New Ideas

[Tarn]

Check out the new ideas section over at the Mech Hero forums. I'd like the your support or criticism on some of my proposals.
Also this thread can serve as a heads up for when one of us posts a new idea over there.


Some of my suggestions.

Something I sent to Andy, Via PM


Owl_eyes and I were sitting looking at the at the world. She also plays a number of games, other than this that are related to face-book, and there are quite a few now. She spoke up and said,
"Ya'know after you get ur mechs sent out, and your harvesters sent out, this game becomes almost boring". She went on to say, "You ought to be able to see your mechs, and harvesters on the world map". What I visualized when she said that was the world map, (doesn't exist yet) with a zoom capability, that you could drill in on to see your harvesters and mechs as they toil across this barren planet, perhaps trailing a faint line to show their progress. Also, it wold then be possible to see other cities as they are located on the grid, something that is really needed now.
I tried real hard not not to say anything about other peoples mechs, because that would short out the whole "Visualize" idea that you folks came up with.
If you carry the thought through though. picture a "Google World" type view where you see , (little detail), masses of black dots as they engage, and expire, or succeed. It would even be better to see colors assigned to each alliance so that it would be possible to differentiate between the two parties.
After playing Mechwarrior and Crysis, plus it's mod, it seems a fairly plausible add-on, that would only serve to increase the worth of an already noteworthy game.
