I reloaded oldmans setup table, it should be back to normal...


I think someone reset the map, since there was no word on the server reseting today.

In hopes that the people who read these boards aren't the porkers, let me ask for some assistance here.

First, as most of you know, there is no winning the map by taking bases in AvA.  The result of acquiring a country's bases is to pork the map until one of the staffers can come along and fix it.

Second, as I understand it, all AH maps must provide for three sides.  The clever AvA mapmakers usually squirrel the third, non-playing side's few bases somewhere off in a corner.  So it is with Tunisia, where the Rook bases are down in the lower left.

Put these two together, and you have a situation where someone sees the few Rook bases, thinks "Hey, I can win the war," captures those bases and porks the arena.  While we are trying to work on some way to make the Rook bases impervious to capture, I suspect that we can't.

So:  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if you see someone attacking those bases, ask him to stop and explain why.  In extreme cases, where you have determined that the attack is not an innocent mistake, but a deliberate attempt to pork the arena (it happens, as we all know), remember that killshooter is off in this arena, and SHOOT THE LOUSY CREEP DOWN.

Thank you for your kind assistance.

I believe the game engine now allows for the concept of uncapturable bases.  Don't know how difficult the implementation of these options are, just saying this could be used to keep the arena functional while still allowing for some base taking.

Oh, that's why there's griefing in there.  I thought it just a glitch.
