Crop Dusting
« on: January 21, 2016, 10:21:12 PM »
Ah, hear me out!

Aces High needs more depth to the strategy side of the game. Feeding the troops, the towns, and the cities might be one way to do that. I'm not saying this is the only way, but by way of example this is one way strategy might be expanded to give players another aspect of flying and aid the country in maintaining its borders. Crop dusting is just an example.

We have farms already. Why not add the crop output to the strategic system? Add crop dusting to the supply side of towns. Allow dusting in the midst of vulching for achievements and perks.

Aces High needs more strategy and this is just one idea.

would be nice to have a map where weed farms are hidden and there's a big furball to see which country would own them.

It's an irony trap. Only the people that don't involve themselves in strategy will respond.

Why would someone want to farm weeds, I just spray  them down in the spring and fall  :headscratch:

You would be wrong. Crop dusting for the Germans maybe not. Britain, America, New Zealand, and Australia at a minimum were still engaged in aerial application as usual. The ide wasn't to use crop dusting specifically, but to do something that would add to the strategic side of AH that also uses flying. Even adding something new like a different use of railroads would help out the broken 'strategic system' that we have.

What i meant was that crop dusting was not used as a part of warfare. For civilian use it was yes. But i dont see why it should be relevant to AH. Unless the farms are made a part of the strategic system like the factories and made a target i see no reason to have them. Having people flying around far away from the front line and crop dusting farms that are irrelevant to the game isnt what we need.

Apparently, neither is flying goons to the factories, which is why so many wars are lost.

We should also have mailmans and milk delivery trucks. The people need their paper. And milk.
