And with a 2 sided war, when one side gets bigger than the other and starts winning, then what? Will you want a one sided war?
Everyone fights drones?
There is not perfect answer, in wb we had 4 sides, and very often we saw big imbalances.
The current 3 sided system is a big improvement, and seems to me to be closer to balanced in numbers than anything I have seen before.
Often, short sided people complain that in AH, their side is getting attacked by the other 2 countrys. Guess what? That is the same for the other 2 countrys too! All three countrys are continually fighting a 2 sided war. This prevents the game from deteriorating into one big furball.
Its not perfect, but it aint broke either.
