Furball Lake - Dueling arena

How many would like to see the Furball lake Fightertown map return in a dueling arena? Anyone know the reason it was 86'd back in the day?

Most go to whatever it's called today to furball with AI

Most don't respond to the request for h2h

Not sure some even know what it is

The Match Play Arena  (MPA) is the Dueling Arena

Was just in that Arena,  Monday Night....felt like the ai had been tweaked on / turned up a bit since the last time I was in there...looking at my score/ ranking that was back in 2018....

With a game like AHIII, one would think that the Match Play Arena would be constantly populated

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

I never see Match Play arena populated with players but I rarely stroll into AH3 after late afternoon.  OTOH Furball Lake always seemed to have 10, 20, 30 folks though overall numbers were considerably higher, too.

I really like the Free for All in Match Play. It's better to have someone to wing with because the AIs can overwhelm you when you're by yourself.

Fly close to the side of the hills and just above the water and watch AI dart into both

Change the current map to one of the small AVA maps with air spawns and name it fighter bowl. Let this be a free fight arena. Don't even need teams. Teams create less action and ganging when #s aren't even.

Make a new arena with the air spawns called the dueling arena just like the current one. Let this be for dueling and team dueling only, need to change it so that you can chose who to fight. One of the biggest issues with the current match play.

Make a team death match arena out of the current AvA and keep it to a short distance small map with about 3 or 4 bases on each side.

Make a new arena that is for AI fighting like in the match play. The Dueling arena needs to be a different map than the AI arena. For players who just want to fight AI for practice. The planes should fly to their model ability and come in one at a time. People do not like being ganged by AI when they already get ganged in the MA.

Leave scoring out of it all.

It's really that freaking simple.
