what do you think of island style?.

[crazyroosterman]

so now that island style achualy works what do you guys think of it?. i like the heavier emphasis on the under ground as a means of housing people.

Arrrrr, pirates!

Sea warfare will have a bigger impact in this game type.

[crazyroosterman]

cant argue with that helipads arent going to be any use in this type seeing as how youve got such limited space and barracks are more cost effictive(after all how else are you going to deal with underground buildings. ps to me i think that sea buildings need a bit of a buff in regualar maps there justn so un cost effictive unless you realy dont have the space for missle silos or helipads

[crazyroosterman]

so now that you guys have had the opportunity to spend a good deal of time with island style do you think its a good map type?.(or do you think there are things that need changing with it?)

I've never been interested in it. It just slows things down with the movement between islands.

[crazyroosterman]

fair enough but I was hoping for more general feedback on it.

Helipads not useful? What madness is this! They are really useful for spreading fast over the islands

Currently seems like only thoraxians and spire/neinzul(spires much faster though) can spread well while other races will be stuck in their original locations building seaports all over the place.

Still, I'd say this is pretty fun game Managed to blow up thoraxian nest too since they never seem to attack back. But even when they would, I think its nice to be able to airbomb them from other island.

I'm currently trying out building civic center/another city on thoraxian's original homeisland(they are still alive, but I cleaned their island ) I'm not sure yet if there is any benefit to that, but I wanna try out mechanics for cities

i haven't really had a chance to get going with my island save so that was more theory really than anything mainly counting the fact of limited space I presumed that if you wanted to invade other islands you would build sea ports and have a few barracks on the main island for dealing with the underground.
