Title: Why not change the map design?
Post by: Killjoy2 on February 09, 2004, 01:47:45 PM

Simple idea.  Why not alter the maps we are using a little.  Not a complete redesign, but just a few alterations to make them a little more interesting?  

It doesn't even have to be an improvement, just a little different on a few bases.  

Oh, and I really like the idea of named bases.  Named bases make it a little like king of the hill and produce a value added quotient to the game.  If a base were named Yankee Island, I'm sure we'd all gladly die defending her honor. "Which is more than she ever did."

Naming bases is fine, howerver there are LOTS of bases. I'd suggest we just start by naming strategicaly important bases, like strat-zone-controller bases.

Hmmm.....

4 old maps with about 30 fields for each country...90x4=360.

3 new maps with about 250 total fields in each...250x3=750.

Over 1,100 field names (with more maps coming).

Sure...I bet HTC is all over this one :D.

I've been pushing for named bases for a long time now.

Actually, naming the fields would be a responsibility that falls on the map makers, like Fester.  Of course, the whole community could help come up with names, if needed.

HTC wouldn't have to do everything themselves.  :)

We don't have to name all the bases, but 3 named bases on a map would be fun.  

We don't need to change a whole map, jsut change those 3 bases.  Even move them from month to month.
