New Idea for Arena
« on: July 13, 2000, 10:34:00 AM »
Was thinking of how to make the game play more even, as it is we have 3 country's and an identifier to show country of attacker. How about we turn off the Id both in the air and on the map. This would make the enemy the enemy and friendly just that. You would not know whos who and have to fight all side to win battle. In a way this would make a 2 sided arena. It would also male it almost impossible to have two country's allie together.

Whats your thoughts on this can it work or not work.

Great idea Indian!
That should imply also to show all the enemy bases with the same icon in the strat base list.

No way, not in MA. It might be a good idea, but there is whole bunch of people who just won't buy it.

I bet with the terrain editor and and a SEA configurable options you will be able to.

A. Select a Historical Map with Historical Airfields.

2. Enable only aircraft that were Axis/Allied from thos airfields.

3. Configure Icons (If its historical plane sets who needs em?)

4. Adjust Weather parameters.

5. Adust Radar. I.E. in a CBI the Tigers would have Radar the IJA wouldn't.  But the Tigers would only get it on the ground.  You could have someone from a Tower Radio the info to the Tigers, so long as they are within 25 Miles of the Tower.

Stuff like that.

I like it.
 The same old same old has to be revamped.
 That and reducing Icon effectiveness.

I think it is a great idea.  Or maybe even lower the viewing range, especially at night.  The viewing range now is too far.  Might give goons more cover.  Or even just turn it off at night would be great!  :0

Turning it off at night would be great if we had exhaust flames  to see the planes. and something up close to id enemy. It might take alot of codeing but how about the icon just say enemy until within 1000yds or so and then switch to plane type. Also away to make your plane apear to be the enemy until realy close would be fun also. Sorta like the reason the invasion stripes were changed to keep germany from copying them.

still just a thought ould make game alot of fun.
