Hell yeah!!! Congrats Kenai77 and Oboe! Thanks for the dedication. Thanks for posting it Hitech. Can't wait to try it.

PS Hitech, anyway you can re-randomize the map rotation as well? Honest question.

Map looks great!

If you have issues with your ICONs not showing up. alt-I till you set them to normal. Relog out of the game, fixed it for me.

Looks great! 

No issues with icons or anything else during 1.5 hours I was on.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Glad to hear this news!   I'm outta town so I can't check it out, but can somebody keep me posted how long it lasts before its reset, and what strategy ended up being used to win the map?   I think Kenai built in some interesting land attack routes to allow for strategies other than straight-up bulldozing the opposing countries.  Each country has its own advantages and disadvantages according to its geography.  We discussed it on the Terrain Editor forum and I'm interested to see who made the most accurate predictions.



Thanks to Kenai77 for his hard work and patience dealing with me and my obsession for realism and details and to Hitech for putting the terrain in!

Dang, I bet the Dickweeds are going to have a big bomber raid and I'll miss it...

The new map got reset this morning. Tropical Thunder Squadron, with less than 10 players online, reset this wonderful new map.  :mad:

Sent a email to hitech today to see if there is a way for him to set a min # of players online, to reset a map. Every morning, Tropical Thunder Sqn hordes up (5-7 players), when both Bish and Rook only have 1 or 2 online. There is simply no way to defend against them....and they reset the map almost every morning using this method. 

That is what the Tropical Turds did this morning. Really too bad, as lots of players would of liked to try this map out today, but now it's going to be a week or more before it comes back in rotation.

Kudos to Kenia and ALL involved in it's development.  :aok

Or only have the new map in the rotation so it resets itself

Congrats on new map! Alot of work went into this and I can hardly wait for the minor bugs to be corrected. I was unable to man BB guns, when I looked up double cloud layer gave fps of 2, might make high alt bombing iffy. :x :x :x


7am PST 8 Bish 1 Rook AND they are running the map please don't make any changes to Map Win if it's not broke don't fix it. :banana: :banana: :banana:

Sucks to hear it was reset, but not surprised. Was hoping to get to longer play time on it tonight.

HiTech hoped on earlier and reset the server to bring the map back up. Its going to run a few times in a row so come check it out over the next day or two!

I agree, it’s kinda bogus that maps get rolled with no opposition in the early morning.
