Map Description:
'The Grasslands of Sumatra are one of many striking features to
be found on the largest Island in Indonesia. They Cover vast tracts
of land and provide the perfect topography for farmland. Numerous
farming communities dot the area and the abundance of pineapple
groves provides an additional economy.
Reports of rebel gun running in the area have prompted the Joint Ops
Task Group to take action. Warehouses in one of the villages are
being used to harbour caches of weapons and are soon to make their
way into the hands of local militia.
The large open areas provide little cover but for the pineapple groves
which can conceal both enemy snipers and armour equally well.
The space does however allow rapid vehicular tactics.
Fast hit and run attacks could prove decicive in the coming battle,
while good use of air support could swing the balance totally.'
I hope peeps enjoy this, it took me A LOT of time to create properly, and a huge amount of thought went into it both with aesthetics and gamplay, its a very fast hit and run vehicle map with plenty of space. However as the final LFP's come into engagement range intense firefights will occur as the spawn points have been moved closer to them. The map needs a long play time to allow the day cycle to give a new aspect of play.
This has no Escalation stuff in it, I will be releasing a version with that soon.

yup, the spawn points are definitely right by the last LFP's, would be difficult to take, maybe too difficult... besides that the map is great. and the files you provided are nothing but professional looking =). makes it all much more worth while. i must warn you, be careful updating your NILE or game... i couldnt see the items in NILE when i went in to do a number count, but noticed you used some wall planters. when you update these will be lost (nova bug), i lost mine in one of my maps. also, your vehicles might dissapear (happened to me also). this would be even greater with JO:E items. well done, this would make for some great game play.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated and will look into the things mentioned. With regards to the wall planters, I already solved that problem and used two wall corners instead. and the loadscreen, I shall try that out thank you.
