max amount of bases you can take
« on: September 06, 2019, 01:33:08 AM »
I think it would be good if the max amount of bases you can take from any of  other 2 countries is cap at 25%.  seen countries lose the war when they have 40% of bases and they still try to take more bases instead of fighting the country that is actually fighting to win the war.  think it makes sense.

Some just like to win the fight. Some like to win the base. Some like to win the terrain.

What if they just put a time limit on a terrain? What if they just allowed so many of a certain type of plane in an area?

Not everyone is in the game for the same reason.

Agree.

Sometimes GV'ers have tank battles and ignore if their country is trying to win the map. They are
having fun fighting the other tanks.  GV furballing  :D

I understand your point. It is not a bad idea but I see it causing another issue. If side B can't capture side A bases they all go fight side C. Then A does not need to defend against side B at all. They can go pile on side C also. It seems like it has the possibility to cause stagnation.

I say funnel the map.   Until numbers reach a certain level many bases should be closed.

Even real wars have choke points.

Maybe not closing bases, but incentivizing them more to fight in a certain spot.

I think what hes talking about is when....

Team A 100% of their bases-40% of Bs bases-3% of Cs bases
Team B has 20% of their bases-0% of As bases- 0% of Cs bases
Team C has 97% of their bases- 40% of Bs bases- 0% of of As bases

....and yet team A and C continue to roll B land bases.

It doesnt further the "win the war" effort at all as both A and C team should turn toward each other to get the 20% needed from them. It is just the easiest way to grab more bases as team B has less defenders due to players logging off because they get tired of being over whelmed from both sides.

It would be nice to have something that either slows or stops the bleeding of the team getting continually hammered.

This is more for folks who care about the win the war. Evidently more care about the fight instead.

no I was just thinking,  now the pigs play bishops, we have been down to like 6 or 7 bases and we were still being attacked.  now this is not specific to bishops, we have had twice I think taken 40% of the bases of one country while ignoring the other.  past 2 weeks one country or another has been down to a few bases while still being attacked by the other 2.

not a matter of fight more like a matter of just going for easy destruction.

It does kind of roll around. Seems to all come out in the wash though.

Would be nice if we could just get more even numbers on sides. I was going to go rook last night but knits were getting hit by bish. Bish far outnumbered both other sides.

Disable Bishlamic fields, adjust ENY values to ignore lack of Bishlamist extremists.     Problem solved.   :)

It matters not how many bases you take - it’s where you take them to that counts.  :old:

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