Just some screenshots from testing these maps

I just have an idea: how about you add a "civilian" unit to Nuke City terrain? I noticed that TFTD zombie fits very good with the palette of this terrain. You could have a custom variant of the TFTD zombie, maybe with another clothing, to wander around Nuked lands.

Already one (half) made for this purpose, check for ASH Zombie in the Units section, i have not settled on final colours yet and there is a version somewhere where it doesn't turn back into Chryssalid ( but i will need to check where i saved V3), its was going to be a Traditional Zombie that makes more Zombies

This looks amazing Luke, I've never seen better looking maps in any other mod. Also really apreciate you're taking inspiration from piratez, since thats my favorite mod around.
Really looking forward to this or whatever it ends up becoming.

That's why a man loves his game) you are a super Creator thank you for what you have ))

Thanks predator1286  & Dakkdakk for the kind words, i do my best

Below is something else i am working on, a floating City, Building ontop of Nords Floating Base MCD set ( well i am tweaking it some to suit my tastes), still at the concept stages at the moment ( so just making sure the colours all work together and i can actually move around the map).

Looks awesome, mate. Very different to the rest of the OXC maps. I wonder what evil villainous would live in this floating landscape. Or I should say... skyscape

This one is a Floating on water, my Floating in the sky map set i have not started building yet ( The Flying base will be a massive UFO construction)

Very different to the rest of the OXC maps.

Its hard work trying to come up with new concepts, this time around i re-imagining Nords work ( and sprite set) to suit my needs, i figured Since i added the water texture to the world map, we may as well create a new Alien city as well

I think I'll give a different use for that sea map...

Naval battles!

I like how the organic city fits with the color of this terrain.

[luke83]

when i started i was thinking of just using it for a alien city, now i am debating ( assuming everything goes well during testing) of using it as another terrain feature  on the geoscape, i would need to add another colour to my textures and create New island of this floating around the sea....CUrrent problem is getting the ufo and skyranger to generate on the correct level of the mapblocks. NExt problem would be  how badly the AI handle the destructible terrain and the Holes

Robin's ufo organic tilesets could be usefull into these terrain

[luke83]

Yes they are some truely beautiful ufos in his mod, i may check it out if i need some more art assets but currently i am trying to avoid stealing his work at this stage just in case i want to bring them in as another faction later on.  RIght now i am unsure what else i will add to this map,  i need to expand the plant life but i need something new...waiting for some inspiration.

Talking about your beautiful Organic City... I think you should move the mushrooms from Ruined terrain to Organic. In my opinion, fits with the maps.

I tried to make destructible terrain for The Great War of the Worlds, but it seems that AI is very dumb, it gets stuck in holes and trenches. If you are going to add some holes, make them bigger and easy to climb, so the AI could get out without further problem.

Please, make this terrain the kingdom of the Gillmen!

Yes, this was meant to be the Gillman Kindom

I made a new grass/vine last night for this map to start adding some colours and was thinking about some tall mushrooms, i could bring the small one over too, will see how it looks.

Yes i am a little worried about the destructible terrain but i think i have a working solution for it will have it tested over the weekend, should be a blast to test, get it, blast
