well I know hitech and gang can do anything they want to it just comes down to what they think will be more beneficial. would releasing a new terrain that instigates fast paced action so dweebs have a diversion while ah2 is finished be worth the time it takes to recompile the terrain for use in the main arena?

Ive seen HTC do some fast work in record unbelievable time.

Gatso........took a look at your map.  Looks great!  I'm sure that

would be well received in MA also!  Possibilites for good fights

under the usual 30 plane gangbang limit

Big maps do look nice.....but this Big Isle Map has the majority

of the time 30 planes on 5......action usually limited to a huge

gangbang while taking bases.  Everyone checks dar when they

log on to find a fight.....what one usually finds in this map is a

huge green darbar with a small red one....or a huge red darbar

with a small green one.  Fights on this map usually confined to

two small areas of the map...pity too...it's a big map.  That also

could be the pack mentality at work...dogpile on the wabbit

Yup, thats pretty much what it comes down to  :D

I've not given up hope yet. We'll just have to wait and see.

ah what the heck.. I wasn't going to post this... you can thank Mr Bacardi for me doing so  :D Check out the ports btw. They're the only non standard feature and as such will probably get scrubbed. I think it's a good idea anyway.

Equinox is a nice map, but I had trouble with it. The boats dont move? I would like to see this in the MA.

Cit I like the way you changed the vehicle bases. I will reserve judgment on the rest until its in the MA.

Well done both of you!

 Ships move fine you just need to give them a waypoint. They dont have preset stating waypoints yet. Both maps are very nice. The destroyed building on the Eqnox map at the tank town are awsome. Really fine work both of you . Would love to see both these maps in the MA.

Noticed lot's of farmland textures on side of mountains and in other odd places, I guess they could be Vinyards, but looked a little odd

Great job on roads near airfields, gives base area more visual structure from above.

Just a thought about Fictional maps, what about giving certain regions names. It would add a bit of immersion and would become easier to give position, etc etc

Umm nice touch on A21... 10K base for king of the mountain. It will have to go though since you don't have one for the Rook or Knight setups. If each country had 1 on each side of that mountain that would work out fine but as it is? Doubt HT will approve it.


Perhaps your quite new to AH, but back in the day one of the orginal beta maps had a single field (A1) at 10k in the centre of the terrain. It spawned some great fights, since there were lower bases the base of the mountain and great deal of team-work was required to capture it. I'd like to see something like that again. Having one side own it initially wouldn't be that unbalancing.

I agree. Come up with 19-22 names (1 for each island) and I'll add em to the CB map, see what it looks like.  :D
