About the game

A closer look.

The 1000x900 km Syria map covers most of the eastern Mediterranean, and it includes much of Syria, all of Cyprus and Lebanon, and portions of Israel, Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq. The cities of Damascus, Beirut, Nicosia, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Latakia, Tartus, Homs, Aleppo, Hama, Palmyra, Haifa, Acre, and Adana are all included. The map features an exceptional level of detail and allows the creation of missions from modern times to historical reenactments. Numerous campaigns are available, and it is a very popular multiplayer map. The map includes varied terrain that ranges from humid and fertile coastal areas, towering mountains, and vast deserts. A large portion of the eastern Mediterranean Sea is included to allow aircraft carrier operations. 69 airfields heliports populate the map and include the large, international airports of Damascus, Beirut, Tel Aviv and Larnaca. Many large military airbases like the US airbase at Incirlik, the UK airbase at Akrotiri, the Russian airbase at Khmeimim, and many Israeli airbases like Ramat David are recreated at an extraordinary level of detail. For fans of helicopters, the map reproduces the UN helicopter base at Nakura, the Syrian Taftanaz and Marj as Sultan airfields, and even the US helicopter base Harab-Ishq that is located at the Lafarge cement plant in Syria. Military infrastructure includes more than 100 military bases, training grounds, and checkpoints that have been meticulously reproduced. More than 200 world-famous landmarks and historical monuments cover the map. Among them are the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, the Temple of Baalshamin in Palmyra, the statue of the Virgin Mary and the Church of Peter and Paul in Lebanon, the Castle of St Hilarion and the Fortress of Mont Péléon in Cyprus.
