Title: Mindanao i hate you!
Post by: thrila on January 18, 2002, 08:43:03 AM

Yes i do!!

It seems whenever we get to this map we seem to stay on it for an infinity.

The map would also be won a lot quicker if there wasn't some sort of bug in this map.

I'm talking about the "whenever a country gets down to 5 bases the sever crashes" bug.  

Ok so it's not a bug (or is it......) but it's very annoying.  How many times this rotation for mindanao has the server crashed,  I make it 3 or it could be 4.  The previous Mindanao rotation it crashed a few times too.


Mindanao why wont you just die?

Mindanao is the best map in use, although Baltic is a close second  :)

The only problem is bases are so easy to capture, when Mindanao does go away it's back in a few days because all the other maps are reset often in a matter of hours.  For some reason Mindanao lasts longer, probably because of the hilly terrain making it tougher to sneak in a goonie.

IMO a fix would be placing VH's in towns (or at least a spawn point for vehicles), making both the VH and towns tougher to kill, and adding more anti-aircraft guns over the towns.  

Heck, make the towns tough enough to kill that it's only practical for people to use B-17's or Lancasters against them--that'd give the bomber guys a real role in AH.

For me, Mindinao is the best map.

Untill the CV's get toughened up then mindanao (or however it's spelled) is the best map.

I dare say that after this the originator of this topic will never be confused with the real "Thrila from Manila."

Seeing as the "thrilla in manilla" was a boxing match i would find it very difficult to get me confused with it.:rolleyes:


However simple a person is, i don't think this'll happen any time soon.

My 0.5€
Mindanao last longer because there are almost no vehicle spawn points near enemy bases.
And it is a great map.

I agree, esp with all these crashes..4.or 5 so far this time..ugh! I'm sick of it. It's not even fun to furball in it anymore.

This is funny, when i left 6 months ago, I remember being dissappointed that whenever Mindanao came up in the rotation(when rotating maps first started), it only lasted a day at most, and we were stuck in the isles terrain forever. I loved flying Mindanao, guess now maybe i'll get a chance to more often :)

Funny that no one notices (or seems to mention) how imbalanced the Mindano terrain is. Doesn't it seem a bit odd that the folks that are placed in the western country (the tail) have never lost a camp?

If Mindinao is imbalanced (and I have no opinion on whether or not it is), then the obvious solution is to rotate the country positions with each map change.
