i brought this idea to gbotto's attention and he told me to make a poll about it

it goes like this, you have specify where you build your factories and reserach facilities, so other can determine whether if their planes can reach it or not... to calculate mileage from city to city use this::

more complicated, but more realistic

I think its good, but the challenge will be getting all the ranges for the planes, but once we have all the ranges down, attacking places will be as easy as looking at a map, calcualating the distance and then posting your raid(s)

its up to you guys (the players)

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!

Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!

To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

you could jsut fly planes to bases near your borders to refuel, then fly to the target...i dont think it should matter what city they start in...too confusing

HELLO HELLO

This idea could be improved. For example, I don't like how we have to tell where we are building out factories. That is just kind of cheap. I got an idea though.

What if we made something like "spies". You can buy a spy for .5 or 1 credit or something like that. For each spy you buy and you look for 1 thing on 1 enemy's country. Like if I bought 1 spy I could find 1 factory in Germany or something like that. But posting that information in public would mean everyone else would get to see where that factory is also.

So I'm thinking maybe we could announce how my "spies" we buy. Then if we want to spy on someone we could PM gbotto or something and tell him who we want to spy on. Gbotto would then get that information privately from some person and give it back to me. Gbotto can not tell that person who is spying on them though.

hmm sounds good, but wherer would a person keep a record of where they build their factories? hmmm now that i tihnk of it, they can PM or AIM MSG me when they build a new factory or research plcea and i will keep a record of each facilites location

hmm i like the spy idea, maybe also in the modern war game (the next one) we can use spys and spy satellites

ok, so what is the general consenus? do you guys like the idea of real ranges for hte planes?

Errr gbotto, IMO we should start off with pre-set alliances, (Axis, Allies, Neutral) cos it would appear that everybody has allied himself to everybody else.
