You got it, except you can start capture in either chain since you already own some fields in both chains.

But if one country would capture the entire chain, need a way to get back to it. Hence the bridge.

btw was just a basic starting concept for you.

OK I think I get it now.

I just got done cut and pasting 4 screen shots of the clipboard map togeather so I would have something to work on

OK just started and got to wondering once a line go's into a one way say to a dead end do you want the dead end line to be all 1 way or should the defending country be able to take bases back up to the point where they were cut off?

Like in your example they can't capture A3 from A4 but should a base beyond A4 be able to get A4 back? Or should the attackers just be able to push one way with the only hope for that line being that the defenders take back A3?

Hope I'm not geting to complicated.

Your choice, I was just was giving you some basic ideas.

Either of you have any comment on the CV/Port suggestions in that thread? ie, the ports start a secondary chain, or at least a branch off one of them? Do you think that concept, or some variation, would work?

hitech · « **Reply #20 on:** December 01, 2006, 02:48:11 PM »

Not big on the idea hub: Problem is it can once again create to many fronts.

But something like all ports only have all CVs as there link could work.

Fair enough, was just trying to figure out how to make the CVs useful beyond just support along the coasts. I suppose their overall usefulness would depend on and vary with the maps currently up.

on your variation, you mean ports only let you capture the CV that belongs to it, which only lets you capture the next port, which only lets you get the next CV, etc?

TY HT work will continue

What about the idea of a CV being able to start a new "thread" at a coastal field when it is in range of that coastal field ?

At the speed of the CV group, I wouldn't think that it could open new fronts with any great speed, but does allow some sort of a stealthy end-around.

Just trying to think of a way to keep CVs involved. If the attack front goes inland (away from the coast) , then for all intents and purposes, the CVs are null and void.

Slap I'm thinking on this and wonder if it might be possible to keep more of a costal line going and an inland line, thus alowing the CV's to serve their purpose.

I think this new system may work out better in this regard.

hitech · « **Reply #25 on:** December 01, 2006, 03:26:53 PM »

Hub: was tring to describe that ports could only be captured by CVs, But how I was thinking of could not be implemented under the current design.

I.E. Never mind my thought.

I really appreciate you guys working on this in a way that lets us all see. Even though lots of things cant be done this way, it IS nice to get an idea of what that development process looks like.

~~and an extra ~~to Flayed and the many others who volunteer incredible time for the love of the game!~~~~

LOL for who me?? I'll most likely be sitting here all night scratching my head on this one

Already I have erased things a few times and started over.

I like the challange though.

That would be very cool ... CV groups are an integral part of this game (when available) and should not be left behind and neutered.
