Enough is enough

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

Doesn't stop some jerk from ferrying a 262 a few sectors over though!

I've seen a lot of people talk about zone ENY.  I've never seen anything even vaguely detailed about an implementation of it.

I think the devil's in the details on that idea.

hitech has always said, what players ask is not what they want.

this zone eny idea has been around forever. let's say you are a rook, now all the fights are on the bishop/ knight front. so you tell the rooks let's take this base and you can't because now you have eny, so only option is to rage quit.

Unless eny is so bad you can't get a jeep, c47, or m3..... you can always get a base.

A couple of atomic bombs would make sub-50% base ownership quite fun.  Country drops below 50%?  They get access to a limited number of nukes.  Drop a bomb, and it kills every enemy, white flags the town, and drops every hangar at the base being attacked.

Reduce the clans to two. The numbers signing on are so small as compared to when I sign on so many years ago, it makes no sense to have three clans anymore. I know there I guys out there that remember as many as 400 in the game, fairly consistently, but now we all get excited if the are 150 TOTAL. I was is squad of 30 members who you could expect to be on any night. I for one, am considering moving on. I recognize my skills are not what they used to be. When I came on board, I would compare AH to a slice of bologna between two pieces of plain white bread. AH3 is nothing more the same sandwich with mayo and mustard.  No amount numbers and percentage crunching is not going to change the fact we all have been playing on the same maps for far to long. Just more mayo and mustard.

With the side effect of you can’t use the base for 20 years.

I have a suspicion that with only two sides you get a feed back loop that reinforces the imbalance between the sides. With three sides there is always another country to kind of pay attention to.

Truth.  When the ganging gets really bad, with three countries you can always switch to one of the other countries, and attack the vacant front to gin up some more-even sided action.

I wonder if this is coming from the bish side. I don't know if it has to do with real life summer stuff, or just real life, I have noticed the Bish are not having a lot of players logging on. some players for bish have switched to 1 of the other countries,
and the ones that do log on,  some log off early, also not as many logging on in the mornings.
so is it RL-summer time, or just RL, or just boredom with the game.

I’ve been switching sides the since coming back to avoid eny, I’ve been on bush side for a sold week. Not sure if that’s been normal or what but at times they gave half the numbers took side does. Also I’ve done a few pork runs to instigate a second front, take out ord and dar at 2-3 close based and nobody ups but a wirble. People may be looking at where the largest numbers are for furball’s.

[pembquist]

...................and nobody ups but a wirble...................

That or the 88. A while ago I was prospecting by flying over to a big enme field and shooting at the ack somebody shoots me down with a man gun or a wirble and I asked him why he didn't up in a plane and he said words to the effect "sure buddy and then you'll just vulch me, I know how you guys operate."

The guys that only got to log on a few hours during the week nights and weekends got tired of the constant double teaming.  There for a few months it was absolutely stupid any day after 4pm week days and all weekend.  That’s why I quit flying at night and weekends. You can’t chase a fight down during the day and have to fight five at night. Not really fun.

weren't you one of the bishops that would roll undefended bases early in the morning? bishops won most mayors early in the morning.
