Apologies to the AKs if my tone was insulting.  I was trying to make a memorable post, not a derogatory one and I think I overstepped the line.

Every once in a while I get reminded abruptly what a diverse community this is.   I always thought I was pretty average, but that doesn't mean most everyone's going to think the way I do.

I'm sure when 1.10 comes out, the new terrain will be a big hit.
People will have a lot of new planes to fly around in and I'm sure find alot to do in the terrain.

I think it is a neat map.  Fair division of territory and the like would by nature suggest a symetrical shape.  Form follows function in this case.

The CT will have plenty of another flavor of action, as always.  I think once people play this map though they will like it - a lot.

"Well actually I offered up that suggestion because it's an elitest thing and only special squads will be considered... "


SW

which are the special squads? which qualify for consideration? I'm really interested in the social structure of this game and would love it if someone could inform the rest of us the hierarchy of standing within the different squads. is it a written thing or just one of those 'nod/wink' sort of things?


thanks

I have yet to judge a map because of its "looks" ... looks is not what does it for me, its the playability (which one of the AK said that HT was looking for).

The AKs' know how to play this game and I'll bet that we will all be pleasantly surprised with the gameplay when we finally get to use it.

I would like to see HT publish some sort of requirements for any map to be considered for circulation within the MA. I would like to take a shot at making a map.

My concern is how to handicap the AKs' for the first 5 rotations of this map. They must know all the secret nooks and crannies and that can't be good for the rest of us. :D (just kidding)

Big <> to all the AKs' on what must have been a tremendous effort. THANKS !!!

For those contemplating making a terrain for the Main Arena our map evolved with input from HTC. Here are a few guidelines:

The fields and terrain should be laid out symetrically, or at least in a fashion that is even and cannot be exploited by one side.

Field distances should always be within .75 and 1.5 sectors apart.

Limit on number of fields is 255. Use them all, no more, no less.

There should be 3-4 zones per country.

Within these guidelines I'm sure there are many layout possibilites but I bet they are all pretty much symetrical. How about tossing out some ideas for a shape/layout here?

Certainly, AK's are first, all the rest are tied for second.

Sorry, couldn't resist.  :D

I have to agree that it must be one of the uglyest maps made for AH.. But you got to start from somewhere and maybe it will give a good gameplay balance. We'll see soon.
