Horde

[ScottyK]

 (thinking outloud here)  in the mission creation box, maybe have it that if the bombers exceed 20 or 30 then they automatically go to single buffs, this might create more teamwork in bombing, but on the flipside INCREASE the horde.

 but on the flipside INCREASE the horde.

This is about as true a comment as it gets above.

Every time a thread we need to do something about the hoard starts & changes are made to rectify it,guess what they get only worse.

More troops needed,more base acks,acks in town,more hangars on V bases,more guns at ports,lower radar altitude settings,increase radar ring range.

Like it or not the harder it is made to take a base by putting up more obstacles the bigger the hoards.

 :old:whine same thing the city was 100% to hard the flag  was not change color ok HT gose to 50% the flag change white when ready ? then the old  whine starts again to easy the horde is getting to big cannot stop the the base take so HT gose to 75 % ? now someone comes up with the very old whine again base take to easy  nothing to see here move a long

well, logged in today and nothing's changed/ knits+bish hording rook bases east and west.
not a pleasant experience fighting at multiple flashing bases.. to the point you cant even keep an eye on one v-base flashing being sneaked with vh's up.

why should a rook keep paying for this?
whats been drawing me back to AH really just was brooke's email about latest scenario. other than that. bleech.

the state of AH HIGH gameplay is pure SUCK.

stop this nonsense and make it a two-country map, instead of offending a third of your player base with your stupid map set-up.

cancelling acct. happy new FAIL.
might sign up again when next scenario at least offers a good/realistic plane set.

other than that, HTC, your MA ARENA is nothing more than arcade hording. but i guess that's what pays your mortgage.

Man up and and fight!

The solution is for the auto ack to not automatically pop up once a base is captured.  They should be regenerated based on the same timer they were on before they were captured, but allow the other side to resupply the base with goons.  

I really really like this idea.

You know I have flown with the Knights for over 2 to 3 years now.  Up untill a few months back it seemed that the Bish and Rooks ganged up on the Knights.  Probably just perceived.  Biggest thing I kept hearing was that the Knights could not work together or organize any type of offense to take bases.  Well guess that changed.  Sucks being on the other side.  I fly all sides now and can only say I got to live with it until the other countries get their heads out of rectal defilade and fight back like in the old days.

Yep.  I was a nit for 3 or 4 years and we were usually outnumbered, at least during US prime time hours.  I guess Skribetim didn't notice the steamrolling last night when teh bishies lost all their captured rookie and nitwit bases in a few hours.  Massive hordes on both fronts.  But of course, only the rooks get ganged!

 Yes, even the poor, persecuted    rooks horde.  They can horde with the best of them.

Sorry GHI, we all can't fly as well as you. I know I have trouble fighting 5-10 vs 1. Hordes suck, no matter which side they are on.

Then why fight them?  I keep hearing this game is only about the fight from all the old timers so which is it, the fight or win the war?  Sometimes you just can't have your cake and eat it to.

There is no reason to up against a Horde.  When the horde strikes, go find another fight, I do it all the time.  The only people who should have any concern about hording are the win the war folks.  The ones who just want to fight can do that just about anywhere.  If you are only in the game for the fight it doesn't matter if a country gets a base or not.

I can see the future.  The anti horde folks will complain, so the game will be tweaked for the defense.  Then the offensive folks are going to get bent and start complaining about how it is to easy to defend, so they complain until the game is tweaked again.  I wish AH would put out a book explaining all this stuff so everyone knows what they are suppose to do.

People talk about tactics in this game like it is some real life war.  This game is simply several hundred or thousand folks that just want to do it their way.  Which way is the correct way, I let you in on a little secret, my way is the correct way.  Think anyone will disagree with that?

Why do the non win the war types care so mach about horde's rolling bases?

I either dive in knowing I'm going to die but likely take a few with me or I go somewhere else.  Either way who cares?

The problem I have with that is wheres the fight? Even with my poor aim I can pick guys all night, but it gets pretty boring after awhile. If you try to fight a guy even if you get lucky enough to drag him out aways from the horde you had better finish him quickly because 12 of his buddies are on the way( most likely because he's screamin like a little girl for help  ). Even so, getting killed a bunch of times gets boring as well when you don't seen to help slow anyone down.

I like to fight, I don't mind winning the war type play as long players are working for it. If players are working for it then there are fights ebbing back and forth. A horde is just a locust attack eating up field after field.

  Make it so the side with the most numbers, or the side who is grabbing the bases the quickest, has its strats enable to where if you bomb them it affects every base they have. Shut down the ammo factory no bombs for 30 minutes etc. That would weed a few away from grabbing bases and have to defend their strat, and give the other teams a mission worth doing.
