Base change at end of war

[flapsup]

Why do the bases all change at the end of the war?

[Mustaine]

when a map starts, or resets, the countries are randomly assigned a part of the map.

it is rare, but it happens that they are in the same spot as when the map started, but like i said rare.

No, I mean when the war ends and in the chat it says for example "Knights have won the war" why do the bases change then?

I was defending my base when the war was declared won by one of the countries, the base I was defending at wasnt taken, twn wasnt even all dwn.. but another base was taken that counted for the win. All the bases flip-flopped position on the map then my own base started shooting me, and others on my team in that area.

[Dichotomy]

not to sound like a real smart A@# but it's because your chess piece came in either second or third.  

These things happen

[flapsup]

Ok, I understand all that..

But logically why? the whole thing restarts again in 4 min, with a whole new map, so why the change for the bases at the point of the wars end?

Im sure its not only me who was flying around, or in a gv who was defending and then killed by their own base, it just seems like an unecessary thing, no? If not please explain its importance in the game during that last 4 min.

Its just how things are. They were like that way back an AH1. Its just how the current map resets before the map change

Anyways HT has it there for a reason. Probabally for his amusement while watching some tard that has 10 kills from vulching that is just about to land suddenly get chewed up from ack, therefore running to the boards and crying like a little girl

If I remember correctly I'm pretty sure that all of the original bases of the losing country become the winning country's bases which allow the winners the bonus of landing.

It's been so long since I saw a reset I forget what I thought the protocol was for the other two but whatever it was it seemed consistant.

please re-read what I stated.

the map resets.

countries are re-spawned in random positions of the map.


yes the arena re-boots, but that is to put up a new terrain, as you can not load a new terrain while one is up.


to re-iterate and make sure you are not given mis-information, there is NO order to what country get's put where. there is no "winner gets position A" because they could capture the "reset trigger" base anywhere. it is a RANDOM positioning.

the Map rolls to the next country listed in the Reset setting ... It doesnt go by whom ever wins the war ...

[Krusty]

The fields are given default countries when the terrain is built.

Only it gets REAL old if the same country gets the same "pie wedge" every time.

So every time the arena loads a map it randomly rotates the teams ON LOAD.

So when the war is "won" the map "resets" to terrain-default layout. Since the on-load random rotation is "random" it does occasionally happen that the reset on winning the war is the exact layout as before.

It's somewhat rare, though.

All they have to do is live for 4 mins, and that sortie does not count.  If the sortie ends short of the terrain change, it's scored.

Im sure you know that karaya, just sayin.

It is just a remaining "feature" from old times when the maps did not change (boot players out) after the war ended. The same map remained with randomized starting locations.

Why are the countries still randomized for those 5 or 4 minutes.... because they have not changed it.
AFAIK, there is no actual reason why the randomization should still be used.
