Extra maps you might need There aren't many of these because scenario writers are conscious of the aggravation a rare map can cause - but every so often someone gets an idea too cool to pass up, like Nimo's Volcano map. <strong>Download</strong> the following files and you'll be ready for almost anything. UPDATE: To make this super-easy, I've uploaded four .zip files that contain every extra height map I'm aware of. They're called AllTheMaps1, AllTheMaps2, AllTheMaps3 and AllTheMaps4, and they're available at the link below. <strong>Download</strong>, unzip, and put all the .raw files into your Maps\height directory. These should definitely cover you; this is all the maps I have, and I haven't been caught out in many months. To your <strong>Steel</strong> <strong>Beasts</strong>\Maps\height directory: All The Maps! If you're after a specific map, the breakdown is like this: AllTheMaps1 contains (hgt)hobbs2048[rolling], (hgt)magpierange2048[hills], (hgt)skeetlow1024[valley], FtIrwin, Irwin and jimi. AllTheMaps2 contains (hgt)westpoint2048[plainswithrises], (hgt)yullasridge2048[ridges], ambush at woods edge, hmap and riverlands. AllTheMaps3 contains AS_AstorPass, city, Commonwealth, Cumb, FtPolk and Vietnam. AllTheMaps4 contains (hgt)meride4096[vbumpy] and volcano. To your <strong>Steel</strong> <strong>Beasts</strong>\Maps\terrain directory: Note: the first three links are broken; I'm looking into it. Sorry. ● Chaffee ● Desert ● Spirit Dance ● ...and here are two more terrain maps that can't be accessed directly - Metropolis and Objective Savage. A battlespace in <strong>Steel</strong> <strong>Beasts</strong> has three essential components - the height map which contains the topographical information, the terrain map which determines where the trees, water, bushes, dirt and mud are, and the scenario file which controls what units are present, the scoring and events. To use a scenario, you have to make sure you have the appropriate height map and terrain map; if you don't, bug the scenario author and find out where those maps are - then let me know so I can add them to this resource.
