A fight consisting of only squad members and all 3 of them ending up to other side despite only 50% of squads are moved? Astronomically far fetched.
'Astronomical'? Hardly, Ripley. Ok, it doesn't even have to be all squaddies. Say 10 of them are individuals. What's preventing all 10 of them from being moved to the second arena? Answer? 'It's unlikely'. Go to any system designer anywhere, Ripley. Find out how far 'Oh, that's unlikely to happen' gets with them. If it can happen, it has to be accounted for.
Oh right so you think right now when ppl stop upping a capped field and another field gets attacked, nobody will move to defend? Really?
That's not what happened, though. The entire enemy force just vanished in front of them. They know they're still doing their thing in Arena 1. Why are they not going to go back there?
Because only half of the squads move. Would be very unlikely to all move away at once.
I reiterate, unlikely != impossible. If it happens, what are people going to do? Answer, go to the arena they just left. There's nothing stopping them.
You dont get it lol! With an even split no side will have a "better" fight.
I just showed it kill 2 fights. Your system does nothing to prevent those circumstances from happening. There is no more to say to that.
Your way of thinking is solidly stuck on the current setup where the two arenas have a totally different numbers and state of war. Im sorry but it seems you do not know how to think out of the box.
No it isn't. I'm envisioning the arena as it looks on any given night, with local number imbalances across all fronts. Your way of thinking is assuming that all numbers are equal in every battle on the map, and that after the split, through sheer luck, both sides will have retained enough people in all areas to continue the fight they were involved in, and people will be ok with it. The shortsighted optimism is staggering. Again, go to a system designer, ask him how far 'it's unlikely' gets you.
The last quote sums it up. Only 2 sides to a split - ive repeated the 400 treshold 5 times already and you still missed the Mark.
I'd been operating off of an arena of 400, you then said 200 to 'a side', I thought you meant 'per country' which was different from what you'd been on about before. That's why I asked for clarification.
