Yes I understand this and I wans't planning on going astray of the current pan..

Though the more I think about it, it might be more difficult to work up this idea in my head than I first thought.... I always start working with 2 countries and all looks good then I add that 3rd one and it screws up the entire idea LOL

You have my head hurting again HT literally...

But I would rather have my head hurting thinking about this system than from a hangover.

EDIT: Thinking about it more I guess the loops would work the best...

Ya know Slap if I reworked the lines a bit I bet we could have a couple friendly bases that would make the splitter base captuereable so if you want to keep it you would need to take 2 or more bases to hold on to it.

If HT wants fighting I think that would be one on a grand scale LOL
Though I wouldn't want to make it to hard to keep the base or I could see that base being a stalemate base.

As we have it now, the highest ranking player can command the the CV and attack were he wants. Of course anyone can take control of the CV until a higher ranking player wants it.

In the future, what about having the highest ranking player being able to plot an attack pattern on the land bases. When he logs, the attack plan can be changed by the next highest ranking player. It's worked for the CV's

Strategy on the fly.

Attack plans must match defense plans for what Hitech wants.

Good point.

But what if each country has an attack plan and must defend the other countries strategy?

I am not saying that this is a bad idea, but it will never fly.

Too many times, I have seen people bicker over where a CV should be going ... I can just imagine the mayhem that would ensue each time one controller gets trumped by a higher ranking controller.

For those with Ideas hear you go .

You should be able to right click and save this to your comp.

my idea flyd, dont know wether image will show but here goes,

coloured spiders= small zone,
Coloured large dot next to each spider='supply base/depot, has vh, maybe a grass airstrip for a cetain low end plane, (p40?) low end plane. bit like a port. NO DAR tho.

black circled base's= close enough to homlend for water couriered supps, so can be taken anytime.(perhaps maybe if city above 75% or sumthing??)

now in deatil of supply depot's, these would have to be captured to enable corresponding zone to be available for capture, BUT once this depot is captured, all bases in that zone are avialable.. get the idea i hope. the independent bases help make it easier to get foot on enemy 'home land'

CV's, these are base availability triggers, when within half a grid sqaure of a base, it becomes available, but owners do not know.

The navy blue line at rear of territory by HQ works similiarly to current method, its a trail, but there are a few starter bases here, and it can be started at each end.

hope u like it and if you dont, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always welcome, CONSTRUCTIVE.

The "Attack" tool that HT will be giving us to map these "Attack Lines" will just only do that ... it will allow you to design "Attack Lines" on an existing map.

While your ideas have merit ... you are also asking that the map be re-designed too (at least that is what I think I am reading) and Flayed1 nor anyone else can do that except HTC or the original map maker.

We could take all the ports off the link chain, that way CV's could attack other ports at any time.

HiTech

And/ or make the task group larger (two or three carriers) or allow the ports to launch two task groups. Steer them in a way to start carrier duels or sea battles.

I can only see this working on maps that would be specifically designed for this, or where ports are very close to each other.
