max amount of bases you can take

[guncrasher]

  It sounds like you want something like ENY, which would make more bases uncapturable under certain conditions.

actually I have seen bishops lose the war when we have like 40% of one country or another and they keep hammering to get the last few bases.  while on the other side only a few are defending.  it happens in all 3 countries.

-1 keeps the maps rotating, even if bish are taking undefended bases.

If you used the funnel method maps would still rotate.

In AH2 Hitech tested a variation of funneling and it crashed and burned. Ultimately customers liked attacking the feilds they chose to assault versus being forced by Hitech to follow a funnel he defined. It's the whole forcing the customer to do what they don't want to that has to be approached carefully versus stick it to them becasue something has gotta change.....

Semp's scenario has played out as I remember for the last 17 years, all through each tour with the three countries taking turns doing what he is observing. What is wrong with paying customers getting the satisfaction they are paying for by working together to acheive goals that make them happy? When Hitech funneled them in his experiment in AH2, they did not appreciate it as things started stagnating becasue their evening was controlled by the funnel if they wanted to win the map. For the first few days it was exciting becasue it was a change from the norm. Then it became a burden which impacted customers willingness to take part just to flip a map. Ultimately these conversations turn into wanting change for the sake of change regardless of the consequences. No one itemizes the consequences and discuses them as part of the whole process. Watch, it will turn into the usual attack any dissenters who disagree with "change".

Well, these giant maps are a smashing success at current levels.   /sarcasm

You don't have to use a funnel but you can limit the outer useful edge of the map.   People can still take the bases they want on a slightly smaller playground.   This is a variation on the theme that was proposed by Violator awhile back.

Either that or reduce the minimum size for new maps so people can make some that are smaller.
