Title: Town symbol?
Post by: badhorse on August 07, 2006, 06:51:42 AM

On the current map (Sunday nights)  just north of A36 there is a small yellow square. It looks just like the symbol for a town. But this one is at the top of a mountain and when you fly over it there is nothing there.  It even blinks red when a bad guy is nearby.

Not a bug.

That dot = the map rooms for CVs.

You'll find something similar on every map. Some are scattered individually. Others are all in one place.

Thanks NHawk

Who'd a thunk it.  A map room for CVs.  A map room for CVs on a mountain top.  

This begs the question.....  Why is there a map room for CVs on a mountain top?

Every base requires a map room. A CV group is nothing more than a floating base.

And before you ask, dropping troops on a CV map room does nothing. A CV is tied to the port it belongs to.

A technical detail but mentioning it anyway.
The yellow dot represents the maproom itself and not the town. You always have a maproom even if the field has no town.

That much I knew.

Thanks NHawk and Fuzeman.  I appreciate the info.
