Ever wanted to do some sick underwater missions or turn a flooded town into a naval battlefield? I’ve got you covered. Introducing levelution to Arma 3! Now any Zeus that subscribes to this composition on the Steam Workshop will be able to dynamically flood maps! Some things you can do are turn Stratis into the lost city of Atlantis, turn the Salt Flats into the Salt Lake, swallow up some Tanoan Islands, or even dry up the beaches on Malden! This Flood Map Module offers it all – and it’s available on the Steam Workshop as a zeus composition!

How to use:

1. Select the composition from the Zeus interface.
2. Place the module down anywhere.
3. Select desired values from the menu and click OK.
