Flying Monkeys are already in the game judging by the results I am getting from my pilots.[8|]

I'm enraged by high altitude flying monkey sweeps. Totally unrealistic.

Two comments:

1. The "make it attractive to the ladies" thing has been tried before with deplorable results. Remember the movie Gettysburg? Pure testosterone and a great, great movie. They tried to draw in the ladies with the sequel, Gods and Generals, and it was awful.

2. How about a Rotisserie League? It would be pretty cool to select ships, LCUs, and territory in a draft.

We could try something less intrusive like painting all the submarines pink a la Operation Petticoat.

Yeah, but the poor sucker that drew last would be stuck with a bunch of HDMLs, Nates, Claudes, Wirraways and Burmese infantry. [shudders]

How about micro transactions ? Buy a pimped Yamato for 4.99$ or for 9.99 $ your ships have unlimited fuel and stuff like this.

I like this idea. For a monthly 'Premium Account' you could unlock bonus features. Upgun your cruisers to 12" weapons or load your destroyers with the mighty nuclear depth charges.

Or maybe buy T-54 tanks for the Soviet advance through Korea in 1945. Or for the Japanese the V-2 rocket carrying submarine. Or even the space battleship Yamato.

Agreed. No upgrades except if you pay for them.

On second thought I guess we better keep away from the marketing departement with this views. [:'(]

We need also some sense of adventure. Imagine moving a division in china and the game tells you" Your troop found an ancient cave in the wood.There are old statues and the growls of monsters can be heard inside.Do you want your troops to enter the cave ?" Y/N
If succesful your troops might find stuff like the Sherman slayer AT gun or a +3 AA gun.
