Cut down X-large map bases/Rearrange HQ

[Phoenix3107]

On maps like compello, tagma, trinity, etc., there seems to be too many bases for players to go through to attack/defend. The HQ also seems too far out for anyone to get to properly take out.

Maybe by taking away the excess bases for each country in these maps, and rearranging the HQ to be somewhere closer to the strats(say maybe 1 or 2 sectors away from the strats) could make gameplay much more enjoyable, whether it be this version, or the AH3 to come.

You want it to be easier to take out the HQ?????

Practically speaking, yes

But if being on a huge map set for hours on end is your thing, with no end in sight until the next 12-hour switch comes around, then hey,it's just a wish gone wrong.

Tbh, I've been hearing about this type of stuff for only a couple of weeks or so, and just recently looked at those maps, so I don't have much insight on how it could play out.

You did mention Trinity, I wish we had trinity back. OH yea.

You would think knocking the HQ out would be a tactical advantage. Unfortunately it isn't used that way. While dar is down you would think as many as possible mission/attacks would be happening under the lack of dar/detection. However when dar comes back up there are no or very few attacks discovered. Instead you might find another lone player homing in on HQ just to do it again.

Taking out HQ does nothing but "hide" the enemy attacks/movements. If it isn't used this way how is it going to make capture the map/win the war better?

I think you should wait until you join the fun for a while before you try and make these suggestions.

I have not drug this one out in a while, but this wish deserves it!
