I think the only thing to do is request the Cimerora maps be added. Others want them, so maybe they'll be added in I15. (Which gives you more time to polish your dialogue!)

There are several mixed forest/field maps, as well as a few Croatoa maps which might serve your purpose.

Thanks Ironik and Hercules. I played around with the idea of using a Croatoa map, but the whole look is more mystical than historical.
Hmmm....may take a second look at it though.

I feel your pain. I reeeally want some outdoor Cimerora maps for an "old European village" thing. I ended up having to settle on a Cimeroran cave; at least the abandoned architecture hinted at that feel. Nowhere near what I wanted, but as close as I could get for now.

what about the map in uais arc that has all the werewolves in it? that on has forests and water and would suffce for a staging ground.
I used a... Mercy Island, I think? map for the last mission of "Ashley Porter and the Gorilla War," though I don't think it's called that. Relatively small map, features a dock area, I think it's used for one of the early "Snake" missions in CoV?
Anyway, that map actually has a pretty good rundown Mitteleuropa feel to it. I was surprised how plausible it felt as a rundown Uzbek harbor town on the Aral Sea circa 1941 (if you overlook the Arachnos recruiting posters, anyway.)
Two of the Nerva Archipelago maps do fairly well as outdoor maps with no city walls, especially the thorn tree island map.

Are some of the outdoor maps unlockable? I've consulted Paragon Wiki and seen that there are a lot of nice outdoor maps, but in-game, I just can't find them (City02 being the one I really want for one of my arcs).
Please try my arcs:
Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)
As I mentioned in another thread, I was looking for a jungle map. I believe I've unlocked all the cave maps and arachnos lair maps, but can't find what I need. I was thinking, even a Perez Park map that had no visible walls would do. In fact, it would be a nice change of pace!
I began a story arc yesterday in which Rikti operatives, mesmerists and guards, were sent back into time to disrupt Earth's historical time-line. Their goals are to delay the development of modern civilization and technology, and the rise of genetically altered humanity, or super-humans.
The first mission involves the mesmerist mind-controlling the ancient Gauls and launching a massive invasion of Cimerora. The goal of the heroes is to defeat the mesmerist and all the Gauls. The Gauls are, of course, a custom group composed mainly of shield scrappers with broadswords.
The problem I have is with the MAPS available. I wanted an outdoor map of Cimerora, or at the very least, a mixed forest and field map which could serve as the staging area for the invasion. Evidently, there are no Cimerora maps, nor are their many outdoor maps that do not have the modern city wall with its electronic force fields visible.
I used a map of a Cimerora cave for the first mission which serves well, but I don't want the entire story arc to be confined to caves. Any suggestions?
By the way, the story arc is entitled "Otherworld: Gallic Might" and the arc ID number is 140693 and is a level 35-54 mission for those who might be interested in killing something other than Rikti comm officers.
