A couple small points about the Pacific ambiance:
-
Maybe this is just the graphical setting I’m using, but the mountains in the background - which should be a lush jungle green - instead look brown, despite being covered in trees. Clearly, this is because rendering ground vegetation (which should cover the dirt floor) for the entire mountain range would be too resource-intensive, but maybe there are other solutions (such as using a different ground texture or a simpler ground vegetation shader? I think it would really make a difference in terms of the appearance and immersion, making it look less like a video game map of a jungle and more like an actual jungle.
-
Speaking of the jungle - there are parts of the maps (such as the Japanese starting point on the Guadalcanal Coast map) that feature really well-rendered jungle. How come none of the fighting takes place there? Seems an odd choice to create a pacific island campaign where all of the fighting takes place in villages, on rocky beach, or on open ground. Could some of the objectives be repositioned to accommodate jungle combat?
-
We need flammable vegetation.
Thanks for listening!
