ENY needs to count for base percentage

[Animl-AW]

I know there are very few sik puppies on in the morning. 2, maybe 3. I suppose with the poor numbers that must be a huge force to be reckoned with. 

Saturday night I logged in for a few hours and the Bish were getting hit on both fronts. Knights and rooks, I remember you laughing about it and saying how it was our turn..... and yet you didnt move to the rook front and start a fight there. I wonder why?

The issue is numbers and has been for some time. I feel there are far to few of us working to try and bring interest back to this game. Instead of complaining maybe get back to work pushing videos.

You guys got it 2-3 nights out of a month to knits almost nightly and say “see its equal”. You are in minimize mode because your sqd does it most with rooks. You put a brick on the scale every time in your response to it. Its your sqd that says “suck it up”

Well obviously its not fooling HT either

I try to guilt some of my team to join me but it’s mostly ignored.

Did you ever consider why that might be?  I generally log in around the same time, looking at the same map.  90% of the time, the morning crew has made it so Bish have most if not all of the Knight fields they need to win the map.  People generally want to prevent that, so they are trying to take those bases back.  If they don't want everybody to fight them, they shouldn't take our stuff.

Love that idea!! I like to take out barracks and fuel tanks and things like that to make basis less effective.

That mechanism already exists - it called... strat(egic)s and in combination with tactics it's almost like HTC has given you exactly what you want!   They even made sure it could be defended or mitigated!

Unless you're asking for longer downtimes on player-actioned aspects like hangars?  Not happening.  As for reduced capabilities via tactical bombing, no one is bothered to take out fuel/barracks on bases so that potential impact is minimalized by player (non)choices.

ethos... amirite?

Bish rarely reset in evenings and because of that "double-teaming" by knits and rooks  leaves the map open for the overnight knit skwads to potentially roll the map before the morning bish swarm arrives to start the cycle all over.

Been there, done covered it multiple times. Multiple times.   Ethos cannot be hardcoded.

Yep

And it only takes 2-3 to roll 10 bases in the morning.

Who is facerolling the other sides unopposed changes with time of day.  When all people see is the same times of day, that becomes their reality regardless of what may go on the other hours of the day.

The root of the problem is the majority of players refuse to switch sides for one reason or another.  As long as that's the case, the double-teaming at different times of day will stay, IMO.

It's like Andy Dupree. He had his daily thing with the sisters.

It's like Andy Dupree. He had his daily thing with the sisters.

And he needed the guard to step in to stop it.  ENY is an attempt at that.   

Wiley.

/personally, I don't think it does much but the counter argument has been made, repeatedly.  About all taking it away would do at this point is speed up the off-hours facerolling of the maps.

[Animl-AW]

Prayers refusing to switch sides is not new. Been that way for over 30 yrs.
One tribe will, one tribe won’t.

If you’re with sqd you likely won’t

I will make note;
I’ve intensionally brought it up several times waiting for a response, that has not come even once.

Two countries are working together snd coordinate GBing Knits.

Those trying to minimize the GB ussue avoid that like the black plague.

The numbers are lower because they make them log or not even log in because of it. Then use it for a floppy excuse.

It was hysterical and sad that one night one country got it after GBing knits fir 2 weeks “ …you’re ruining the game”.

You guys talk out both sides of your mouths

Sounds like a “Cops” tv show, “ but I didn’t even do anything…” after we all watched it.

Yep. I’m actually pretty empathetic.

I wouldnt know how often we get it vs Knits get it or the rooks get it, I only fly a couple nights a week/8 times a month. Tho with hockey season starting soon I should get more time in the air. The point is yes we hit the knights some nights...JG11 likes that, other nights we hit the rooks. More often than not its because that team is hitting the Bish so we defend, push back, and when they give up, roll bases. The sik puppies also when we hit the 20-25% of bases captured will switch to the other front to attack that country. I think for the most part as a squad we are pretty respectful of the game and game play. Due to our numbers we do look like a horde, and many other bish join up because we tend to have fun and fights.

As for the paranoia you seem to have where the Rooks and Bish have a "pact" to only hit Knights, you can put that to bed. Never have I heard anyone making plans with the Rooks or the Knights for that matter to team up on the other country. As like all human cycles, we are out only to help ourselves.

I hope Hitech sets up an automatic limiter so one country can only capture 25-30% of another country so a team cant be forced back to single digit base counts. That would help all teams, because it happens to all teams. What other things could he do to tweak game play? I dont know, but Id love to sit around a bar with a bunch of yas talking it out. Will Hitech make more changes? Again, I dont know, but look forward to seeing what happens. With his minions the "AI Crew" who knows what we might see.

Then why do you try to guilt them into going to the other side of the map that is meaningless to the war win at the moment?  I expect you likely don't care much about the mud moving, nor do I, but a fair number of people seem to.

Bish waiting for Shane to log in

[hazmatt]

What bish really need is for Admiral Rodbstr to return, take charge and carry out the plan of the day.

Wiley.

Same basic answer. Empathy.

The more complex answer is I’ve been doing this about as long as anyone and I can recognize the difference between a war winning push, the need to fight our way out of a corner, and simply kicking the team that is down. And, while I’m primarily a fighter pilot, I do move mud. Lots of it. Just 3k at a time.
