When each country as aprox the same amount of fields, things are staying balanced.
When one country is getting down to there last fields they start getting swamped. And hence are not having much fun.
Now the players in that country start looking for fun else where. Hence they change arenas. Once the numbers get to imbalanced we are stuck in a dead lock. Players do not want to be on the lower side because they feel like they do not have a chance to fight back.
Note I in no way assign any blame to anyone, it is just human nature to respond this way.

The solution. Provide a way that even if you are loosing the "War" i.e. short on fields, your still having fun.
One thing that will help is having some fields that can not be captured, so you can still fight back.
2nd thing that will help is a change to the victory condition, so instead of the low on field country still getting hit, the winning country is forced to attack the other country.

then if thats the case then why not just make it if people are gettin upset and they log cause their losing then deem it as that country surrenders worked in france they gave up they lost to a losing battle and award the team the win simple new map starts all over,so in order to prevent being called french stand on your feet and fight even harder,one thing i learned in the army was a 12 man special forces team can hold off the assault of a 1000 charging men whats wrong with these other countrys dont they have the back bone to do as well or should they just have the mentality of hell with it its not fair im goin to another sand box to play,seems a while back meaning a few month ago,the rooks would steamroll everybody in the arena now before the flames start im not pointin fingers at countrys,over and over and over again,then the knights would win one,and once in a very very blue moon the bish would get one,ut now i have seen changes where rooks that were rooks at one time have changed countrys to the underdog to get the perk advantage for being undernumbered and since it seems better players from rooks came bish it has seemed that now the bish are steamrolling map after map after map,just my honest opinion.
as homeboy has stated you have 2 types of people in this game the "gamer" and the war sim "kill all destroy all" player which causes friction between the 2 so heres just and honest opinion along with homeboys opinion that could solve this as he has stated.
1)keep two arenas one for furballers no captures no hanger destroying etc.
2)the other for the kill everything including bacteria type player.
it would solve alot of arguments over you bombed our vhs at tt what dweeb would do that wtg on ruining our fun or
wtg ho newb learn to fly learn some acm or you hoed me on the merge that aint fair your not supposed to do that waaa waaa waaa waaa and the crys continue,so no matter what you do to the game the whiners will still cry if ya keep them together with everyone so just seperate the 2 and let them play their own game this is what ya do with children so why not with adults that act like children furball one side,,,,,and destroy everything in the other.........Corpse:lol
also on that note for those people on one country wanting to change side to a winning team make it so you cant change side for 30 days instead of 1 hr 3 hrs or 12 hrs
