Hey guys, first update on th overview terrain and its a multiple choice quiz!  I have various versions of the terrain texture with subtle differences.  I have found out using unity terrain will be a bad idea as the terrain calls something like 150 draw calls!  so i instead made a mesh terrain with a single 2048 color texture.  Problem here is we need to eithe find a cheap unity extension to place trees and grass (to which I found a few on the asset store) or we place everything by hand!  The terrain will more than likely need to be reduced in poly count by an artist. Depending on how zoomed in the player is on this map we might be able to just cut this giant map into tiles and take advantage of frustum culling rather than reducing tri count by hand.
