Title: Map for comment
Post by: popeye on December 11, 2020, 11:42:22 AM
"Crags" is another compact map designed to concentrate action.  Terrain varies from mountains to desert.  There is a center "playground" island for quick fighter and GV combat that is accessible to TGs for defense/capture.  Each country has a second TG that is mainly for defense/re-capture of the shoreline bases and center ports (or....?).  Strats are concentrated with quick resupply trips.

Not sure HTC needs another MA map, but I'm having fun creating them.   :D

Looks good to me. I like the local spawn points for GVs so you dont have to drive "out" to a spawn to defend against incoming GVs.

One question, why didnt you place F104 SW of HQ to maintain the "triangle" layout you have at the other two depots sets? I think the triangle layout gives better protection. As it is you could stay SW of the flak bases and still hit the depots.

I put the flak bases in radar blind areas figuring that's where the bombers will approach.  But, it's my experience that the flak bases don't really protect the strat targets -- I've flown over them repeatedly without losing a drone.  At least they will flash and help locate the attackers.

Looks great, new maps should be welcome if they meet all the requirements.
