The bottom line here is that the number of fights will not increase without an increase in the number of subscriptions.  If HTC can't attract new subscribers the doors will close.  I see no advertising for this game in any of the media that I watch, I asked my nephews (6) of them, in that 15 to 25 age group and they have never heard of the game.    I see no desire  on the part of the game provider to offer something new to a potential customer to induce them to subscribe.  I've been here a long time and aside from a few changes that HTC imposed to control game play alone the way, essentially the game remains unchanged and we play with the same basic rules that we have always used.

There have always been Hordes ,  but at the same time there were so many more subscribers that the horde went pretty much unnoticed.  Today with so few subscribers, the horde accounts for a larger portion of players at any one time.  So now there are people who claim they can't find a fight because of the horde.   

Oh and I guess the furballs that I see aren't two hordes mixing it up, but rather are considered individual combat?  To me it just looks like two hordes on their side going around in circles. 

I think HTC are waiting until the new terrain engine is released (and perhaps some separate updates that go with it), before they make any commercials.

If we have something to show we will & do post shots, if we have nothing new to show we don't.

YES.  

And it would only take one simple game mechanic to do that: Aircraft Basing Limits. Once the number of aircraft in flight from a base hits the limit, additional aircraft can't launch from that field.



Zone limits will not stop a hoard attacking a base.  Zone limits in Air Warrior (exact same system that you're describing) didn't stop the hoard, it's not going to suddenly work and stop them in Aces High.

No, it's a petty, childish way of playing. What the Bish did today is why they are considered the crap of the game.

Oh how we forget so soon. Several months backs rookettes/nitwits had bish down to the 3 uncap bases and the was not a fight to be seen on the rookette/nitwit side. So lets see, who is childish and the CRAP of the game??????

Several months ago there was one exception and bish had to enjoy their own medicine for a short period. Boo-hoo.

    It's just a result of the current game dynamic. Bish have become boring to fight for both Knits and Rooks. So the Knits attack the Rooks(are you kidding me) :x to get a good fight going and the Rooks don't have enough players to fight on two fronts(again, are you kidding me) :x. I likened it to WW2 Germany.
    Many Rooks just could care less the Bish were rolling bases. They found fun Fights at the Knit front. There is no penalty for losing a Map anyway. Who wants to spend the night getting bombed or vulched on the runway.
    Lets Change the Dynamic of this game and force the players to engage in combat.

    How about the holy grail that all players want? Fighter Perks! Attach Fighter perk bonuses to Ammo Bunkers destroyed and then more players will go out of their way to "Stop the Horde by Porking the Ord".   :aok

So you're suggesting that THE HORDE should be divided into smaller groups?

No just do away with the goon, m3,all gv's, troops, killing town, killing fh/bh/vh, bombs, lvt's, killing strat, killing hq, cv's so all these guy can hold hands and find the never will never happen again 1v1 fight

And it would only take one simple game mechanic to do that: Aircraft Basing Limits. Once the number of aircraft in flight from a base hits the limit, additional aircraft can't launch from that field.

It could be scale-able based on arena pop, so that it isn't quite as limiting when large numbers are in the arena.  It could vary by the size of the field, making large airfields more valuable/useful (something that doesn't matter strategically now).   It could have a timer before the loss of a plane is deducted from the "in flight number", meaning the first lemmings to die can't just re-up immediately.  This might make survival more important and give an incentive to defenders to try to attrit the attackers.  (Make this exclusive of bails without damage, to avoid abuse.)

There are lots of advantages to this as I see it: spreading out the fight, giving defenders a viable chance at defense, and most importantly placing importance on staying alive instead of augering into a hanger, as losing an aircraft has an impact on your operations.

Implementing something like this would spread out the fights some and incentivize surviving vs. suicide/kamikaze/bombnbail type play.

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.
