FAQ - READ THIS BEFORE POSTING AN IDEA

Do you have the next great idea for Afterwind? Are you thinking of posting it here? Did you already post it here, and find your thread locked? Well chances are someone else had the same idea before and it has already been addressed.


Automated unit movement and Rally Points - I want to be able to send my units out quickly, etc. etc.
Rejoice, rally points will be implemented soon. http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=727 We're working on waypoint system too http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=216&board_page=5

Custom or Changing County Borders on maps - It would be really cool if there was a map of world war 2, harry potter, etc....
Sorry, this takes too much time to implement, so probably not going to happen anytime soon. However, we may add different groupings of countries in the current maps. http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=204&board_page=5. Also, there are scenarios, where you can rename countries, etc but not edit their borders Implemented!

New unit ideas - Ok, so its like a tank, but....
Chances are it won't be put in, but if you still think its a great idea, post in this thread only, Dont make a new one! http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=68

New Strategy ideas - So, it adds stealth transports with 20 range, and 100 capacity and then....
If its a realistic and not overpowered one, post in this thread only, Dont make a new one! http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=273

New Upgrades ideas - You should totally add a stealth general upgrade!
Ok, so if you have a good one, post in this thread only, Dont make a new one! http://www.afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=900

Extended time games - Hey, my buddies and I would like to play a games over a few days/weeks
This has been suggested, and will likely eventually be put in, but is not a priority as of now. http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=335 - Implemented!!

Terrain/Geographic Features - Make Mountains for us to fly over, rivers for us to sail, forests for us to hide in, and deserts for us to dehydrate in
Probably not going to happen, but thanks for contributing - http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=157&board_page=3

Canals - Make it so we can sail through the Panama/Suez/etc Canal!
You can already! Click carefully http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=750

Splitting Countries - I have this great idea to make the US into 50 states! Or why there should be a north Mexico!
Sorry, all the countries that are going to be broken up have already been done. http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=158&board_page=5 Yes, we know about India. Its on purpose.

AI/Single Player and Downloadable AW - Can you make AI for me to play against in single player mode? Also can I download the game to play it offline?
We have AI planned, but it's rather low-priority at the moment. We're not planning to make a downloadable version to play offline. http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=5&board_page=2

Refueling for units - Can you make it so planes/tanks/whatever have to stop and refuel instead of unlimited range?
Amok has had this idea, and it might be implemented in the future at some point http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=148

Add Fullscreen chat support!

Tweaking Country Populations - hey, so according to my brilliance (i.e. Wikipedia), there are actually this many people in ...
We started with the intention to make the game very realistic number-wise, but quickly realized that realistic numbers don't make for a very good balance. - http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=41

Custom Units in Scenarios - Give different sides different units!
Its been suggested and is something they are considering - http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=1782 Implemented!

Don't be discouraged. If you have a good idea that hasn't been posted already, post it. A lot of game features originated as player ideas: Guerrilla Warfare strategy, subs having transport capacity for marines, the Generals unit, the in game "friend list," and so on. We appreciate your suggestions even if they don't make it in ultimately!

Nice post could you start the tedius task of linking these ideas under catagories so any new stuff is easy for people to see if its been posted and adressed?

Updated

The idea for custom units I posted about already. And they did implement the idea of having each player being able to recruit only their units, and they did implement it.

So in other words, remove this from that list: "Custom Units in Scenarios - Give different sides different units!
Its been suggested and is something they are considering - http://afterwind.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=1782"
It's already implemented.

GREAT idea, Terminal (& anonymous posters)!

Game options should not be allowed to be changed once the game has started. That is a topic that needs to be addressed. Whether your the host or a player. This needs to be reviewed, altered, and implemented. Whether I am the host of a game or a player there is nothing more irritating during a game then getting spammed with game option changes. And why? Why is it even allowed? Is it not cheating to change the rules in the middle of a game? I realize that players, including Mods. don't bother to always follow the Atwar rules, or treat people with respect or even speak politely to each other in open chats, and yes I have seen Mods. do all the above. But when a host sets parameters for a game, why are people allowed to screw the game over by changing the options? It's truly absurd. What other game in the world is there, where the rules change on the whim of a player during the game? Between that and the lack of civility in the open chats, and the lack of Mods. doing anything about such profane, and vulgar language or behavior, this game is being trashed. A pity, I really like this game.
