Rotate bases randomly when map restarts
« on: September 30, 2011, 11:46:15 AM »
Would it be possible to change the direction the base is set on the map randomly?  We all know these maps have been played 853409682495892 times and most of the guys know exactly where to drive their gv to hit ords or orientation they need to set up their bomb runs on most of the bases.  Switching their orientation around randomly may make it a little interesting and also bring something new to the existing maps.

Doing the same with the towns will add slightly to this as well. :aok

OK in principle, but there are fields that would have people launching bombers into mountains instead of off over the water, etc. 
How about just multiple versions of the S, M and L fields - move the hangers and strats around, but keep the runways with the same orientation?

thats a different way to accomplish the same idea.  We have runways now that launch bombers into Mountains though.  Just trying to get some variation in the maps.

I think the tiles that each base are on are square, so you could theoretically rotate them 90 degrees, but once you figured out the orientation on each base the bombing lines are the same.  Having different layouts for each type of base and rotation might be the best way to get maximum randomization.
