Enough is enough
« on: June 17, 2019, 10:22:20 AM »
When a country's percentage goes below 50% and armistice is declared and war is over.

When I signed on this morning the Bish owned less than 50%.  I feel by forcing the country's to respect that 50% rule would increase their effort to win rather than force the stalemate that happens when they fight only one country. :furious

But eventually they will gave to fight eachother.. it's just a matter of time.

I've wondered if the best strategy is for the ganged upon country to only resist one front. Then the side that has to fight them is facing closer to 1:1 numbers against lower ENY planes and then might decide to start an attack on the other country instead...

the problem is that due to human nature in the game the groups doing the attack want to stay in their horde and continue the easy captures.  Most know that once they switch to the other front/team they will have to fight for the captures.

Getting players to move to the front is also a waste of time. How many times has your team gotten 25% or more of one team and you can call until your blue in the face and they still push the same front. HTC is going to have to make adjustment to force the teams to move to the second front.

I'd like to see it so after you took a couple bases from one team you must take at least one from the other team. Until they do all bases on the first front become uncapturable .Not only does it slow the rolling of bases against one team, it also moves the action back and forth making it so no team has no action for long

Me and my friends always fight the side where there is some form of opposition. If there is a front where there is nothing to do and sight see after a few sorties we feel like we have no option of joining the 5 man horde (EU timezone). I think this counts for alot of players. Ganging 1 country is only useful for base takers, not so much for action guys.

Pigs having been jumping to Bishop every now and then for a little of that action. We will jump whichever country has the most players or fields. See you up there red guys... :airplane:

How does that help a country that is 10 bases behind the lead country but ahead of the trailing country in base count?  With your rule the country trying to move ahead in base count from the leader would have to stop and attack and capture a  base from the training country.  Any time a country spends time attacking the trailing country is just helping  the lead win the war.

HiTec needs to code it into the sim so you can't have two captures against the same country in a row..........

That and some form of attrition Warfare.... a unlimited amount of planes per base is so "1980s"

all countries have and will attack one or the other below 50%. why? not sure, maybe they're having fun?

it's like saying well it's not cool to vulch but everybody does it.  and if you say you don't, well you are a liar:).

Front-based ENY would probably fix a part of this problem.

Been that way forever.    Front-based is a scalpel.   Country-based is a hatchet.

Well then you’d just up your 5eny from the next closest base aka 5 extra mins of downtime.

Maybe modify object downtimes according to the percentage of bases held:

Knits own 30% of Rook bases, normal hangar downtime is 15 minutes.  Knit destroys Rook hangar, adjusted downtime is 30% less = 10.5 minutes.  Other object downtimes would be modified accordingly. 

So, it gets progressively harder to take more of one country's bases.
