Updating Older Maps

[JimmyD3]

Randy1, you are absolutely correct about the old Tank Town. The new one just doesn't have the "draw" the original had. My "List of projects" has a new tank town on it patterned after the original. Hope to get to it this year.

Would be nice to have a smaller version of Trinity. Those spawn battles at V base 134 were an absolute hoot. You really had to climb some mountains if you wanted to bomb gv’s. Some how ManaWar was able to get his lancs over and down into the valley.

Sometimes there were as many as 200 gv’er there at one time. I remember Hooter landed 200 kills in a Panther.

What is the feeling of adding Flak Bases to the strats of these older maps??

I am trying to insure every base has at least one friendly spawn into it, Front line bases will have 2 spawns, 1 friendly and 1 enemy.

I don't have an opinion other than,... bless you for going the extra mile to update the game a bit. A true viking.

Well said Kong, fwiw I have a new map of the same area as Baltic, ready to go. It is on the server, "Scandnvy". I have asked Hitech to not put it in rotation until the new terrset00 is implemented. It could replace the Baltic map, but I felt there were others that enjoyed the Baltic map as it is. If  you will send me a "PM" I have a few things I would like to discuss with you in regards to maps, objects and object properties. 

I’d be rather happy never to login and see Baltic up and spend the next 10 mins figuring out how to create a sustained fight. 

It’s really an AH2 map, I could swear I can remember playing before on whatever my AH1 callsign was?

After Baltic, my least favorites are NDIsles (actually a toss up with Baltic dependent of certain factors) then Mindinao. Out of the many discussions about these three, only Higheye has mentioned how it’s one of his favorites, literally no one else re: these three. Flush them.

If they’re amongst the most disliked (we could have a poll taken) it’s lipstick on a pig. Since I doubt any maps are getting pulled, the lipstick is better than no change(s).

I remember that GV spawn, easily had the most fun I’ve ever had in the game at that spawn both bombing gvs and getting killed 50 times trying to get off spawn into a tree

Id say those are my 3 favorite maps! Kenai (Jimmy) just rebuilt NDIsles with some of the changes he has mentioned here. Its a bit harder to reset now but it has action all over the place. Many time the center island becomes a great furball. The last I heard Kenai was working on a rebuild of the Baltic map. These smaller maps generate more fights, less places to hide, thats what makes them the best ones.

I have been unable to locate a graphic/map  of Trinty.

Strats maybe the great weakness in the three country system.  The maps that are setup so only one country can  within reason attack their adjacent countries strats makes two counties attacking a single country nearly unplayable. Not all maps are that way but a couple are.  Two countries attacking one countryy can be exciting unless the stratss are way out of balance.

Ack bases might help.

Trinity was great in its original form, before it was shelved along the other large maps in late 2006 when the arenas were split.
When it came back a few years later (Titanic Tuesdays), Tank Town didn't work any more and the population generally had already been too low for the setup with those annoying 30k mountain ranges between the three countries

Thank you Lusche, it's in my to do folder now.

Does this include town bridges and if not can we make that a thing?
