defeat the hoarde...easy

[AWwrgwy]

Is this a hoard issue or an "I want to be able to capture bases easier" issue?

You don't -need- a hoard to capture a base, it just makes it easier if you use overwhelming force.  If you really, really sneak a base, you can do it with three or four people.  You just have to hit them unawares and do it fast.

This just sounds like a misdirected thread complaining about something everyone hates in order to get something they want, quick, easy base capture vs. anti-hoard.

every 30min? ......not even possible

Seems to me that what is proposed could be achieved by lowering the % town buildings destroyed to about 50 -60% however to make it so that some teamwork is required i would increase the troops required to about 15 (which is just an easy Arena setting to the maproom hardness).

yeah lets up the ack so the buildings are harder to take down,(already implemented)  then make it so you do not have to take them down.

It is a vicious cycle between devs and the horde,

The devs can only do so much when CT must come out in two weeks, and the ehorde  (tm)  will whine about anything available, it makes for an interesting relationship.

It makes me want to call the "Wouldn't It Be Cool If" Police.

I think a couple manned acks in town would be usefull.

The best way to stop a hoard is to pork their field.  

No troops, no ord, no fuel, no hoard.  They will move on.

Make a map with a big pond in the center with 3 bases and 3 V bases along the big pond and only make those bases capturable.

I am closing in on playing this game for 6 years, and I never remember just taking out the ack and then drop troops for a capture. Granted, the towns back then were very small, but all the buildings had to be down for the capture.

There were a couple of "special" towns where you could do this on Baltic and one other map IIRC.  A couple of guys like rthus knew all of them.

Obviously an exagerration but I'm sure you get my point.

there is no way to stop the horde...human nature dictates the easiest possible route to "victory". The horde will find a way, period.  However making it harder will force more teamwork (meaning more numbers) thus begatting a bigger more centralized horde. Wich means more targets in a smaller area, Annndd finally an even more lopsided fight than there is now. With all the enemy concentrating on one base.

I think its pretty decent as it is now, at least you still have multiple fronts.

My concept is to break the action up into smaller unit actions ....a hoarde will not be needed to capture a base...therefore ...less hoarde's will exist ....this will make for more action for all types of players.....bombers Gv'ers...fighters

Great idea!!!

We could spend all our time waiting on the server to load the next map, because they would be reset about every 1/2 hour!!!

most map resets take about 1-2min....time enough for you to fetch a cold refreshment! ......no map can be reset in 30 min! ...relax ....

The hoard is just part of the game it comes it go's. It is supposed to be a ww2 sim game so if hoards of allied fighter's were not ganging air bases over axis field's it may have been a much longer war. I say leave well enough alone. My 2 cents is in.
