I personally would like to see the AvA room have early to mid war maps with its historical plane set. Most days that I look into AvA it has a tank map up for Thursday tank fights, to whatever night that's on (and that's fine, I have gone to them they are fun) but when they are done you need to put up some type of historic room.
Personally I would say that the AvA should be on the BoB map until player numbers get better. I know that more than one person (myself included) has said that " I would go to Ava if it was ever populated" I think the BoB map is the most liked, and as numbers grow, you can put in a Russian map, or a Pacific map. But last I saw an Allutions map, no bases could be taken or something of such.
AvA rooms should be maps that mud can move. A stale map becomes stahl in the air as well.
That's my 2cents I love AvA I would love to have 50 on 50 or more....
Ush the maps rotate weekly and we vary each week from early to mid to late war both European and pacific and even eastern front setups. We even do WW1 and "what if" setups. if you come in on a Friday night, sometimes the map has not been changed from Thursday night tank fights, this is true.
The idea is to have ever changing 2 sided setups with realistic conditions, IE no enemy icons. the biggest problem is attracting players to the AVA. the biggest complaint is that there's no one in there. and without anyone in there, no one goes in there. so its a catch 22.
if you'd like to join the development group ill add you. let me know...
