I learned how to play AH in the outnumbered situation. My first 6 months of Aces High was on Rooks during their most outnumbered period.

i was a rook, then, too...


now apply the post-learning curve experiences as a knit, or bish.

i mean, didn't you just claim you prefer to be outnumbered?

c'mon, risking that precious k/d for a tour or 2 would only be a mere blip on your record.

Does anyone (else) remember when Rooks were ALWAYS outnumbered?  It wasn't all that long ago; they developed their Joint Operations out of desparation to fight the hoards of knits and bish.

On the other hand, if you wanted a good fight, you went after Rooks.  With a few exceptions Bish were baby seals compared to the Rooks, who got reset with regularity and fought back from a couple bases almost as often.  For all the grief I gave them, I also had a lot of respect for those guys.

Finally some of the varsity squads changed to Rook to help even the numbers.  Some of the JV changed to fly with the big guys, and numbers tipped to the Rooks.  Once that happened the DweebSquads went Rook to be with the numbers.

Knights are in the barrel now.  Big deal.  You learn how to fly when the odds are against you.  As a group, the Knights are better at quite a few things than they were back when it was the Rook's turn, despite arguments to the contrary on green.  Once numbers start to shift again, and they will with or without HiTech having to write code (pretty elegant solution if you ask me; nicely done Dale) it will be someone else's turn.

For the people who try to even the numbers, or those who stay through feast and famine, .

As for the rest of you dweebs, keep on doing what you're doing.  My score needs it.

Puck you are mistaken on one thing, I did write code then also to change perk values based on country balance.

True statement.  If I remember right, though, that didn't have a huge numbers impact even if it was cool.  It wasn't until some of the big squads started announcing their switch to Rook the cascade started.  Wish I could remember who had the testocular fortitude to change first; I know it wasn't us (VMF323).

you must have your head up your A*** because lately rooks arnt getting ANYWHERE, even with 90% more numbers. But then Rooks are more skillful right? needing a 5:1 advantage everywhere.........
