AvA or whatever..the numbers don't support a 3 sided war anymore as "winning the map" trumps game play/action these days which usually leaves one side..seems knights more than any other...twiddling their thumbs during prime time..
Last night on auto assign was as boring as it comes..

Ended up deacking a rook town, and went back to white flag it. Thankfully had someone fly a c47 over for the capture. Ended up getting the Rooks attention and got a decent fight out of it for an hour or two. Prior to that it was a snoozefest. All of the knights were hitting a bishop country that put up almost no defense as they were being attacked by the entire rook country.
I'm not a huge fan of ground attack, but when situations like last night were happening, it's up to us as players to change it. Even if it means going against the grain a little bit. I sure wasn't going to pile in with a group of 20 knights attacking a defenseless country.
Another issue was last night furball island bases we owned by only two countries, and the outer islands of that map are less than desirable for a fight as they now have annoying puffy ack towers. Also from island to island has 0 gv spawns, which seems to detour attackers.
Like I mentioned in another post. Just game mechanics and the maps working against the game.
