Title: Map Questions
Post by: hammer on September 27, 2008, 10:06:27 AM

A couple of map related questions...

1) Is it possible to require more than 1 map room to be captured to capture a base?

2) Is it possible for a map room to be associated with more than 1 base?

Trying to think of a setup that would have a large central city control a few surrounding defensive air and vehicle bases.

Regards,

Hammer

Yes, sort of, but it will require custom bases because a base may only have one tower etc. as well as only one maproom.

There might be a terrain like this coming some day, but it's tricky because of all the objects that must be tracked. England and Europe were practically paved with bases of one kind or another during the war.

Hey Hammer I saw this post and was excited that someone was thinking of creating a new type of map to address the “game play” issues rather than suggest another set of rules.  I was wondering if you are still considering building one and if so can you give a few details?

Jappa,

I'm really just thinking out loud. I've never seen a set up that appeals to more than a few at a time, and it's often a different few that different set ups appeal to. That's a shame as I love the idea behind the AvA. I'm just trying to think of things that might make it more appealling to a larger population.

As for making a map, that would be new hobby and I don't have time for that. Heck, I want to skin but don't have time for that, either!

Regards,

Hammer

Rgr Hammer,

I don't have the knowledge nor the time to invest in making new maps or skins which is why I get excited when I hear about someone else considering it.  I wish I did cause a new map with different objectives, terrain and capture system would really set the AVA apart from the MAs.  AVA and MA are supposed to play differently (at least I think so... may be wrong) but it's hard to do with the same map configuration.  Appreciate your reply,
