I present to you my trigger system for deploying helicopter-borne reinforcements to a player-selected area. Here's a little scenario I've built around the system: www.mediafire.com/?fycb697om185j1l

Very interesting. I have developed something like this but not to this scale. A fun little scenario, but it does not have to be helicopters, it can be practically anything.

Yeah, pretty much. However it works best with helicopters.

Almost anything is possible with EE editor, and it is more simple than most people think. With just 30 triggers it is easy to make a good scenario.

Indeed. However those need to be some really master-crafted triggers. Only an exceptional designer could weave together all the effects of a truly great scenario into so few triggers, methinks.
Otherwise, 100+ triggers are just fine, as long as they work right. Also it is much easier to apply small tweaks if you have all the effects spread out onto many triggers.

Yes, there are some scenarios with 200+ triggers, but the number of triggers does not mean how good a scenario is. I know some scenarios with 20 triggers that are better than scenarios with 60 triggers. It all matters how the triggers are made. 100+ really good triggers will make a really good game, probally.
