Hello all,

I got my brother into the C&C games.  He is now in love with it, but often
asks me when the ships will be brought back.  He is thinking of redalert 2
when he states that.  I told him that give it time, they will bring back the
ship battle aspect of the game.

Am I lying to my brother?  Does Zero hour have any ship control to add on to
an otherwise cool game.  I plan on buying it probably today as it is now
24.99 at the local Best Buy.  Also, Is there a good addy someone has for
"large" maps for LAN games.  I have a site or two with maps, but they dont
often get too big or are more for online multiplayer and not against AI
opponents.

Thanks group,
SL

Are there even any "rumors" of adding a naval aspect?  I liked that part of
the red alert series.  It made it a little bit different as far as tactics
went.

Last I read the designers don't like ships, the fear is that in a two player
game, you could destroy your opponents land force, but he destroys your
navy. He can't get your land troops, but he won't let you, or you can not
afford, to build a new navy, so it ends in a stalemate. That is why TS had
no Navy, just amphibious units.

surely they could come up with some sort of system.  Maybe make a navy
dependent on a land force somehow.  Maybe a fuel depot that navy's must use
that are run by land units.  So, you could not have a total navy part alone,
but one that can still be lethal.

It just made the game more well rounded I thought.

I agree, I loved the NAvy in red alert. RA2's carriers with proper support
were awesome against any target in range, which they should be. I believe it
is just the personal bias of the designers against haveing a Navy.
