A game for those who don't like hoards.

Thanks for the link and our lawyers thank you too, though I'm sure Paul Neave might not

Personally I enjoy it when they bring the fight to me. Saves a ton of time flying to the fight.
The biggest problem we have in game right now is the lack of peeps willing to actually fight.
85% of them look behind themselves while following you and when they can't see at least 4 friends coming to help, they turn back.
Easiest cure I can think of for that is remove score entirely. But of course that'll never happen.
That particular evening I was racking up at least 15 kills per hour and had a great time. Sure I died alot but who freaking cares.

Does the horde win maps, yes. Who wins all the maps. Nuff said.

[Lusche]

Does the horde win maps, yes. Who wins all the maps.

Tell us.

[RotBaron]

I just did.

[Lusche]

I just did.

I might be mistaken (English lessons in school are long ago and I never really payed attention), but if "Who" is referring to "The horde" (which you seem to imply), shouldn't it be reading "Which"?

Each time I spend a tour on Knights, we are being horded by the BishRook alliance most of the time.
Each time I spend a tour on Rooks, we are being horded by the BishNit union most of the time.
Each time I spend a tour on Bishops, we are being horded by the Rook-Knight pact most of the time.

So either all of AH is conspiring against me.... or all sides do it when they can while eagerly pointing fingers at the others the rest of the time.

Are you telling me that player numbers are conspiring against us also? I remember the 'good old days' when numbers were regularly something like 80-50-20 with bish-knits-rooks being the split. The bish basically had twice the numbers of the second largest country and four times the number or rooks. This meant that the bish were steamrolling two fronts and the knights who werent defending against bish were attacking rooks together with bish. Many days you could see no red bars on bish/knit borders despite the staggering numbers.

Please stop making stuff up. The numbers are actually never "like that', and Bish are frequently outnumbered as well.

I have never seen any alliance.

What is it with you people? Are you too stupid to read and comprehend what I typed??? I never said ANYONE has to play my way!! IDIOTS!

Lets look at it this way should HTC change the way the game is played so much that you couldn't play the way YOU want, would you continue to play/pay? I don't think so. So at this point as the game continues the way it is it is driving more and more people away because THEY can't play the way they want.

Don't you think there should be a compromise so EVERYONE can play the way they want? Or do you just want it to continue on the way it is until there is a single horde running around grabbing base until HTC closes the doors?

I'm sorry.

You are right and every single other other person who plays the game is WRONG.

HOW DARE THEY play the game in any way that disagrees with you.  WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM?   Are they all so stupid that they don't read the "AH Gospel According To Fugi"?  All players need to bow and kneel to the "way of honor" you speak  OF and everyone else is WRONG.  Ad infinitum--ad nauseum.

HOW DARE the other players have an opinion, style of play, money, subscription, on their own.  They must all be insane.  Especially the words of one who states the does not dictate how others MUST play the game according to them--and then in the next sentance belittles anyone and everyone who doesn't play like you do. 

Keep up the incessant whining, crying, and bellyaching.

I give up.

Yes and since YOUR way seems to be a great way to diminish AH user base you can continue playing the game the way YOU want and WE others stop subscribing and move on. AH will be the private playground of a bunch of hordelings and spawn raped 2 weekers that stay as 2 weekers.

Dear whiner:

Please let me know wher some 300 player's $15 BUCKS A month subscription will go to be PAID ON YOUR DIME so they canplay exactly how you want them to.  Please  be advised if you cannot scratch that monthly check you will have to come to the eventual conclusion...
that YOU...do not, cannot, will not force hundresds of other players too play how you want them to play and you doo not, even in a billuion years control how other players play their subscription.

Or I can post that again as manyu times as the whiners post the whining.

Pull up your big boy pants and play the game.

You will not, can not, shall not change other players right to play their on sub.

But keep Kleenex in  business anyway.

Good Luck with that

[MrGeezer]

BTW: until the day comes you can back up your mnassive assumptions with 100% accuracy in perfect polls of perfect data of what whining you claim is "destroying the game"  "destroying gameplay"  "destroying the fight:"l....then please ADMIT PUBLICLY that what you state as truth is merely your own personal opinion and nothing more.

My opinion is just as valid as anyone else with out prooful data.

By prooful data I do not mean areana populations.  It means TRUE DATA POLLS of at least 25% OF THE PLAYER BASE BY POLLS.

Let me know when you have that proven data.

Feel better?

OK for the really old, stupid people I'll spell it out for you....

Please post where I have said anyone has to play the way I said.

This is where you clowns get it wrong. I never said anyone has to play MY way. I have suggested many alternative ways to play this game that seem to be ignored (the ways to play, NOT me doing the suggesting....just trying to keep things clear here). Instead of seeing these "other ways" you see the same crap over and over. While I don't spend my limited time in the game keeping hard numbers like Lusche does I do have a good memory and know what I see week after week. And the numbers we can check out are continuing to drop.

If the game which has turned more and more toward horde missions is so good, why aren't people staying and playing?

My opinion is that as more and more often we see ONLY one type of play and people are getting bored and so leave. Whats your theory? My SUGGESTING other ways to play isn't TELLING anyone they should. I think they may find it fun and challenging, but maybe they don't have the skills to play any other way. GHI, Joker and who ever is running the Alchemist missions are most likely looked up at as great mission leaders on the Bish. I wonder how they would do if they had to go head to head instead of just looking to grab bases. As another SUGGESTION, pick 5 bases along the front in a group with the mission for the next 5 hours to capture and hold them bases. And let the guy on the other side KNOW you are going to try and do it.  Are they good enough? do they have the skill to pull it off? Do they have the balls???? or Are they afraid of a little competition? Well they go off saying that isn't how they play the game?

To me trying to do the 5 base thing would be a great night and be far more fun than rolling a bunch of bases with little or no effort. I think if you saw more of those kinds of missions you see more and more people logging in JUST TO SEE what was going on. Just in case they might miss something.

On the other hand if running horde missions is the game plan that's ok too..... as long as there is a counter to it that is fun. It is a game and we should be having fun. Make porking troops and ords fun. Put their name in lights for dropping them and RTBn. Give big perk/points for it. Have an early warning system to give defenders a 5 minute warning to get into position and grouped up for an attack.

Just because you think the world is out to get you doesn't mean its not
