M. Bates Posted September 16, 2000 Share Posted September 16, 2000 Whenever I go through the Quick Battle process of creating a map and the conditions for PBEM play, I always end up the w-i-d-e-s-t maps imaginable. If I could make the other ends friendly to each side, there would be a nice long map instead, but there ain't no option for that. ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullethead Posted September 16, 2000 Share Posted September 16, 2000 I agree. There is too much difference in the QB map widths between small and medium. The medium map is too wide IMHO for most "medium-sized" forces to adequately defend. This is quite a problem for "medium-sized" AI defenders, who end up spread across the whole width and thus weak everywhere. Against a human unafraid to fight a maneuver battle on the defensive, this isn't such a problem. But it leads to a long string of attacker walkovers against the AI. ------------------ -Bullethead Visit the brand new Raider Operations message board at www.delphi.com/raiderops Main site www.historicalgames.bizland.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 16, 2000 Author Share Posted September 16, 2000 Yes, I couldn't believe it myself!! It's probably some kind of oversight. If people want a good medium sized game then they really have to play a Scenario or download a custom map, especially in PBEM. ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrapGame Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 It is the same way with large maps and 5000 pt. quick battles. I thought I read somewhere on the forum that the maps are automatically scaled to a certain size depending on the number of points chosen for the battle - i.e. a "medium" map for a 1500pt quick battle would be smaller than a "medium" map for aa 2500pt quick battle. I noticed this when I played some 5000pt quick battles versus the AI, and the maps seemed huge to defend even with 5000 points to spend! Please correct me if I am wrong. ------------------ CrapGame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
