Title: MA Idea
Post by: NHawk on February 02, 2003, 05:42:38 PM

I'm looking to create an MA that does away with any furball islands. This would encourage more teamwork and requires a consious effort to engage in a fight.

Here's one idea I had. It shows the 3 countries, about a 1/4 sector dead zone around the map and the 4 "hot" zones for each country.

Suggestions?? Ideas?? Thoughts??

I looked at your idea map. Unless you put in choke points, to 'guide' the game play, the players will create many more 'hot points' than you have planned. Never underestimate the willingness of AH players to totally hose a terrain designer's plan :D.

What I meant by hot zone is what should normally be the obvious starting points for attacks. Anything other than that is fine since it takes some actual thought about where the player is going to go. Jumping into a map and instantly being in action where all three countries are involved is what I'm trying to avoid.

I guess another way of saying it is I'm trying to set up the actual initial front lines.
