[stonewall072]

Prerequisites and Pre-Issue Checklist

• I'm reporting the RFE to the correct repository:

• MegaMek

• Does this conform with our Content Policy linked above?

• I've searched the GitHub tracker and haven't found a similar feature request listed

RFE Details *

This is an improvement to an existing feature

Brief Description *

The following terrains and terrain modifications still need implementation in MegaMek:

Items marked with (A) need art

TacOps AR:

• Gravel Piles (A)
• Half Levels
• Bug Storms (A)
• Water Flow
• Extreme Depths
• Hazardous Liquid Pools (A) (Added 0.54.0)

Final Checklist

• I've checked to make sure that this RFE has not already been filed
• I am requesting implementation of only one relevant set of features in this ticket for clarity and focus

The Improved Fieldworks from Battle of Tukayyid are a slight, weirdly directional, variation on our existing improved infantry positions, I believe, although it's been a while since I've looked at them.

Yeah, it certainly looks that way, says it uses the same rules as fieldworks but only if attacks come through the marked hex side.

Which also reminds me to add the actual weird pseudo-building "improved positions" to the list.

[HammerGS]

I can confirm Steep Cliffs (I think this is just Sheer Cliffs from TO:AR with a different name) is Sheer Cliffs with a tweak. We can use what we have.

Hey Artists! I'd like to implement the following terrains first, if you can prioritize getting this art that'd be wonderful:

Highest Priority:

• Crystals
• Hazardous Liquid Pools

Other Priorities:

• Ultra Sublevels
• Hard Packed Gravel
• Unstable Terrain

Thanks,
Psi

Here is some art for an improved position.

Crystals.zip

Crystal terrain. @psikomonkie the diamond, ruby, and emerald turned out the best. I would recommend using the diamond as the default, followed by ruby/emerald, then the others.

Toxic_Water.zip

Some art for hazardous liquid pools.

[Morkath]

toxic_water2.zip


Oh and some full hex versions if you want them.

[Morkath]

@stonewall072 @psikomonkie I don't think we need specific art for unstable, looking at the circle of equals map it should just be a modifier that can be applied on any rubble, and puts "Unstable" text on the hex like CGL did on CoE.

Hardpacked Gravel

[stonewall072]

Gravel Pile. Future enhancement if and when the terrain modification is implemented would be utilizing the pattern with something similar to water hexes to create more "flowing" edges to the piles.
