"Hey I ran out of gas, where's the closest gas station?"

"They put a sign up."

"Ok, great, where's the sign to tell me where the gas station is?"

"It's around..."

+1 for this simple wish - (anything that helps a brand new player without making the new player sift through forum posts is a good wish)

There are several ways to make those for yourself. One way is to open the terrain editor, lay down a spot of land and place that object on it. Use w and s, q and z keys to put the 1 square mile of the object pretty much full of the work window. Then use a snipping app to clip a picture. Save as a bitmap and massage into a 512x512 8bit for your field map. I made a map of the tank town road system that way. Some have made an AHF film flying directly over the field and clipped it from there.

Many of the things in the game are made for you by players and not Waffle.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Yes sir.  We already do this.  I am sure, like your squad, we make squad maps for just about everything and have naming and numbering systems. 

And...   Waffle ROCKS!!!
