Hello, ive looked at all the articles on here and did not see one on how to create a 3D map (like Age of Mythology and Praetorians). I dont even know where to start. All help is highly appreciated. Thanks! Yes, I do know DirectX, so im not starting from sratch. Zach

Hi,

I don't think that the approach in AoM is based upon the common isometric view. I think (and I'm sure for 99.999%) that it's real 3D done with a height map.

So, if you want to start, try to google for heightmap and terrain generation. Also have a look at Virtual Terrain.

Kind regards,
Metron
