Title: Offline Arena setup?
Post by: Sled on January 09, 2011, 06:54:48 PM

I am guessing that I am about to show how far out of the loop I have gotten, and that this subject is old news, but I did a quick search and didn't find anything on this specifically.


What happend to the arena settings in offline mode? It is no longer available.

So even offline we can not change base possessions, or enable / disable different AC.

If I am missing something here, please tell me what.

This is a big problem for those of us that are not CM's (or former CM's) and don't have an SEA to setup and practice with.

How are non CM CiC's supposed to be able to test out their orders? I offten will get in various AC and check Flight time, which direction to attack a base from, amount of ordinance needed, etc.

With no offline control of an arena this will be extremely difficult if not impossible.



I am hoping someone is going to tell me I am all wrong, and all is still good.

All still good. Just choose 'off line' when the clipboard first shows up and you can play with the settings all you want. :)

Maybe you can, but us non-CM types, cannot. (at least I can't)


If I choose "Offline" mode, then click on "options", the "Arena Setup" button is not avalible (greyed out). I have tried this on a couple of different maps.

Ditto. I change sky color, bullet hardness, down times, etc. just about every time I play in offline mode.

Well that was weird. must have been some weird glitch.

I was just offline in the germany terrain, bish. I had no arena settings available.

So I switched to knights, just like that the arena settings were available. So I switched back to Bish, and now they are available there as well. Also available with rooks.

So all is working fine after I switched sides from bish to kinghts, and back again.

Don't know why it was not working earlier, before switching sides.


Thanks for the help guys. I was starting to think I was losing it.  :lol
