Might go some way to explain it.
There is no explanation other than that the designer has overlooked it, or not thought of it due to inexperience. Holland is about the flattest pancake on earth and even there you can't do without some elevation differences. My criticism is not so much towards the maker but more to the testers who failed to notice.

Actaully i think it does as when I first saw the scn in mid january I commented to Eric.
Quote:First thoughts good looking large map nice forests and features but it is a bit flat, is the area you are portraying that flat all over. ?
to which he replyed
Quote: Terry; Its Beloruss & the topographical maps I looked at from Map Maker the the Sats maps didnt really show allot of elavation, just woods(even today).
I looked at the topgapgical maps to and that area show a diffence in hight of under 10 meters
III. The region of plains and bottomlands of Predpolesje occupies an intermediate position between the hills of the centre and the bottom land of Polesje. General height is 160-190 m and the relief is made up of typical river valleys.
but this is where the game is set
IV. The regions of the Polesje bottomlands occupy the southern lower part of Belarus with
flattest plain, waterlogged relief and sandy peat soils.

So flat they give no hight diffence at all....and yes you are being rude...to eric and to the testers.
