Urban areas at "tank towns"

[Greebo]

A question before the wish - is there any reason that large urban areas, like those around strats now, couldn't be used at tank town areas?

Simple answer....yes there is. I tried this with my MA terrain, using sections of the city as GV clutter on spawn routes and in tank town. Unfortunately these tiles are tied into the strat system in a way that can't be got round so HTC made me get rid of them. MA terrain builders are not allowed to add custom shapes to their terrains either. So the only clutter you can use is the "tanktown" object that's used in at least one MA terrain now.

I would like to see HTC make a few custom groups of buildings for MA terrains. They could use existing building objects to create new villages, towns, factories, bridges etc. These would not have to have any strategic purpose, they could just be for visual effect and to give GVs something to fight in besides countryside.

Really?  That would suck.  I found one with no guns or anything, and am using it in my small AvA terrain that I submitted a few weeks ago (still waiting for Skuzzy's verdict).  I assigned the tile as a "barrier" so it cannot be destroyed.  Maybe the AvA/SEA arenas are that much different enough from the MA arenas.

Thanks Greebo

Well, until they get around to making more available for MA, like Greebo said, it looks like the Axis versus Allies terrains can give you a better tanking environment.    Nice work ImaDot. 

I still believe this to be a good wish, and I think that eventually we will get some upgrades in the MA.  Until then maybe we should petition the community terrain makers to include more of the "tank town" villages in their new works.
