[MRP] Afghan Base Reimagining

[Ziggy 1,353]

This is a small suggestion, specifically for @Nutter to look at regarding changing up the Afghan base in future map iterations. On the current map, we are in an RU base. On Omega, we're in a base that is more streamlined to look like a middle eastern FOB. For future maps, I'd like to take a step away from both of those designs and emphasize the rag-tag nature of the Taliban. 

 

Not here to nostalgia cope, but Afghan base from cscdesert is what I'd like to aim for in future map iterations. I think bunks, structure, secure walls all around, and towers are all elements that should be absent from Afghan's next FOB. 

This was recently suggested which inspired me to make this post. I'd love to have civilian interaction blend with our current ROE on the server and I think this would work really well with an Afghan base that was designed as simply as an old village. Here are some screenshots of what Afghan base looked like from cscdesert:

 

Here are some pictures of various things IRL that I'd like to replicate as Afghan's new FOB:

 

Basically give Afghan a mud village. It's cool aesthetically and can incorporate civilian life into it. Move their base design away from what US looks like on any map. Let me know what yall think.

+1, the whole issue IRL about Afghanistan is that the Taliban tend to blend in with civilians. The aesthetic of the mud village is exactly what I think of when I think of Taliban.

Easy +1
Fits the aesthetic for AFG.

I like this idea not just because cscesert base but yes it makes sense for the Taliban to have more of a blend with civilian life. Taliban aren't meant to be an organized fighting force that has concrete and really nice bases. Love the idea!

+1, 

I think having these baseswould really make Tali base vibrant, and having a vary rundown desert-esque kind of base really adds to the immersion as well as RP.

+1 if we are going to keep Tali Vs US we should be having a US style base then a Tali style base. Could also be cool within the map for both the US & Tali styles of the world mixed into a map or something idk

In all honesty, I was always gearing towards making embassy into a town, or maybe shipment (on the map Delta) but the idea of simply converting the afghan base into a village is so fucking unique that i'm absolutely down to do it on the next iteration.

I don't play MRP but might have to hop on just to see this when it is implemented.
