So the even game play, fair fights, and no hoarding I described for those three hours is not what you want?

Not sure what the issue is? Last night had great fights on all the fronts. When I hit on around 8PM EST, us Rooks were trying to close out the map up north, which had to be defended first because we were being attacked by Nits. Bosh were rolling is on the south side and we slowed that down but they kept coming steadily all night. When I left around 11PM we had I think 18% Not and couldn’t make any headway on the Bish.

Most of the strats were 100% for everyone expect a few and eny was pretty stable. The game worked exactly has it should in my opinion and and it was a good night.

Trying to finish off a country to win the map is hoarding or whatever the problem is.

Your view of what the fight was at 11pm is no way indicative of what those screen shots show and what the fights were from US AM till about 12 hours later. I was on early and nits were pushed back to their 8k base on the bish front, and practically to their strats on the rook front. This was 9am to about 1.

When I got back a few hours later it was the exact same and nits were losing any bases they managed to get back. That was till about 7:30. In that 10 to 11 hour window I was in and out watching and on only one base on the bish and rook front was flashing.


All sides are going to get hit with a double team, but you have to have your head in the sand to not notice it’s continuously the knits side that’s just getting pounded for hours on end like this.

Most of the knights usually just want to furball. So it is easy to take the knight bases first.

There are many knits who want to keep the bases and take new ones, but eternal double team hording, often knits with big underpower makes every action bit hard.

Nits were on the attack at two bases on that side. So because whatever was happening on your other front the Rooks were supposed to let the Nits take the bases?

The worked as designed for most of USA prime time and it was a lot of fun. I attacked and defense both sides. Even did a Bish strat run and had a three sector tangle with a 190 that was lots of fun. I’m also do one who flys and drives all of the games offerings. If more people did that there would be more action of sorts. I think a lot of these complaints come from those who are mostly A2A peeps.

To expect constant even action 24/7 is a tad disingenuous.

I'll reiterate. I think A reason (not the only reason) is that finetime and clone have taken HQs and ppl are unhappy about it. This predisposes them to hit nit. And once a team has to defend both fronts, things tend to snowball.

I don’t see how you came to that conclusion from the two screenshots I posted, but ok buddy!  :salute

I thought I provided some good context to your pictures which look like right when I got on… what time were they snapped?

Between 7-7:30pm CST. 

At the time it was taken, Bish were rolling bases with a horde in the north, Rooks were attacking us with two sectors of full dar bar, and there were no flashing bases and minimal dar on the Rook/Bish front.  Knights were down to 59% of our bases and was about to lose another to the bish.

I upped three sorties and found myself fighting 3-4v1 every sortie on both fronts, then I logged.  If I changed countries either direction, I would have been flying in a horde of green guys, which is also not fun.

It's just coincidence. Every day, every time.  Or actually repeating historical event, called Molotov-Ribbentrop. So how can we blame those, who just want the fight be historically accurate..?

What context can be construed here?

1pm CST minimal bish/rook action

(At least 2 knits other than GasTeddy were talking about quitting this morning.)
