[WIP] Iraq Map
#1

Here's a download link for a new map of part of Iraq. The idea for the map came from Cracken and the populating was done by Riptide.

The idea was to have a map for the events surrounding the failed Axis coup of 1941. But for a 1/1 scale map of Iraq the area was simply far too large. So this is for the southern part of the country, where a British-Indian force concentrated efforts around the city of Basra. We provided a number of airfields that are in excess of historical airfields. Normally there should have been one airfield in Basra, but one is a bit sparse for a map of this size and besides, in a flat desert country almost any road can double as a runway if need be.

We've also provided a number of oilfields, located as far as we could tell in more or less correct locations for the WWII years.

There are 2 actors files for this map. Instructions are included on how to change these. The main actors is a whopping 7.5 mb in size. This may be surprising because outside of the immediate vicinity of Basra, there is little to see in the way of objects, certainly not in any concentration. But deserts are huge and swallow things up. And to give some color contrast to the landscape, we decided to try lining the banks of the main rivers, Tigris and Euphrates, with random palm trees. The results look nice and don't interfere with frames rates either.

However for those with less powerful setups, we also provided an actors file without these palm trees along the river banks, size of 4 mb. Installation instructions are included and easy to do. It just involves editing one line in the load.ini file.
