What type of trees are on the map?

What type of trees are on the map?

Does it vary? By map or different types within the same map? Why do they all look the same?

Does it really take more time for your LGM to cut down the hardwoods? Could it be that there isn't lag afterall? It's harder to work with the hardwoods (so Acro tells me)... do pillboxes made with hardwood take longer to destroy?

The guns are made of various alloys, which remain after the wooden structure has been destroyed. The pillbox roof is made of softer, lighter wood types; like pine. Since all fired shells follow a ballistic arc due to gravity; it is the roof that gets hit first and fails first. Hardwood is used for the gun mounts and runways for recoil, as well as the supporting framework of the pill proper. The pills could be operational after the structure is destroyed except for the fact that the lgm operators inside are either burned to death or blown apart in the process of destroying the pill. Also interesting is the fact that an lgm can carry up to 8 guns and 8 operators on his/her back simultaneously as well as build a pill instantly, but that is not the focus of this discussion.

I'd also like to comment that only Acro's cheap lgm's (I know Acro, it takes longer for the good ones to parachute in b/c of high demand) make the roofs out of weaker woods. My lgm's (I order the premium kind) built all parts of the lgm outa Teak (nice and hard-but expensive and rare. It's only Acro which acts like a cheapass. C'mon Acro, get some REAL lgm's and materials. At least your pillboxes aren't made out of cheap plastic like, Jason#8's(little cheapo).

P.S. DAllen makes his pillboxes out of hardened poopies (I couldn't resist the temptation)

To answer ACro's comment, before LGMs parachute out of the invisible airplanes in the sky, they are supercharged with 58 or so cans of coke, that's how they build so damn fast. :D

1. There are assorted varieties of trees on maps, usually maple or pine, or other hardwood trees (I dunno much about trees)

2. They all look the same because it would take too damn long to make 5000 million different high tech tree textures for a gd text-based game.

3. Yes, it takes about half a millisecond longer, but since LGM's are all on caffeine, and can do anything fast, it doesn't make much of a difference.

4. It turns out that ALL COMPUTERS never "lag" at all. You see, your computer and your internet connection act like a big furnace, which generates energy via a large bonfire, fueled by tree wood. There are little LGMs inside your computer that cut this wood 24/7 (it's grown in miniature forests which are seeded constantly in order to be replenished) to keep the fire going. When someone farms a tree in winbolo, the LGM must quickly zoom out of your computer (while caffeine charged) and farm that tree, then come back quickly to continue fueling your computer. Sometimes this causes a momentary lapse of movement on your computer and internet connection, thus slowing other people's connections. Therefore, every time something "lags" ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET it's not because of a bad connection, it's because some damn noob is farming trees excessively when his tank is already full.

5. Everything blows up when it is hit by a missle, regardless of how remotely strong it is. :wink:
