  • Map Co-ordinates
  •  

    Playing earlier today I was holding a tower and asking for aid.

    They asked me where I was. Couldn't tell them clearly.

    It would have been much easier if when you opened the map it had co-ordinates. What do you think?

    You know what would be the most awesome? Military grid reference system

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_grid_reference_system

    Or maybe both?

    I was thinking a more simple system of A1, A2, B1, B2.

    The ability to drop flares as markers on the map? I understand it would get a little confusing if all 16 players dropped their flares at once, so maybe limit them to one per player, colour coded, and lasting 15 seconds or so?

    No not flares but map markers were suggested in another thread. It's like a grid system on the map.

    Like this:

    Indeed.

    If only there was a way to "mark blocks as objectives (which will appear on the map) as a means to easily rally players."

    That's a good idea tons0phun. In fact, just add a new special block on slot 6.

    -Looks like a red cube. (maybe with fancy exclamation mark texture)
    -Only visible to your team.
    -Indestructible.
    -Left click places, right click (anywhere) erases.
    -Only one can exist per player, you make a second one, the first gets deleted.
    -On the map, it shows up as a little box with your player number on it.

    Haha yes, a more simpler grid based system like A1, A2 etc was what I meant. Didn't really read the wikipedia article. I thought you meant cordinates (like x245,y120) then I'd prefer grid system.

    With the lack of voice chat, maybe some quick commands tied to you objective marker also?

    Maybe 4 commands, Attack here, Defend here, Need backup, Need builders, each tied to a differently coloured marker? In case you didnt notice, i have a boner for coloured markers.
