Map Reset Characteristics

Greetings,

  I know I am about to get flamed, but hey, here goes.  I liked the concept of the thread maps.  (one base leads to another that can be taken).  With one comment.

  I think the threads should not lead from one base to another, but some bases should lead to 2, 3 or 4 other bases.  Create a grand tactical (or operational) reason to attack a given base verses blindly following a single thread.

  In addition, each map could have 2 - 5 thread designs that would change the operational requirements to 'take' a map.  In effect you could get 2-5 different campaigns while using the same terrain map.

Regards,

I actually like the new parameters, but I will agree that your average AHer has the mental faculties of a small rodent. However, I don't think dumbing it down any, or returning to the previous setup, will help at all. The only way you'll change the players' tendencies, is to offer a path of even less resistance, and I'm not sure that's a good idea, to be honest.

If we had ALL "great" maps ... then I would not have changed my mind, but since that is not the case, we need something that will generate map resets/changes more often than what we have now.


its gona take a few more months(years?) for people to learn new ways....

they changed the map so the fights could be more equal and more far.

All new maps have to be bulit o this fairness same amount of bases same sort of spacing ect ect.

all ads up to a boring map


i dunno, trying to take the West country was fun, doing noe raids across the water to take 28 (i think?) was a laugh, stealing there cv etc... ive seen them reset a few times (mostly when it was my country....lol).

id like for it to come back, but i think it was poor on gv wars.

IMO a successful HQ raid should reset the map.

hq would need to be changed... but i kinda agree...... strat targets need more importance, then fighters will wana attack buffs more often.

right now people only attack buffs because they get kills, but alot of the time u see buffs flying towards totally undefended strat targets... and these strat targets could easly be defended but to be honest, whats the point?

if the HQ was larger, ie maybe a city tile next to it sort of size, and u carpet bombed the whole lot to 0% then.... war won? that would kinda work well

I used to feel the same way, but actually I like when Nits end up being the southern "Gang Me!" country.

Suffering from the attractíon of the great A1-A19 furball, it will invariably pushed back to the uncapturable base in the east by the NE country. And that means tons of fun flying the 163 :aok

Having been on the receiving end of one of Ghi's masterplans..........gotta say I prefer the new way...lol........was intense fun, fights everywhere you looked, bases capped, vulched, deacked etc............got my backside handed to me a load of times, got a few kills, most importantly, had a vast amount of fun (even if I was sweating heavily.....got a bit into it....)
