also what are those, well for want for a better word the glass bead looking things on the road south and west of the warp gate, I'm thinking those sand emplacement walls they have around bases.

These map designs look great, all the little hamlets and towers around the main bases is making me giddy, I think I need to go outside and scream my joy.

Its interesting how the "zomg future technology!" color shifts over time.

DONT FORGET THE IMPORTANCE (DELL) OF SAVING?

I can imagine saving for these guys is a nightmare!

Yea Canaris I was thinking the same thing - they look like temporary walls in place.

Holy crap! Imageshack keeps getting worse and worse as the years go on

Nice breakdown though - the bases appear to be MUCH more varied this time around - and huge!

Ive flattened the map out for a better look.

And some close ups.

The base in the Top left:

The CY pattern seems to resemble that of the AMP Station, the first base picture we got with all of the TR Mossies over the top

im not sure it does, the left side of the picture is more square than the right side, the map is perfectly symmetrical, but it looks like they both have that smaller CY out the back, and it could be an alternative base design.

That amp station has 9 battlements on its wall, the base on the map has 10.

why I said,

"Seems to Resemble"

Those bases are going to look so epic flying towards them at night, with everything all lit up.

Even more epic than they look in the day I mean.

Didn't they say at one point that all the bases were somewhat hand crafted?

From the looks of things, I'd say that the big structures are the only uniform part, one for each of the three base types. The layout of the walls and the rest of the little little buildings and structures in the courtyard and surrounding the base are probably customized for each location.

Speculation of course, but what we have seen tends to suggest it as well.

Having more diversity in bases will be a nice changes of pace.
