Title: Town respawns.
Post by: JunkyII on April 02, 2009, 12:41:28 AM
I think after a base is captured the town should pop right away. either this or give us man-guns in town like i have already wished for :salute

A big No! from me on this.

That will just make it easier for the Borg to swallow base after base and move on to the next one.
It gives a hugely outnumbered country a small, yet distinct chance to recapture a base. Of course this only works if the original captor doesn't choose to defend what he just grabbed, a phenomenom I often withness with smash&grab hordes off all countries, particulary the ones avoiding combat on the way.

You are correct now that I think about it but it happened tonight where the bigger country took the base after the outnumbered country just took it. :salute

Not the same 37mms should be used I think more along the lines of a 5 inch gun, similar to the guns you find at strats just player usable :salute

I think all guns base and town should be mannable/auto ack that would be real nice.

One or the other.  You can't have one gun be both.

No. Protect what you take at least until town pops up.

No, the buildings in the city come back on a timer.

As far as the ack guns go, I don't know.  Probably not, but I don't know for certain, and I do know that the ack guns come up in conjunction with the supply convoys driving showing up, so it's possible.  I do know for a fact that base ack can be brought back up with supplies, I don't know if that works with a town.

Do you think it would be a good Idea to make C-47 cargo drop rep towns?

Actually, I think (maybe) it will bring the AAA back up quicker, like mass LVT's at a port.  Of course, the ack comes back up in the city anyway when the base is captured. 

I have not tested it.  It could be a myth like the "reset the maproom" thing.

You could test it online.  Find a bored squad.  Have them up M-3's from an adjacent base, you can't resupply a base with supplies from the same base, while one or two switch countries and kill the town ack.  Drop base supplies one at a time until the ack comes back up.

EW arena would probably work if you could get the other three people in there to leave you alone.

I think the standard auto ack time down is 40 or 45 minutes, but I'm not sure.

To do it off line, you would have to kill the ack, switch countries, and run supplies.  If not impossible, it would be a PITA.

Don't pork the base when you take it.  Or, don't tower out immediately.  Defend a bit first.

I know wrongway I just dont like how they responded to a wishlist, if they dont like an idea they should at least be respectful when commenting, plus they both come from the two horde sqauds which take a base then they all disappear to set up the next noe mission-_-
