The Battle of Themopylae, Greece. This is WORK IN PROGRESS Read these wiki links for some detailed info on the area and conflict... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermopylae Had to find a DEM of Thermopylae area. Once i found one, i had to recreate how it looked back then. I used photoshop and the terrain editor to do this. Between then and now, the gulf of Malian has retreated almost 6 miles from where it was in 480bc due to deposition of sediment from the river and hot springs that emptied into the gulf. Spartans are my metaball spartans. Ships are lattices made in the terrain editor from a picture of ancient Persion ships. My atmosphere bubble surrounds it all with my lightning mesh stretching from the cloud base to the ground. Too much typing...:P Enjoy and thanks for looking. :)
