The solution is real simple. Re-designate the country names to Uno, Zwei and Kolme,

Uno country is filled with all Aces High subscribers.
Zwei country is filled with AI defenders.
Kolme country is stocked full of sheep.

New country names. Side balancing is equalized. And, harmony to the universe is achieved again.

We just need fewer gripers. I guess when you can't stand up to your wife, you have to come here to complain.

No need for this, I think many have gotten so close to this online game they cant see the forest for the trees anymore, step back and objectively take a look, you might not like what you see

I would love the ability to switch to the low numbered country as I am ONLY here for the AERIAL fight. However, I lead a group that likes the teamwork aspect of the game and the 6 hour side switch limit makes switching to low numbers as a group  difficult to manage without stranding folks.

Proposal: Get rid of ENY...when there are more players on one side then make the planes that do not require perk points be perked. The whole BS about moving to another country (Bish, Rook, Knit) is stupid. People who play this game are loyal to their countries for the most part and it is totally ridiculous to ask us to move to another country to not have as high of ENY. OR, move to add one more country to 4 that would help balance things more. HTC every Bishop like me, feels the ENY model is not working and you know it! When you start to see many more people leave the game, you'll know one reason why, we cannot even fly the best planes in the game, thats why!

Rediculous is being loyal to one chess piece when you seem to be having no fun in a game.

You do realize chart shown is at between 1:00 and 3:00 am

do you expect 130 people to play 24 hrs a day?

people have to work people have to sleep.

this where people are supposed to switch sides to even things out. but they won't do it.

POTW moved to rook to get away from ENY. Rook all sound and act like knights now to my squad while I never realized just how much the knights play just like we accused the rooks and bish of playing the game when we were knights.

What may really kill this game is selfish inflexible players who create lame excuses for why they are limited to very narrow choices while scapegoating Hitech as their victimizer to justify away their lameness.

Actually: Yes.

Back when I started playing AH, numbers hardly dipped below 100, this used to be around (Euro) noon (=US late night).

If everybody would play against their own country for one week, they would find that their wonderful allies (and themselves, if they would only see it) do most or all of the things they complain the other teams do.  HOing, ganging, running, steamrolling, vulching, et al. 

They would also find that their "enemies" are just like their friends.  Rivalries are good for the game but country loyalist fanaticism isn't.
