Why three countries?

[mthrockmor]

would it not add to combat if we had only two countries? I'm sure there is a reason for three. Inquiring minds want to know.

also, what if the maps were more narrowly designed to channel more activity? Again, I'm sure there is a reason.

A few ideas to increase combat.

I wonder why your Aces High related threads always appear in the OClub instead of the General Discussion forum? 


That being said, HT has tried all possible combinations. According to him, 3 sides worked best.
And that's very reasonable, once you have a certain minimum activity, 4 countires balance themself most efficiently. With only 2 sides, it's very easy to end up in a runaway situation creating a constant underdog. With more than three countries the dogpiling quickly becomes too one sided

Having spent some time in the military the O'Club is where we did our best BS'n about everything. We saved the world dozens of times. Why would I want to save the world in the 'general forum?'

I thought your 190 threads or this particular "3 country" post were about Aces High, for which the General Discussions would be the right place. As per statement, Oclub is for off-topic discussions

190's are awesome

I think the same thing every time, but I was too polite to say anything

That's the one thing that everyone knows about me, I am very polite

Being German, I don't suffer from such inhibitions  




Sorry, forgot the disclaimer specifically for Ten60:

I always thought Aces high would make more sense with Spades, Diamonds, Hearts and Clubs.

Mention a 190 and Zach comes out of hiding. It's like his 6^th sense.

Daily 190 topic search?

Same reason America should have three party's, democrats "rooks", republicans "bish" and AMERICANS! "knights" 



It makes it so one side cannot dominate the other with B.S. or numbers.




But a more simple answer is the rock paper scissor thing, one attacks one side, while the other attacks another side,and that side attacks the other side. make it much harder if not impossible for one side to over power the other side by numbers. Unless the democrats and republicans gain up to over throw americans..oppse..alreadys happens.
