Uncapturable Bases....

[Larry]

I'm fine with the idea but what I was thinking about last night when defending our base from a horde coming out of one was should they have troops enabled from them? I mean if we can't capture it why can they capture bases form it. Mabey the only uncapturable base that should have troops is the Me163 base. Some people my say ths is'nt fair if the country is only down to those bases it would be harder for them to regain thier territory back, but I say if they let it get down to that why should we have to defend against an endless horde with no end unless they take our base or we destroy thier hangers. Even then they'll be back up in 15mins. So why punish the people who are winning the game. Why not punish the people who let thier base count get so low.

"Uncapturable" is not "unporkable."

So, if you don't want them to have troops, take them away.

MOMMY! MAKE THEM STOP SHOOTING BACK!

I believe that if you are down to the last three uncapturable bases of one country, it may be time to move on to the other country.  I mean, you've already dwindled one country (most likely the lowest numbered) to three bases. It's the other country you need to take from to win the map. Taking troops away from the 3 uncapturable bases gives that country no hope of ever regaining bases. So not only do they have low numbers, they have no troops to help regain any ground.

Seems fair.

Wow this is turning into another tard thread. How about if you don't have anything intelligent to post dont post. E25280 like I said you can pork and kill stuff on the bases but it does'nt stay down. Rep0man Thats what I;m talking about but you can't jsut goto the other country if they are attacking your bases and trying to take back bases while you can only defend agenst uncapturable bases and your country cant put its full forces into trying to win the map. I said how about only letting the Me163 base have troops.




Edit: If they are the lostest number then odds are that ENY has kicked in and the winning country is at a bigger disadvantige.


Seems fair...........does useing half your numbers defending your base with no hope of taking the other country down so the map jsut stays up another week.

By porking the base I do not mean taking down their hangers.  Kill the troops.  Kill them on all uncapturable bases if you can manage it so they have no source for resupply.  Then their troops will be down for 45 minutes at least.

The front line will likely be beyond their strats, so get people to take out the training camp and city while you are at it.  Then you have about 3 hours of not worrying about them taking a single base.

Of course, your enemy will then all log out due to the frustration of not being able to regain any territory.  That would probably send your ENY to 40, but thats a small price to pay for total domination, right?

Um last time I looked taking out the VH and BHs is jsut like taking out thier troops. But like I said porking doent do anything but delay them takeing the base. I'm talking about distroying a country but still having to fight them to keep them from taking back your bases and because you cant take the other countrys bases the map stays up forever and gets old. But I already know the "I know everything" answer your ganna say "go to the other arenas" well some times the same map is up in the other arena and they get old real fast. Im just trying to suggest that why should the country that is doing good have to be held back from changing the map by a country that they alreay beat down.

If you're the horde country, then pork the fields, and the factories, and the cities. Then, they don't have troops, and it will be a long time before they do.

[Larry]

But why should we have to do all that if we dont get anyhting in return?

If they are down to their last three base, it would be safe to assume that ALL their strats are toast.

Take down their city, trash their grunt factory, then take out all troops and supplies at the fields and if I am right, they won't have troops and supplies for 3 hours.

Thats not a bad return on investment.

Also, if your country has decimated another country down to only it's un-capturable bases ... then your country made stupid decisions on what they needed to attack and capture.

They obviously ignored what they needed to do to the other country ... this usually is the result of your country smashing the weakest country cause it was easier than trying to take bases at the country that could equally oppose yours ... and they probably did the same.

If the war is not won before a country get smashed down to it's un-capturable bases ... that only shows how stupid some of the strateegerist in this game truely are.

So now that the country has been smashed down to it's un-capturable bases and they then get numbers that can oppose to smash-down and gain a foothold back in their territor ... u want them to automatically wallow with no resource to make a comeback ... why ? ... cause you want/need the 25 perks ?

1) If you've pushed them so far back they're at their uncapturable bases, they don't have many places to up from, they NEED to have troops enabled at these fields to fight their way back (and re-take fields).

2) You have to put up the effort to constantly defend the field you've just taken this far into the enemy's territory. No shortcut around this. You can't take a field a sector from the enemy's HQ and not expect them to throw 50-100 players at it to retake it. Only thing you can do is pork their nearby fields and defend it. Often can make for a good fight.


I'm definitely against this, as quite often knits are pushed back into their uncapturable fields with not much else. These are "safe havens" so to speak, and from these havens you need the ability to retake other fields and once again spread out. Otherwise, what's the point of this game?
