Below is shot showing the Balkans/Adriatic Sea map that I am working on. I've been following gepard's tutorials which have made things fairly easy to this point. I have all of the Italian cities placed, and all of the cities in southern Greece.
The purpose is to make a Southern front for NATO Fighters, with the Soviet/WP invasion of Greece and Italy through Yugoslavia. Finally some carrier ops in NF!
Anyway, I could use some advice on exactly how to proceed. Assuming I get all of my cities placed while remaining sane, what is the best way to tackle the following issues?
1. As you can see, this map is a nightmare of little islands and coastline that quickly transitions to relatively steep slopes and high elevations. How do I handle this?
2. I have not yet adjusted sea level. What exactly does this function do and exactly when in the process should I execute it?
3. Transition tiles have not been added yet, but when I test the function I get some strange results especially around the many coastal cities. Is there a way to tune the TE to perform this function better, or is it just going to require a lot of manual tile tuning after applying the transition tiles?
Thanks!
