Construction in Progress

The current map under construction is for St. Leger, which is actually in southern Missouri. The map is still in the early stages at the height.tga file. This file is not visible, but will be inside the file that will eventually be called WIA_St_Leger.lsl.  The height.tga is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, so what appears on the eastern side will actually be on the northern end of the finished map.  Light areas are high and dark areas are low, so you can see some fairly steep hills leading to a very low (dark) area, which will eventually have some swamps and the North Fork River.

The height.tga for St. Leger still has to be blended and blurred a little so that the hills are smooth and don't look like Aztec pyramids, but before the roads, water, trees, grass and houses, this is how the topography starts....

Movement between Lead Hill, Rapp's Barren and Bennett's Bayou through St. Leger, will be through the hilly portion of the map. It will be heavily (very heavily) wooded, so it will be challenging terrain. Any movement in the current campaign theatre will be on the west side of the river, so it will not be necessary to cross the North Fork here in THE OZARKS CAMPAIGN. The crossing point will be presumed to be further south and not defendable in the simulation.
