Different Starting Point's

[Morning Star]

This may or may not be what you were thinking, but i had an idea for a different view(angle) to battle's. Instead of the standard, "your on top on bottom" fights (hehe sounds like something else) you would be able to fight with starting either on the left or right of the board

Example:

X X X X X
X X X X X
X X X X X
X X X X X
X X X X X

Lets just say this is the board (crappy i know) Anyway the way that we fight now is where the Blue squares are, my suggestion is to be able and fight but going left to right on the game board where the orange squares are. The same way we do it now would still apply but we would just have the option on where we would start. Hope that makes sense. I feel it would add a different flavor.

Nice Idea :) I like it :good:

This would be such a waste of time and programming. Honestly, the angle on which you start does not affect gameplay whatsoever.

[Morning Star]

I think it would be good idea. People are so accustomed to playing the same way over and over again. A different angle could be refreshing

And yet, the facts on how it would actually affect gameplay stand strong. Eventually the refreshing part of this change would wear out, too.

Then we could go back to top and bottom and it will be refreshing yay...;)
Still I do not see the point of this. It is not bad, but it is not worth it really

Well i was just looking at it and have had some games where I've ended up having to move all my guys the left or right of the board and it almost looked like that's how i started the game. Anyway it would be just a different perspective to the game.

Why not just ask for 360 degree panability? Hell, make it all the way around, up and down, and zoomable!!!

Hellz yeah! Lord knows the TAO coding team is made up of dozen of top line programmers that will do anything we ask.

Hm....after seeing your thread in GD, something tells me you're leaving TAO and trying to get banned.

Why do we even have a search function anymore? No one ever uses it. This was the best example of this idea, though certainly not the first time it was suggested. It was disliked back then as well.

Thats a sweet idea! If the coding team is as good as you say they are this should get done asap!

lmao allstar.

Good idea. Too much work.

[Kreator]

It's a good idea,I just don't see the point of starting in a new area instead of the defualt.

wait wait wait. sometimes when i play top i look at stuff way different then on bottom. sometimes i see stuff better of top then on bottom. maybe that will be the same way with the side to side. i think i would do better side to side so i think this is a good idea.

Yay for pessimism! Yay for squashing creativity! Yay for facism!
I hate these forums sometimes, the guy had what he thought was a good idea, damn. "What a waste of time!" Screw you!
