All I'm getting is hotmail login. You can't email the images to yourself and link the email :P

Make an account here and upload the images...

http://www.majhost.com/ (http://www.majhost.com/)

Click 'Add a Folder', fill in the boxes, click 'Create', then upload to your hearts content.

Make sure you click on the image twice, otherwise you get the http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=251982 type link, you cannot use with [img] [/img] tags

Instead of the the http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Elburro/Murgh/blowup.gif type link, you can use with [img] [/img] tags

So... [img]http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Elburro/Murgh/blowup.gif[/img]

Looks like

First of all post some bigger pictures... and at the moment I can already see the standart atmosphere setting with the default tile texture... You should really work on the design of it.

Be Careful with those high mountains. Maps with extreme heights can lag and may not even work. Try smoothing the angles out to make a more hill-like environment.

+1.

In general your "mountains" have to be smoother, lower (otherwise map becomes unplayable due to strange camera movement) and you should consider adding some rocks/nice textures to it so they look more like hills and not like some pimple in the environment.
Also, I recommend you not to use the grass_meadow grass type, try grass_yellow. If you don't know how to get that, read this: http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=705.0

It looks very WiP but I'm sure that the pictures are from the first work you have done.

Eh, shouldn't the VP be on a hill instead of being in between two?

I think you should add some more trees, bushes. Also you should probably smooth tge mountains a little more.

Ok , but tell me (this is for everybody) : the mountains (or hills) shall be scalable or simply stay as strategical defensive point?. Just say what you think .

If you make them defensive points, make sure you shotblock them.
