CAN WE %#*#@&*! change the map

[ALF]

HT, I would appreciate it if you would kindly change the map, and include an AUTO ROTATE immediately.  I am getting very frustrated with the situation.  This map is not my favorite by a LONG SHOT...but I do not mind playing on it for a while.  However, after....whats it been 12 days, I am bored as hell with it, I am sick of having to spend an hour just to make a bombing run because of all the lovely 22k mountains seperating all the countries.  The huge mountains do exactly what they are said to do...keep everything seperate, and make it nearly impossible to mount a successful invasion because it is SO EASY to disable the 1-3 base incursions into enemy territory (pork the fuel and barracks)....and so EASY for them to be taken back.

The term QUAGMIRE comes to mind.  For an eternity, a few bases are taken, then the map layout forces them to be taken back.....and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on......

Ive been around long enough to remember the days when there was only 1 map......unfortunately, this map has almost put us right back there again, we spend 2+ weeks on trinity...and 4 days on all the other maps combined.

Yup last month was 3 week infinity 1 week other 5 maps.
                   hope this isnt a continuing trend.

Yup I agree.  Please introduce forced reset after 5-7 days.  I have hardly played this month because I'm soooo tired of Trinity being on all the time.

Trinity is the best MA map by far

Might be the best, but I don't want to fly it for 3 weeks out of every month.  I'd like variation, more terrains, or even the re-inclusion of the modified beta terrain, the SFTERR etc.

Chopping 3-5 K altitude off the mountains might help a lot.

It does seem the terrain altitudes are always mountains, or mountains with some valleys thrown in the mountainous area.
It would help to chop a few K off the mountain tops but to compensate, if they wanted to, they could add some valleys from the lower elevations too. They could go below sea level but maybe a negative altitude is a problem in the making of the terrain.
Offshoot idea would be to add some dams that you could bomb and flood strat targets or bases. Add skip bombs to the Lancasters too
Another idea concerning the length on large maps.
Maybe have the larger maps be reset when a side gets down to a certain number of bases.
Start with a country only needed to be lowered to five bases for a winner to be declared. If that resets the map to soon or to slowly still, that number could be adjusted to get a nice map turn around time.
You would probably still spend 3 weeks on this map but it would be three shifts of a week each with the maps that get reset in a day or two throw in to break up the map fatigue factor.
Notice I didn't say I didn't like the map, I do.
I'm in the catagory of you play the map and not let the map play you. Make the best of each one.
