whelp...not sure bout this one.......but i think that possibly a map on which you need to destroy some or all of the actual base to capture it......maybe hangars down, etc.....but do the baase rather than the town.......none of these 10k high ridges that ya have to fly over to get to the fight, or if in a buff, then to et to target.  maybe a couple of ports per side, but not as many islands as we seem to already have/?

<<> Solar..

Any new map will be welcome...

I have to say I agree with the mountains being so high (all over the map).

TY for taking the time to do this for us all:aok

A terrain where...

People don't complain that..

the bases are too far apart.
the bases are too close together.
the mountains are too high.
the mountains are too low.
the spawns are too close.
the spawns are too far away.
there are not enough cv's.
there are too many cv's.
there are too many gv bases.
there are not enough gv bases.

One where people just don't complain and appreciate the fact that there is a new map to fly on.

Make that and you've made the ideal terrain for everyone. :)

Don't know if it's possible, but winter would be a change from having
summer all the time.

I know. TT and FT.


As I understand it..... MA maps can not have a FT on them.
Check the the terrain makers forums for the do's and don'ts.

One of the big do nots is a MA map with a "fightertown"

Thats a silly rule


If we cant have FT, then TT should be removed also

Cav, I've pretty much scoured the Terrain Forum over the last few weeks for information about constructing terrains, but haven't seen anything that indicated that a FT was a no no.  

Can you point me to a post?

Thanks!

No FT's. TT's are fine.

Okay, since it seems no FT but yes to TT.

Center of map.
Large bowl valley.  Spawn points for vehicles up hill and can race downhill in neutral to get in faster (not too steep or too far, as getting back out becomes a problem to land your kills, and no real high ground for "snipers").  Town and tiles with the small villages scattered about.  Some areas of dense trees.  Rolling hills and wide plains, but not so much in the way of big mountains.... except between sides.... have ridge lines separating high ground between VB's and Fields.  Maybe some canyons to fly through.  Not too great an elevation change though.  Maybe a meandering river and bridges, they are in terrain for use now or not?  Barn tiles.  

A little further out, two small to medium airbases per side.  Even a slightly higher elevation (maybe 2K), to lend air support to FT.  Keep towns at these bases (center island) high and away from shore to make landings hard to pull off from CV's. Spawn points from VB's to threaten the surrounding Fields (up in ridges for example).  Possibly locate towns between airfields and vehicle bases (not sure limitations on distance with them) and VB spawn toward town as well as toward valley.  

This all on one central island, surrounded by sea.


Outer ring of large islands.  Multiple fields and VB's per island, with more water surrounding them on the outside border of the map.  Taking an island completely becomes a task, not a smash and grab.  Wide passages between islands.  Lot's of GV spawn points.  More medium and large fields than small fields.  Each front roughly 2 to 3 bases wide (not counting center island).... hard for sneaks and end arounds.  

"Landgrabbers" and Blue Water types fight along outside ring.  Furballers gravitate to center island.

Rolling hills and plains.  Fewer big mountain ranges.  A few canyons.  1 high (6K) rear field for each country near HQ for 163's and launching big buff raids from.  Multiple GV spawn points.  Rivers and bridges if tiles available at a few places, just to try out the choke point in game.

lol.  Got it.  Should be easy.   ;)


Thanks so much for your input.  NHawk has summed it up.  Can't have everything for everyone but I will try to get a new map together.
