Could that be a capital in the middle?

i have no idea tbh. also they would need to implement more things in order to make it a capital

It looks...interesting.

No judgment from me as long as no gameplay/mechanics information is available to speculate on.

A map-screen is nice, but there isn't anything here yet to comment on.

Ooh, we can actually see the pretty maps now.

Phantomdestiny · 2013-03-02, 10:14 PM

to me the main point is that it increases the amount of choke points and allows for better battle flow

Hm... if you ask me they just visually removed the faction colors from some hexes to make clear where the enemy might head next. From what I see it seems to be more of a visual clarification. It looks good, but Will that change anything?

actually not because if you see there it reduces the amount of connections between hexes and also makes it so you have to move from base to base in a "link" line

Oh I see, you are right, it limits your options a lot. Then I like it

The video that explains the idea

Part of me wishes if they go this route that they'd remove the roads and spread the bases out more so we can have fights between points with more cover. 16x16 km maps would really help this game especially with front lines. With the current setup of the map the front lines are basically just bases and roads. It's way too predictable.

This looks interesting to say the least, and might just turn out to be a good compromise between lattice and hex-based territory.

I had a wonderful night playing with the Praetorian Guard. The VS fought us on Indar every step of the way from outpost to major base. Really spectacular fighting tonight. Thank you PG.

As well you should

I do hope that we won't have to wait for this, or something very similar to this, for too long. I know it's not on the roadmap, but still this would be something that would surely make it very hard for me to not start playing again (Hopefully the same would hold true to many others who have left or are just waiting to rejoin).
