New Map style

[Rob52240]

Instead of being on top of a flat world, I'd like to also be able to play around a cylinder (think Ms Pac Man).

Here's a rough sketch, each of the 3 colors represents 1 country, every country borders the other 2.

Like a 3-D circle graph? Like in ozkansas?

[Rob52240]

Sorta, more like the 2d we have now but make 2 sides of the square wrap around to each other.

[chaser]

Not sure I get this... All countries already border each of the other countries.

I think he's saying if you fly off the map instead of going into the twilight that now exists you just phase into the other side of the map...like pac man.

[Rob52240]

Exactly.  No hiding CVs on that map.

So instead of flying hundreds of miles and taking an hour to get across the map, you just up from a base on your edge, then fly off the map and magically appear on the other side of the map instead?  Yeah, that's not gamey...

You can already do this, you just have to fly 8 sectors to do it. Its VERY effective for supprise bomber raids, since the enemy doesn't expect you to appear behind their strats.

If the maps were designed with that in mind it wouldn't be.  On the current maps it would be.

[AKP]

Pfft... dont you know the world is flat!

Yeah it could easily work basically all that would have to be done is move the area where the strats are.

He is kidding right?

True, I've done this before, it's fun to do surprise missions like this, just pay attention to the compass....

Lol, I did it once, ended up too far south of my target, and then actually did trig to find the exact angle I need.

reading this thread is like going to a party, then realising after 20mins that your the only one there who hasnt dropped acid.

I'll get my coat
