My squad would never bend their knees to a Knight Central Command.   -1

good luck to anyone who wants to try though, organising knits would be like trying to herd cats :D

+ more than you know.

You think this type of system would help the game, go talk to the crickets at WWII on line, the high command ( selected brown nose players) organized the fights, where to fight at and with how many resources to use, you start the battle, playing the game according to how the "high command" thinks you should, the fight starts stalling out you call for more reinforcements from " high command"  they say NO  and to RTB they have decided to already fight at some other town and allocate the resources there.  I still have my account there with a rank of General in almost all the persona's you can play, i was asked to be part of command at times and always declined, it's not up to a certain group of people to tell others how to play a game that each individual pays for his own account.  i think if you try that here your going to see a mass Exodus, go talk to the crickets in the other Game

But who is in charge of Central Command?  Do we have a General worthy of the job?

Where is DrDeath when you need him?

when you go on missions... i think we have currently let the leaders do the thinking for us.. we just do the flying... they pick the particular targets for us to drop...  they chose what alt they want.. they chose the plane... what do you do when you dun like either variable? you either make your own or join another rite? or maybe fly another plane but still join mission..this is not about bowing to a certain person or group or committee... this is abt getting a pool of people together to have fun via a certain mission wizard system. like you said everyone pays for their own acct.. you dun control gameplay.. you control the resources to where it is necessary and never again will you ever fly alone...... but thank you :salute.... i will have a look at them and see what i may gather to help us in anyway...

That's the problem you make when you build huge hordes. You don't teach any strategies all you teach is how to roll a base with huge numbers. No skill, just huge numbers

Taking bases with 20 guys or so gets the job done, and is more fun for each player as they get to help.


You don't need a central command, you just need a good squad.

Forgive me Des, but I am just talking before thinking here.  Not to mention it is bumping my post count.  The Pigs have friendly squads within the Knights that we regularly interact with trying to achieve common objectives(68's, CH's, and some other great folks).  The missions are rarely if ever published.  The swine prefer to blaze our own path, as this allows us to be stingy with the red guys we find. :devil

I vote for Corky........all those in favor say "I"

You don't vote for Kings....

Arthur: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that?

Woman: King of the who?

Arthur: The Britons.

Woman: Who are the Britons?

Arthur: Well we all are... We are all Britons... And I am your king.

Woman: I didn't know we had a king... I thought we were an autonomous collective.

Dennis: You're foolin' yourself. We're livin' in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes...

You don't need a central command, you just need a good squad.


so hording is a big issue for you i see.. and maybe you rather fly in small squads.. take maybe 4-5 bases on a good day.. and you prob also expect the defense numbers to be small.. cos if they aren't and you dun't take bases.. its called hording...well i dun think many new guys or even old guys will call organising a hording a bad habit...this game made anti-hording impossible... they tried splitting arenas cos we have so many whinners out there...so now with the 1 arena thing... i'd like to see you not take part in any horde...  cos if you come over and attack with more then what we have for defence.. its called hording...sure taking a undefended base with 20 guys is easy.. but a responsive 20 guys who up to defend against you... its not going to be an easy lunch for sure...as for teaching the new guys.. i also realised we taught many of the new guys today during the long auto pilot climb flights today... they will learn first hand how to dive bomb,.. how to handle cerrtain situations... most imptly of all.. they get to learn and maybe become future mission leaders... true we need a few good squads... but generally.. we need everyone to help... score and perky hunters aren't left out... i can assure you... there will be lots of action...

that young "let's winz de warz" hero man is where you are very wrong...the only people who truly enjoy hordes aren't old enough to shave yet, or they fly bishop, or both...

in the mean time, though your idea may work for someone like yourself who thinks he knows how to take a base better than the 100 or so guys who have been doing it for many years...and for the lemmings who believe they need to fly in a horde under the leadership of an armchair general...the majority are generally of the "do your own thing" mindset.
