I wonder if that gives too much power to the beacons. For instance, wouldn't it be smart to just stack your armies on a beacon and bombard the other players out of the game? Maybe that's the point but being able to bombard any other territory seems too much to me.

i believe beacons reset to nuetral at the start of the holidng players turn similarly to arms race

For example you could bombard/one-way attack other towers from viewing platforms such as CN Tower 8.
I'm not sold on the killer neutral/bombard everywhere of the beacons... there doesn't seem to be any logic or real-world rationale behind it... My random idea (that I'm not too sure how you'd implement) is to add in some elevators... so that you could skip from the 2nd floor of the Eiffel tower to the 8th floor or something (as you can in real life )... In fact, a killer neutral elevator in each tower would open up the tower and might solve the complete linear play... Hmmm... the more I think about it, the more potential I see in this idea....

I don't know that it would work here like that but you could do a gameplay idea where any tert within a tower can attack any other tert within a tower (theorically using elavators to navigate up and down without having to draw in the elevators). This leaves choke points on the ground of course but its better. Maybe someone can take this to the next level too.

And if they dont suck then they blow.

i return to the original list of suggestions:
Airplanes (discarded due to historical implications [oops ])
Telephone/electrical wiring (i realize it doesn't actually stretch from skyscraper to skyscraper, but...
the Tube Transfer system used by hospitals and etc. *my fav. seems most logical.
Parachuters which start on one SPECIFIC floor and can either attack one floor located lower down a neighboring building, or multiple
I'll also add some of my own new ones:
a helipad at the top of some buildings and all helipads can attack each other
snakes and ladders (while i'm at it, this could make an interesting map... ) kidding bout the snakes, but.....
snipers (path of the bullet = one way attack)
ummm... that's all i've got, but this list shows, you don't have to use bombardment much less have a terit that can bombard everything else...
