1. Knights are always outnumbered. Ive paid close attention the last 3-5 days, and its consistent. It seems to be a larger disparity when Rooks/Bish are both invading.
This goes through phases over the years. A while back it was the Rooks who were often outnumbered.
2. There appears to be a lack of organization on a country-wide basis, as-in it feels like most players are just doing their own thing and less coordinated attacks.
This is up the the individual players to get together. Sometimes we are more organized than other times. Having good squad leadership also helps. If you have a good squad working together, then others will join the party.
3. The game map seems to change daily. I thought the maps stayed in play for longer periods of time.
If a team wins a map, then the map changes. If a team doesn't win the map, then the map will change once a week. As you have seen, Hitech is toying with the idea of putting a minimum time on maps.
By the way, welcome to the game.
