Here is the current situation: Current progress based on rough estimates (updated May 27th): - Main terrain (grass, hills, mountains, water): 90% completed. - Main foliage (trees, bushes, grass, seaweed): 40% completed. [Further progress pending 3DS plugin] - Castle (balcony, ramparts, courtyard, interior): 70% completed. - Shorelines (waves, underwater, rocks): 80% completed. - Ore mines (developed as re-usable map asset): 100% completed. - Base detail (crates, barrels, containers): 20% completed. [Further progress partially pending 3DS plugin] - Core game mechanics (buildings, C&C Mode): 100% completed. - Siege mechanics (Cannons, alternate objective): 50% completed. - Miscellaneous LE tasks (music, map script zones): 50% completed. - Environmental audio pass (water, wind): 100% completed. - VIS (aids): 0.00000% The ore mine is done, and designed for optional re-use in maps via proxy placement (it's basically a building). Once Siege is completed, people can use it if they wish. It took more time to finish the mine than I anticipated since I had to make sure there were no light solve oddities. Edit: Erf, since I got nothing better to show, here is said mine: Some of the smaller details are hard to spot from these camera angles, such as electrical wiring.

Favorite? Oh man... It's a tie between RidgeWar and Keep Off The Grass. In addition to how beautiful these maps are, they're also quite unpredictable. Every match is different, even if people have caught on to certain strategies (i.e., blizting the Allied Power Plant on KOTG), it just makes countering those easier and opening new avenues. Least favorite is PacificThreat. Every match, it seems, ends with the Allied leading a naval assault. Haven't seen a submarine here in a long time. It's just dull. Removing land vehicles has taken out a major element of this map, honestly. EDIT: Retracting this statement entirely as I just played a match with a Soviet victory. I still don't like the map, but eh. Sorry if that offends anyone. I almost put CI for both, funny enough. I like the map, but after some recent experiences, I harbor a special hatred for it.

Ridge War is a solid all-around map. I don't really have a true favorite however, there is a bunch I like, and a few I like less. As for flares, Siege will have a flare deploy rule (script zone); You can only place flares on "normal terrain", meaning if you're standing with your feet on a mesh that is part of a building, the game will tell you "NOPE!". Which means flares have to be put in the open or near other terrain cover. If this proves to be successful, perhaps we can see it become a rule across all APB levels. I went this route instead of only blocking roof flares, since flares not being place-able on buildings altogether is much more straight forward for players to understand. (Edit May 29th: Siege will not feature Missile Silos any longer, following testing feedback.)

Edit: Finished up an "APB Cut" edition of Crush Remix for Siege. I've removed the speaking segments and seamlessly transitioned te remaining parts of the track into a single one. You won't even notice it has been cut up when you listen to it.

As far as a good antivirus, User awareness is the most reliable. (No that isn't a real antivirus name, I mean use safe internet practices. In other words, be an educated user.) If you use Windows 8, 8.1, or 10, I recommend not installing an additional one because Windows Defender is built in and does a decent job. It is not the best, but all of them have issues. Most of the time, either they suck at doing their job or they make your computer suck in the process of doing their job.
