Arctic?

25 May 2016, 14:03

Well, I have seen this around the forums, and thought it was time we made a thread about it.

Do you think, the Antarctic and Arctic should be added to the world map?

A solid yes. A globe map where we could fly over the poles would be good.

But how to convert globe to a flat map? I mean, I never seen it in any game. Poles are always cut out. It's hard to make that in good way, maybe even impossible, especially for browser game. I could be wrong, but I have never seen that.

I mean make a globe. Kind of like Google maps/world.

I am divided here, by leaning slightly with Quasi here. I would love to see the ability to fly over the Artic

but we would need a new Terran for there..

Simple, ice sheets. Mechanised units cannot cross them.

The antarctic shouldn't be passable for troops. But as for planes flying over it, I don't have an issue.

True. Although it is stable. While you couldn't march militia over it, if you had lvl 3 infra with train tracks you could ship units by train over it no problem.

(nuclear?) Subs should be able to pass under the arctic as well.

That sounds good.

And when under the ice they shouldn't be detected by naval bombers.

Naval bombers likely won't have the range to reach into the arctic anyways

If they're on CVs they will.

Well, even so, the range is very limited for Naval Bombers

But, i think Commandos, and infantry can cross

They do get a bigger range as they level up, right?

No, it is too cold.

Oh yes, definitely

Level 1 Naval Bomber: 200km

Level 6 Naval Bomber: 438km

For reference-

Level 2 Strategic Bomber: 400km

Have you ever heard of ski warfare?

If there's an environment, there's soldiers for it.

Those are specialised troops though. You think some Algerian troops can just trot through the Arctic?
