I'd be curious to see how Trinity would work if you took an overlay of the map with cutouts for all the fields for each country, and just rotated it about 15 degrees, so each front had several bases on the landmass of their front at the start.  Maybe it could be worked out that getting enough bases to win would be pretty much 'kicking them off your island' on one side, and making a significant push on the other.

The problem I see over the course of a day with Trinity, is one side will make significant advances hording undefended bases.  When that side runs out of momentum and/or a bunch of the horde members log, the other side hordes them back.  Repeat.  That's why it stagnates most of the time, from what I've seen.

Would you call that Hordulation?   :D

Hordeonomics?  Hordination?...  Not quite sure... :)

The intent behind Trinity looks to me like it's designed to be tough to get a foothold started on enemy territory.  Once you do, it looks to me like it's designed to require a solid defense to push a front.  It's a neat idea, but the problem is the majority don't go looking for tough things to do, and it's rare to get a side's people who enjoy defense on at the same time as the people who enjoy offense.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

The fact that the initial push is next to impossible without hugely lopsided numbers means that most of the time the map stays as though it just began.

If you win back territory you hit a brick wall as soon as you try to maintain momentum and start hitting native enemy fields.

It's the same situation as the 300 spartans faced when invaded by Persia.  A force of 7000 Greeks were able to defeat between 100,000 and 300,000 persians simply by using terrain as a funnel.

I'm still not doing another sortie until that map is gone.  I'm that fed up with it.

If it resets back to trinity I see myself cancelling my subscription.

The problem with Trinity is it takes skill to take and hold bases, not numbers. Very difficult to NOE over the mountains. Once the NOEs along the shore are done the attack falters because they haven't the skill to push forward. The bases are soon captured back resetting the front and allowing more NOEs, and then the cycle continues back and forth.

Should a horde make it over the mountain with enough players still in the mission to take a base they don't have the skill to hold it while also trying to push forward to create a bigger beachhead/front.

Missions are spotted easily and so stopped easily. We need more skilled player than we need maps  :devil
