If people didn't care about the war the dueling arena would be full.
What players who don't care about the war really want,is to pad their scores vulching, I've seen Knights cap a base and make no attempt to take it, just indulge in a score padding vulch fest.One bunch make a habit of it.
It's their 15 dollars,if that's what they want fine,but I'll be voting with my feet,and moving to Bish or Rook.
No matter what some players may say,if they took away base capture, toolsheds and strat,to leave a Desert landscape and Ocean,tumble weeds would blow through this game for lack of interest.
