You can see the pt boats from where you start. Wouldn't that be a clue?
and in every other map, enemies have pritty much came from the north as
your running south.
I'm doing that same map now.

Subs use torpedoes for sub to sub combat as well.
You could make two torpedo types. But that's really up to you. One could be
antisub and the other used like normal. Hen again, that is probably to
convoluted.
Ok, I must have missed that then. I headed south on the map till I found a
waterway inland. I will have to explore more I guess. You might want to give a
little more direction on the get away maps. Such as the enemy approaching from
the north, things like that.

Well, I ment for the call for help skill to be used on some allies that,
I guess, you havn't found.
The river sort of curves toward a dock where there is a hole load of
ships sitting around 16, 26, its there where you're supposed to use call
for help.
don't know ho
I like that storyline.
How could subs hit each other underwater, maybe by ramming?
Thanks for the thoughts

Hey Keith,
Good stuff so far!
On the last map where you can call for help, the skill is a little screwy.
I ended up using it on all those units moving south toattack. Was that what you
intended?
Also, the skill needs ano_self_cast flag on it. It call itseklf for help and
ended the map, lol.
If you weret intending for that call for help skill to work against the
aggressors, then I am wondering about the possible allies, A battleship and two
PT boats did not really matter compared to 6 PT, 2 destroyers, 2 cruisers 2 or
three subs and a battleship.
The Get away maps were cool, once I figured out the stratagey, those had me
going for a while.
The one about the bomb was a good idea, but I ended up gettingthe Ripper
killed, yet themission was still successful. Since Ripper is essential to the
next maps, you might want a defeat flag where if the GRM Ripper dies, the map
fails.
From the maps you got right now, you got this mysterious, yet powerful enemy,
who is threatening stability in a jungle featured continent/nation.
So Maybe the mysterious force is a complete unknown.
The next map could be a trip by land forces into the jungle to capture an arms
dealer who has information about the mysterious organization.
It could start with a group of paratroopers dropped into a dense jungle, and
they have to attack a compound featuring thugs and bad guys hired by the dealer
to protect a compound.
Mayb the dealer even as a new unit, like trained gorillas or bomb monkeys. Just
a thought.
Anyway , they capture the arms dealer. They lean on him, and he gives up the
name of some meg corporation.
The corporation is too powerful and has an army of lawyers to defend them
legally...so evidence is required to find out what they are doing. This leads
to another map where the player leads a team into an office at night and
uncovers plans that the corp is buying old ship hulls of retired military
vessels, and are using them to build apart of a hidden secret army.
The infiltration could perhaps feature a break in to a building that featured
advanced robot cyborgs or other weapons on the cusp of new uture technology.
In fact, Maybe thwe corp has lost millions in bidding wars to gain lucrative
contracts, which a year ago allowed a hostile take over of the corp by some
mysterious org. who are using the corporation as a front for nefarious things.
Anyway the next map could lead the player to control a few derelict looking
ships that are presented as possible hulls for sale.
This draws out the uyer...and then the naval ships could reactivate ad attack
to capture the buyer.
So this might be in a shipyard filled with old ships that might add a new
factor to a sea battle. Perhaps some may blow up if collateral damage is
suffered, perhaps some cut loose and float randomly,. Making them a nuisance.
Maybe the enemy ships, in attempting to flee could drop mines to stop pursuit.
I think a good sub fight would be neat . For instance, if the buyer got away
from the trap in a sub or three and some near by submarines were needed t
chase them down in some underwater caverns under a volcanic mountain
island...maybe he thing even blows and lava starts pouring slowly into the
tunnels.
Anyway, This leads to the capture or klling of the buyer, but information is
given that the mysterious power behind everything is a crazy scientist who owns
his own island. He figured if a huge world war started, he could finally sell
his dangerous futuristic weapons.
Thus the next few maps could be an island invasion.
Maybe you got battleships and airrcraft carrier to bombard anti aircraft guns
and pill boxes meant to stem a shoreline invasion.
Then send the troops in, taking the beaches and fighting till they reach the
crazy scientist who, of course, has created the ultimate mega weapon of
terrible destruction. Maybe a giant mech, or a planet ripper bomb, or even a
gigantic magnet which grabs near by passing asteroids to force them to slam
into various countries to start the next war.
Heck, you could even take a team to space to bomb an approaching asteroid so
that it doesn’t kill everything. Fighting aspace battle on an asteroidagainst
evil crazy scientist fanatics migh be interesting. Especially if you get space
shuttles in there.
Sorry about any spelling. I hope this helps jog the imagination a bit, and it
may help you get some ideas, even if you hate the storyline presented.
It's fun! Keep up the good work!
