What would you like to see in a new MA map?
« on: July 20, 2007, 02:57:18 PM »
I've started putting together a map for the MA and I thought I would try and gather what the community would like to see from a new MA map.

So, what would you like?

I know.  TT and FT.

1. Strats that actually SIGNIFICANTLY affect gameplay...  

2. Towns a greater distance from the field (To encourage people to watch the map)  

3. Some fields without radar

4.  No more bases built in soup bowls (Large hills covering half the runways)

TT in a layout comparable to the old one, perhaps with a way that would prevent campers from getting in close behind spawns. (Distant behind is ok by me). And a way to prevent planes from bombing in TT to include hangers. I would like to see 20 -30 Gv's in a battle, maybe a "Fulda Gap" style terrain.

Amen...I never had a problem with that strange map with the bases sometimes a sector away from the field.  It took some getting used to but it was fun.

Not a big fan of this idea.  In your #2 you want to encourage people to watch the map...with no radar, what would you be watching?

AMEN!!!!  These maps of late have been a real bore when you have to climb to 10K+ just to get to ANY base.

mountains & canyons to fight in, not just get over to get to the fight, but actually fight IN.

REAL LOCATION maps.  Yeah, Baltic Map has been played more in this game than "Stairway To Heaven" By Zeppelin has been played on the radio.

IE:

Britain/Ireland/Scotland
Russia-Poland to Stalingrad & Moscow
France/Belgium/Holland/Germany
North Africa
Pacific Islands
Italy/Sicily/Malta
Yugoslavia/Balkans/Greece
Russia/Hungary/Romania/Austria


And by COD, please don't get on here and go..."you can't have THREE countries playing...

JEEBUS!  You can have a map of Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana & Michigan and split it evenly between 3 sides.

Might be a hoot to rotate in maps of areas where WWII had no battlefields, just to keep things fresh.  "Whattya doin' honey"....."OH..the knights are defending Phoenix, ARIZONA...BIG ROOK dar-bar inbound.."

There USED to be an Africa map....I played on someones Russia map in H2H once.  Heck, I used to host H2H (after I had signed off MA for the night) and used a map of BARBADOS.

ANYTHING is possible as long as the original guidelines are followed for strats, field placements, and other regs.

The ONLY thing I ask is...

PLEASE don't go MOUNTAIN HAPPY like just about all the maps we play on are...it's like sombody on weed sat down and threw mountains in like they were planting rice from a cropduster!

I did post my idea on how HTC could get quality maps for next to nothing some months back, but I guess it went over like a buttnuggett in a punch bowl.

Good Luck!

We NEED new maps!

Used to providing input on a 2 sided war in scenarios.  Some of these ideas might push the MA envelope.

3 Large Landmasses on the outside of the map with many islands mixing up the middle.  Road connections for vehicles, with destructable bridges (See Karelia)
Perhaps place Tsunami (See Japan) at the map edges to prevent off map shortcuts.

Push the Heavy Bombers to the large land masses, keep them off the smaller islands, and make the islands more difficult to capture by the Time involved to get the heavies there.  Eliminates the quick desire for pork and auger flights.  Requires a bit of strategy and team work to organize a base capture mission.  

Have select, scattered bases with the more Uber Planes stationed there, so if the bases are shut down, the uber planes are out for a while, and cause people to Defend the desired planeset.
