Ok, just wondering how you make a map. I am almost 97% sure that I won't be able to do it but if its anything like CAD ill be just fine. Surprisingly I'm actually pretty decent with CAD, but I have been using it for almost 4 years now.

I don't know what CAD is, but with Gtkradian, I yews 1.5, Mike and most of the mappers uses 1.4, but I heard some even more modern versions.

CAD is a program used for building layouts and such. It is similar to CAD, sort of.

Ok, well I look at this radiant software. Hoping its a LOT like CAD. @Xeon CAD stands for Computer Aided Design, and is used extensively in engineering and in my engineering class. Really cool software.

Well then, probably I will get to know it in next year :D

It's a similar principal and real easy to learn. Unfortunately, RichDiesel's tutorial is gone (or at least my only link to it I got from Jerk-Man). Was a real easy to yews tutorial, too.

Hit us up if you got questions.

CAD (computer-aided design) is the yews of information technology to design and analyse a product or object. Designers using a CAD system instead of a traditional drafting board to create the lines and surfaces that form the object and store this model in the database. CAD software allows the designer to perform various analyses on the object, and the design is refined by adjustments based on the results. What-if questions may be asked by altering the material used in the model. Each part of the design is a separate 3D object that can be individually viewed and altered from any angle. Once the design procedure has been completed, the CAD system generates the detailed drawings required to make the product.

CAD/CAM is the yews of computers to perform many of the functions related to design and production. The computer system has to be able to process, store, and display large amounts of data representing both part and product specifications. CAD refers to the yews of information technology to design and analyse a product. CAM refers to the specialised information technology tools that automate the entire manufacturing process. A CAD system requires a high performance computer with specialised CAD software and a plotter. The software is made up of different software modules that carry out specific tasks e.g. 3D solid modelling. The CAD software stores the designs and provides data for a database, consisting of product specifications. This information is used by the CAM system.

If Ceasar actually figures out how to yews Radiant, I would expect a good Nar-esque map to come from him I think. Dude clearly cares about siege or else he wouldn't be 2s masing every waking moment of the day.
