Thanks.
Instead of Barrow, how about if I put in Prudhoe Bay? it may be smaller, but to me I;ve heard of Prudhoe Bay more than Barrow, and there is a road that runs from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay.
I've got no horse in the battle. Only suggested Barrow because of its extreme nature--I actually figured it was more well-known but makes no difference to me.
To differentiate the connections between Honolulu/Anchorage/Los Angeles and either Fairbanks/Nome or Anchorage/Nome, I think a heliport would be good.
Heliport for the Northern Alaskan territories probably makes the most sense. Not to complicate the matter, but you
might want to make Tok-Great Falls a helicopter route, since otherwise it's the only connection that goes over Canadian land. That might not be a concern or it might mean too many heliport graphics, though.
I'm leaning towards the Fairbanks/Nome connection.
I've only spent very little time in Alaska, but it seems to me this makes more sense than Anchorage-to-Nome.
Now that I think about it, I can add in Barrow as well. That will give us 7 cities in Alaska, 3 connected by heliport. Sound good?
If it's not too crowded in the north, sure. But wouldn't that make 4 of them connected by heliport? You would need Fairbanks as a base to go north, then you'd have Nome, Prudhoe Bay and Barrow. That's 4 heliports in Alaska (and that's ignoring my Tok-to-Great Falls suggestion). That might be too many. Maybe just put heliports in Nome, Prudhoe Bay and Fairbanks and allow them all to attack each other. Then connect Fairbanks to Anchorage and Tok via road.
