rooks blew it again this morning
« on: June 17, 2008, 05:58:51 AM »
we were defending a base in the orange arena this morning it was 4 against 10 to 15 nits. our vh was down. i had to spawn in from another base in a wirble. i got some kills but was bombed big time.  problem ; no other rooks tried to spawn wirbles to defend the town and field. the support from other bases in the air was coming in one at a time. thats nuts 11 on 1 in the air. with coordinated effort we could have held that base for hours. if the tables were reversed the nits would have held that base for a week. rook start working together and fighting smart.

You could always get on country channel and politely ask for help.

No. There would exactly the same gnashing of teeth and whining, this time on knight countrychannel. It's universal:

"That sucks! When will Knights/Bishops/Rooks learn to pork?"
"LOL! We suck! Look at the Knights/Bishops/Rooks - THEY are organized"
"Why do WE always get all the n00bs only"

yada yada yada

I would recommend taking the RELAX pill and an occasional visit to the other AH "nations" to broaden one's horizon.


BTW, I'm always puzzled how some little generals do think they will get more support and better gameplay  with constant and regular cussing and insulting of their own team.

Did you have relatives or business interests in that town?

I probably do more defence of fields then anything, when a field is being attacked I will type on country channel for assistance, sometimes i get help, other times i don't. Love it if I get help, but I don't freak when I don't. Just do what you can, but don't get upset if you lose the base, there are more bases to protect or go capture.  :D

Yes it's a particular style of leadership that's for sure. Not quite to this degree but always a laugh just the same.

ya, there are many people here who could care less about what base got taken. :noid   Guess the war isn't that important afterall :noid

what we really need is a one person on every team to allocate assests.  Everyone in the country will have to go wherever they are told to go.  This should be determined by rank....because they are the most elite of everyone :noid.  That way, instead of blaming an entire country for being idiots, letting a base get taken, not fighting in the right places, score whoring, etc., we can just focus on that one person.

You are probably right, if you had more people, maybe save the base.  If you had even more, you could go take an enemy field.  You didn't, oh well.  Might as well relax, nothing you can do about it.  Many, rightfully so, don't respond to the armchair generals demands..many don't care at all about what base gets taken and when (god bless'em).   while the citizens of v23 may have been liberated from your rule, don't worry, some day you might be able to crush the revolution....unless there is a conspiracy :noid

True!
I will usually type "ALERT xxx" on country and the usual suspects will show up to defend. If my bish brethern don't get there in time... oh well, we lost that one... there is always the next one to capture/defend. There is an up side to loosing a base to a light attack! That would be that it doesn't take to many of your countrymen to re take the base. The town will stay down for a while so a light mission can de-ack, cap and run troops in quickly with a LITTLE coordination. Either way it is not the end of life as we know it! It is after all a game.

I'm sure he will take you up on that offer.  Just as soon as HTC concedes to his demands and reinstates his vox and text privileges before he cancels his account..
