Stormhaven Island

I am going to begin with Stormhaven island. It is a bit of an anomaly as it does not touch the rest of the land. I might make it removable but that really depends upon how I decide to do the ocean and any possible waves/breakers. At this time I have no information on the heights of military buildings or walls so I am going to have to guess based on previous knowledge. To start, the base is defined by a line around it on the map. This is important to me as it defines the first level of elevation. There are several sections of the map that have beaches defined and I am going to bring them from elevation 0 to elevation 1/8" to meet the shore. Any other initial elevation lines will be treated as 1/8" or about 6' in height. So, I cut out the base of the terrain from 1/8" chip board. The remaining elevations on the map seem to equate to about 25' or 1/2" of elevation on the map. This is what I am going to use for the sea wall. If it looks good I will continue.
