New Idea (Maybe)
« on: January 13, 2014, 10:49:17 AM »
 :airplane: I know that a lot of idea's have been posted in the "wish" list and this may not be new, but it is something which I don't think would be a lot of trouble to include in the various arena maps that are in use now.
On one of the maps, can't recall the name, there is an island in the middle of the map, with 3 air fields and a huge tank "farm", or it might be a V base, right in the middle of the island. It usually has clouds close by and is a very interesting game setup.
We have all been there, done that thing in this game and after hundreds, if not thousands of times of doing the same thing over and over, I can understand why some people just get "burned" out and leave. Not saying this idea would prevent people from leaving, but, anything new to do is going to prolong ones life in Aces High.
My brother has a grandson, which I have been working with in the off line arena thing, he is 11 years old. Already, his one wish is to join the game and be a player! His main interest is GV's, so I have taught him how to spawn in, steer and shoot his cannon and machine guns, but after that I am lost. So I know the "GV" thing in this game is a very important attractiveness to young people and they are the future of Aces High.
I would like to see that complex, on that island I am refereeing to, placed in play on all the maps. If we had one of those in each country, it could change the whole atmosphere of attacking countries by placing a high value on capturing that facility and would encourage all kinds of fights, both on the ground and in the air. Have at least 2 or 3 bases by which you could spawn into an area of attack from the ground and the value of capturing those bases would triple in importance to strategy of the game. It would be important if possible to have one close to an area of water, then the Southwest Pacific area of operations could be included into the game by people who like to do re-enactment missions as I do.
Any thoughts and suggestions on this guys?

those features are built into the terrains by whoever makes the maps...the maps would have to be re-worked in order to incorporate them...and not all maps are conducive to having them included.

I have a new idea for you:

Paragraphs!

Seriously, they will help people to read your posts (which do deserve to be read, for the most part).

I couldn't even bring myself to read the original post, so I can't really make a contribution to the actual topic.

I have tired eyes this morning from too much time staring at a screen and too little sleep, and that wall of text is simply incomprehensible without straining my poor peepers further.

Hence my suggestion about using paragraphs.

Earl is talking about tank/fighter town on ND Isles map.  He would like a similar set up on other maps.  I like the TT/FT setup on Ozkansas, but would like to see the air bases and 1 vehicle base per team to be uncapturable.
