Title: Put a base or 3 in the middle!
Post by: Lephturn on February 09, 2000, 09:41:00 AM
The rolling terrain in Aces High flat rocks.  The mountains and canyons especially, but we don't get to fight there much.

I would like to see either one base in the center of the map, or three fairly close together in there.  This would give us a great area from which to stage combat in these awsome canyons and mountains.

I guess HTC's upcoming terrain editor will facilitate us doing this sort of thing ourselved in the future.  For now though, if HTC does a terrain update, I hope they put some bases in the mountains for us to play from.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yep, I asked this same thing awhile back, it would be awesome, possibly make it Switzerland (Neutral) and there for the "taking" for whoever wants to capture it.

Oh I'm sorry.. 10k isn't that much higher than 5k.. considering the fact the mountain itself is at around 10k in the middle whats the problem?

Well gee, why don't we just get rid of mountains altogether and make everything flat, have only one plane oh and have only 3 fields in the whole arena? Would that be better for you?

I think airstarts for bombers are a good idea for scenarios, special events and such, but IMO, they don't have a place in MA activities.

I think a remote base in the central mountain area would be cool.   But I think is should be way down in a steep valley and you can't spawn from there but the side that owns it can land /re-fuel/re-arm/repair.

I could swear I heard one HTC personel talking about the ability to re-fuel, re-arm in a future version...maybe I was dreaming, I dunno...would be a nice feature.

You make a loser post by hacking mine and then yawn when I respond? What are you just looking for trouble and then ignore it when it comes?

Ok sure,whatever ill take the bait.

The only thing i said in my post were if there are gonna be 10k airfields, AH might aswell have airstarts. . . You took this like i was attacking you personally, well im sorry it was not intended that way.

As to the "10k isnīt that much higher than 5k" well i guess the differance is 5k right? <G> and guess what, in that case 15k aint that much higher than 10k right?

And lastly the reason i replyed with an *Yawn* in my last post was that you drifted way way off topic with me djust wanting 1 aircraft and no mountains in the game wich i do not have an clue where you got from. . .

Have an nice day.

How about placing random ack guns in the valleys.  That would be a nice treat.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
