    Wip Something New: CBT Planetary Map

    Hi Folks!

    I've been trying to get into Classic Battle Tech with a friend of mine and out of interest I created a Planetary Tactical Map (still in work), for some kind of small-scale campaign with only the barest basics of rules.

    So, without further ado, here my try on the planetary TacMap

    So far so good. I would suggest toning down the greens to something more ochre or olive as they're kind of bright and gem-like but otherwise solid.

    Nice map. Interesting take on using only a slice of the world and having the star in the background.

    I have to agree about too much green. That sort of thing is usually corrected pretty easily. I think if the text were a white or light blue color, it would not be such a green overload.

    Overall, I would say you are on the right track.

    Big Update.

    Less green, more textures, darker clouds, cloud shadows, dark-side of the planet, city lights (inspired by nolgroth, thx!) and more.

    What do you think now?
