Uncaptureable fields.
« on: January 27, 2007, 07:07:05 AM »
Well having tried it now -

1) Isles map - It's possible (very difficult) to reset.

2) Lake Uterus - Will NEVER be reset.
Because of the position of the uncaptureable fields it means leaving uncaptureable fields in your rear.

Now that we no longer get weekly resets I guess were going to get Lake Uterus from now on, as both LW arenas now have it up.

Unless of course someone can come up with a way or resetting Lake Uterus, but I'm not holding my breath.
I've looked at the map, ran various ideas on it, and IMO it can't be done.

Sometimes wonder if some of these 'improvements' were fully though through.

[edit] It may be possible if you have 3-4 times the numbers of players of the other 2 countries.
Ooops no its not your then Spads v 262s and slingshots v Tigers :)

Oh ENY - Can you at least make a planes ENY value MEAN something? (No problem with ENY limiting)
At the moment they are all over the place. You have 1942 planes (Hurri IIc for e.g.) being limited before 1945 planes (i.e. 190D9).

I'm sure The bish can manage round the clock porkage of un capturable fields.  Then Run some 50+ missions to take the rest of the fields required one at a time.

In the case of Uterus would you think that the amount of bases is too small???    I think so  but if they put the big maps back in it will just give people more undefended bases to capture.   whatever way they choose people wont like it.

I liked it when all fields were capturable, it makes it silly to not be able to take some key fields

I think the biggest reason to have them is so that the one side that gets picked on (nits)  still have a chance.  Forcing the hordes to attack the other country inevitably makes it a fairer  (3way) fight.

Rather than the war being a race to see who can get all the fields 1st the two powerful countries have to fight each other as a requirement rather than an afterthought (oh watermelon they have more fields we better take a couple before reset attitude)

If all bases were capturable, one country would be wiped off the map before the other two would turn to fight each other to win a reset.

Look at the positioning of the uncaptureable fields on Uterus.

It makes it impossible to reset it.

So as there are no weekly resets anymore, better get used to it.

Its just me, but I enjoyed it more when all the fields were capturable and also when you could actually pork the fuel down to 25%.

Come to think of it, the very small towns in AH1 made sneak captures a little more sneaky.

Interesting idea but one monster mission might just end it all very quickly.
