Maps and Armies

Army Musician · 10-05-2007, 03:32 PM

As you are well aware there are a number of community factions out there, and mapping is going to be a pain.
I have had an idea.

Would it be possible to an RTW/M2TW type thing, where you select the terrain map, followed by the Armies.

Server/SP

Step 1 - Choose map/Terrain >>> Step 2 - Choose Armies from Team 1 and Team 2 >>> Step 3 play

Step 2 explained >> once you have chosen your map you then choose a team 1 and a team 2.

E.g. you have picked a map 'Desert Storm' the map itself has no armies scripted to it, but when you choose two teams(in the game menu) eg. Britain and MEC. It then turns the team 1 outposts to Britain and T2 to MEC (or whatever it is), and sets out the vehicles relevant to that team.
Like when an out post is captured the vehicles that spawn there are the equivalent of the other team?

Ask questions if you are unclear what I mean, though if it cant be done, then lock

Good idea for the reg. armies, but militia and Insurgents could be a pain - especially the ammo & weapon caches.

If it is actually possible (which I dought) I would like to see it used for the reg. armies only. Possibly the militia as well on some maps, but not the Insurgents because it is not likely to play well.

not possible and not something we want to do aswell. Not like you are going to see China fighting in Al Basrah against the militia now?

Well, anything can happen

.

But if it was just limited to certain maps and the regular armies it could work. The building styles could be a real problem, though, unless the map is carefully thought though.

@Rhino, I meant in a sense of the preset teams, for example, those on Team 1 - China, MEC etc... and those on Team 2, Britain, America etc.... can only play on those teams like it is atm...

You have a map, and you decide which army from T1 and which army from T2 play each other
