The core AH game(business model) is the sand box capture the flag game called the Melee arena. Since this game is capable of supporting 1000 players in that arena at the same time, terrains smaller than 10x10 is walking away from the business model and how it separates AH from other games. The same 10x10 can be constructed with an illusion of space while a reality of shorter distances. Time is the enemy of attention span these days in games. So reduce the minimum field distance to 13-15 miles. Vets will quickly get tenuous about furballing and up one feild back to do alt and run as usual. New people won't know any better and run over quickly to get clubbed by their tenuous betters.  :rofl

Still, that will cut down on the time problem under Hitech's business model.

So which one of you geniuses will create the new terrain for him??????

I absolutely volunteer to make him as many 2-sided maps as he wants of what ever size he fancies.

Give me a call any time Dale.  ;)

You have to ignore all the game changes resulting from forum suggestions and conversations to believe that.

The noisy idiots don't get their way. That's not a problem.

Calling people IDIOTS is a problem.   I've been threatened with a ban for far less.   Just saying.

Exactly.

An email promotion like that would go a LONG way.

It wouldn't hurt.

People want to see things happening and want to see that it's exciting with some enthusiasm. Right now we are like a F4U low n slow on the deck. Missing huge potential of the plane by taking the time to get some alt.

Email is not the solution.   It gets marked as spam and the domain is flagged.

I know I am always motivated to help out when called names.   I'll get right on it.


I'll do a terrain when you do a NMF skin.   Just one.   Not dozens.  How about that?

Scaling can probably be automated with sufficiently satisfactory results.

Way to sell your point. Pretentious and condescending. Part of the problem.

So why not multiple language support?

Is that a fantasy or something that can work?

So your opinions on the current competitive landscape are not particularly informed.

Yes... just on this game. Nothing else of interest.

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC
