    UU for America

    Well why not have the Minute Men as the UU. They can be drafted during war, without having to have the required Civic.

    Mercenaries?

    Why not be able to but them from other Civs? Have a way of designating a unit is available as a Mercenary and then have them appear as an option in the Diplomatic screen. Then you could buy them from their original Civ. They could have an upfront gold cost (perhaps a gp cost the same as their...

    CTF Petition for BF2

    http://www.petitiononline.com/ctf1012/petition.html This may be of interest to some people here that like to play in CTF mode. I have already signed (and I am not above asking others to sign even if they don't particularly like the format) to improve the chances that it will be included...

    Battlefield 1942

    Bots are almost completely useless at amphibious attacks, they prefer to drive around in the damn landing craft until they get sunk by a plane or get into the destroyers but then rarely fire the guns. I am redoing the campaign as the Allies with everything on Impossible and a 200% ratio. I am...

    Battlefield 1942

    Omaha is one of the best maps to train as a sniper if you play the Axis. What Gainy bo says is mostly true in almost every server I play Omaha on. Usually breaks down to guys with clan tags attacking and the rest sniping. Try going Axis and stay in one of the bunkers. I learnt to...

    Battlefield 1942

    There is nothing as enjoyable as Sniping another sniper, especially on the larger maps like El Alamein. You just know hes spent minutes running into place only to get killed as he sights his first victim and has to run all that way again. I also like sniper because of the death animations of...

    Battlefield 1942

    I remember something like this in an old Amiga game called Commandos. If you, and your squad, made it through a level alive then they got promoted. Promotions granted more speed, accuracy etc and better adherence to orders. This would be unfeasable in BF as its damn near impossible to live...

    Battlefield 1942

    I agree the damage rating is too high for falls. A shot from a sniper rifle does 1/2 damage if not to the head but tripping over your shoelaces is fatal? The bots using the parachute trick is annoying as hell. Only in planes would make sense but would rob me of a very valuable option. How...

    Battlefield 1942

    Several ways around this. Run 'uphill' When going over an edge that is higher than you thought or when you mean to, simply turn your perspective around and look up the slope you are going down. You will rarely take damage no matter how high the slope is. Parachute Jump over the edge...

    Medieval: Total War?

    Look at your sig? Forget the sig look at his avatar! MTW is an awesome game especially with the Viking Invasion expansion. There are plenty of mods out there that can spice it up if you find it too easy or want a change. Don't have AIM, but if you go to Clan Berserk they have an excellent...

    MTW: Viking Invasion Succession game(s)

    Glad you like it. Add the Woodsmen to the Byzantine build list, I just noticed I forgot to add them. I didn't do anything about Seige Weapons because they are almost exactly the same as the original game. Some of the prices may vary because I also noticed that I forgot to figure in the...
