Hello everyone,
Just want to present you a Small Development Update this time. As you know the Commander Survival Kit Project will introduce Natural Disasters into the Game.
Last Year I have created an Volcano which was using two different 3D Models and fires Lava Bombs around it.
You can See the old Volcano here:

However I have fully rework the Volcano in its Appearence in the Game.
And this opens the Door to add new Features to it.
The Volcano itself is No longer an 3D Model.
He is now generated by Terrain Deformation.
Big Thanks goes to Balthazar for His Crater Mod
You can See here a few Screenshots:

Of course the Volcano will appear in different Variations depends on the Terraintype.
Volcano (Show/Ice Map Version):
Volcano (Desert Version):
And some more will be added soon.
What are the Features of the Volcano in General:
Lava Bombs:
Lava Projectiles which will be Shot Out of the Volcano Crater.
They cause devastating Damage to Units, but they Impact Location is Random around the Volcano.
The following two Features are controllable by the Player, which has created the Volcano.
Pyroclastic Flow:
Very hot Coulds created by Ash and Lava which moves down of an Volcano Flank,
They causes devastating Damage to Units and are able to Move on Water.
The Pyroclastic Flow is using an Movable Dummy Amphibious Unit
Lava Flow (Currently in Development):
The current Lava Flow is just an Placeholder Texture.
But the Final Version will Work similar Like an Pyroclastic Flow with an Dummy Unit. However instead of Moving on the Water they will be able to Move on Seabed for an short time,
The Lava Flow will cools down in Water and Create new Terrain (Islands), which you can use to build additional Bases.
The Volcano will appear in different Variations:
For example as an Shield Volcano, Strato Volcano and so on.
Does the Volcano Supports Save Games:
Yes the Terrain Deformation of the Volcano will be saved in Save Games as Well.
I will prepare an Demonstration Video soon, where you can See the Current Stage of the Volcano Ingame.
Stay tuned for more, because CSK Units will get the First Seraphim Units soon.
Best regards
