New Maps and Modes: Pacific Theatre

[TheDavyJones]

I had already brought up this idea on a separate thread but I know everyone has been thinking about some fresh content that could change up play styles. I was thinking rather than just have this single European theatre map, there could also be a Pacific theatre one as well which would focus more on naval and island warfare? It's a far off topic but I think it's something I can see the developers implementing in the future that could make this game over the top.

If there would be a pacific theatre map. Of course there's have to be a lot of new units and upgrades. Gotta have the aircraft carriers. But upgrades for tanks and infantry like flamethrowers? They're not necessarily needed now but if there were defensive positions like bunkers and trenches that could be constructed by infantry(i.e. construction upgrade), it would definitely give a huge boost to the usefulness and importance to infantry. 

Victory point objectives would have to change. 

No SS but Imperial Japanese objectives like aircraft carrier hunting in the ocean(Tigers)

also certain islands would be strongholds that would be a challenge to destroy(replace the SS HQ) 

Then also to throw a little more diversity, there could be Strategic Airforce and naval bases that would give advantages to those that hold them. Making them hotspots for confrontation and encouraging competition. 

It would be a challenge to stick about 200 players in a world with mostly water though so that'd still be an issue. Especially with scarce villages and limited population but that could limit people from amassing a lot of ships at the same time. 

Thoughts and ideas to expand upon this? I'd like to hear more of what other people think. Have solutions to some obvious faults? Reply

New map is under way. At some level, it meets your ideas mostly. Meanwhile, we inserted a dozen of new units which will surely change the play style. Let's look forward to it.
