Small arena suggestion, One uncapturable base
« on: April 11, 2011, 10:19:20 AM »
These small arenas hit a road block because after you capture one base you are confronted with an uncapturable base. It narrows down game play too much in mho. Further, you start getting a horde of 163s and that is no good. Couldn't have been that many.

So what are you going to do when that one uncapturable base will be all you have left and it will be capped? Or if the hangars will be down?  

The odds of it happening on two bases are a lot lower.

If you are down to one base, most likely you've already lost the war. There was no winning the war in AW.

if youve got a country backed to their uncapturables, thats maybe a hint to go hit the other country, if you want bases.

I would agree with that except on the current map, green stamp, the path is almost blocked by one of the uncaptureable bases. Just one choice. Further it only took about 2 captures in one direction to get to that point. Then on that map you have those really high mountains in the middle. Yeah there are ways around it for sure. Still it funnels down to a one base path. So at that point it becomes a contest who has the largest horde and not so much strategy.

the green map your referring too only needs 4 bases from each country to reset.   so that is the 3 vbases and 1 airfield.  You do  not need to capture anything near the un-capturables.

I still believe on small maps this is an idea worth considering, maybe even 2 uncapturable bases instead of 3 as a compromise.
