, Normans (alternative history): Saxons (human), Vikings (human), Normans (human).
