I'm not suggesting the reality of the game and true warfare are 'alike' in any way. But, there is a psychological commonality between the two insofar as we are protraying warfare and actively playing a role in it, experiencing fundamentally similiar psychological and emotional impact during the adrenalin charged fighting as in actual combat with the obvious lack of the threat of imminent 'real' death. Being 'under fire' as it were in Aces High , under constant disadvantage, has a unifying effect and creates a cohesion of thought and purpose that probably would not come into existence otherwise.

I agree with ya Zazen.....

Ahh.....I remember the days....Rooks down to 3 bases.....

Talk about hoards.....I forget who it was but posted stats for the countries (players, kills, etc) which showed just how the ROOKS did not always have the numbers...goes in cycles it seems.

I personally HATE the gang banging that goes on at times...I am a ROOK thru and thru....but it gets old....BUT I also hate it when it comes from the other sides.

Valid Tactic.....and if your side can get the teamwork up to do it...then I guess good on ya.

PS.....you can switch sides and go right back in the Beta Version....I did that yesterday...snuck to Bish cuz they were way outnumbered.....shhhhhhh dont tell any one;)

Last night I faught the R00ks. I have to say I wasn't impressed with their fighting.

Co-Alt 51 vs 51 runs to the deck, drags me over ack (ack isn't as accurate it seems) then ducks on the other side of a mountain trying to reverse only to die.

You know who you are.

ITS A GAME GUYS.

If you die you wont really die. You just get to start over.

So dont be afraid to turn a plane once in a while.

It might be fun even!

Last night I watched a dozen or more Knits hit several bases defended by no more than two or three Rooks. About 1/2 were flying perk planes.

So when I see whines about hordes, I wag my head and think, "pot-kettle".

There were some excellent hunting areas to be found on or near the center island, yet away from the hordes. All you had to do was patrol along the ingress routes used by the under DAR milk runners for lots of action.

My regards,

Widewing

Last night the Nits enjoyed a huge numeric advantage, there were 20 of us and only 35 Rooks. Gotta give credit to those 2 or 3 who left the hoard to defend there bases.

You say the kindest things!

I have never held the belief that one side was worse than another in regard to any game issue. All are as bad.

Morpheus · « **Reply #24 on:** June 05, 2004, 05:23:09 PM »

Besides its beta. Everyone is drooling to get a kill for the most part and whats worse is the fact that many are so fearful of dying they will do almost anything to evade death. ie. run for the cover of their field full of ack, drag to as many green guys as posible and then throw you an " GF" after him and his 4 or 5 friends get through. I predict once beta is done with and AH1 is gone forever the hordes will become bigger than ever before.

You will now have a mass of skeerd little pieleets who dont want to die and who are too afraid of testing the limits of their abilities. The simply will want to fly around under the cover of their mother goose aka their other horde friends and stay as far away from danger as posible.

You think the horde is bad now? pfft. Wait a week or so.

The Lone Wolf is about to become a rarity unlike never before.

I hate most everybody, Squaddies not though. I despise Cooley, Laplanders, and Bish. I love poking fun at that bish Kommiekazi squad 9typh . It isnt a rook thing in beta( a rook thing would be being 20k before you even cross the front lines) Its going where the horde is. Oh yeah I dislike Pizza therefore when I kill an AK I giggle like a schoolgirl.

Yup, and for every person like yourself there are ten who instead developed and intense and enduring loyalty to Rooks as a direct result of that experience.

thats funny morph, i was fighting knits this morning and i wasnt to impressed with them either. had a 109 do a few turns, till he lost advantage then ran, was in good 1 on 1 with spit, niki and 109 came to his rescue... point being, this kind of stuff is not inherent to one side or another, so i really dont understand why even specify one side or the other in this kind of stuff.
once again, my worthless 2 pennies.

As stated many many times before in the past, all sides have hordes.

But we, as people, just need another reason to complain.

Really?
Couldnt tell ya the last time I saw well over 200 Nits or bish on all at the same time. I do remember seeing a few times when rook numbers pushed close to 300 though
Yes all sides hoard to a certain extent, But Never to the extent I've seen the Rooks take it.
