Conflicting interest was our 1st attempt at dynamic mission objective MP, which includes transiting and the requirement of reaching safe distance unharmed. CI includes(among other things) both directional and two-way transiting, but it sounds like what you are doing is two-way transiting.

3MP beta is part of a 688 strike mission spanning over 3 maps. Basically more of the same w/ variation but the design technique is more refined, simplified and accurate than before. I’m canceling this project for LWAMI and will restart this project to support RA mod only…

After a couple of years of testing, 4.5 hrs does work, but only with the right people involved. The best thing to do is start a poll and find your audience for the design.

Really, you don’t even need to go that far, just ask fellow players their opinion and take it from there. Either way, even a longer scenario wouldn’t be a problem as long as everyone involved are in agreement.

Personally I wouldn’t mind a 6 hour scenario, it’s just that I really don’t have as much time as I would like to have these days. I would even design a 6-hour scenario if I knew people would play it. Hopefully that will change when RA is released.

Good luck, enjoy
