Hitech mentioned an idea in the MA just now about limiting the ability of squads to switch sides.  Not sure how that will help with day to day side-switching, but over the long haul could be a good "stablizer".  Cool thing is HTC is thinking about possible solutions .

Hmmm... some of these solutions seem like they'd only prolong a stalemate, like keeping someone alive on life support. Maybe it's better to pull the plug quicker.

The problem is that the "war can be won" I didn't sign up to fight a war. I hated when AW went to most bases being capturable and it screws things up here to. It's not much fun to log on and find you have a couple bases to take off from.

Last night about 8 pm, the rooks were fighting well.  Their numbers reached 170 with the Bish and Nits at lower levels.  They were  pushing the Bish North and holding off the nits.

About 9 pm, the situation started declining for the rooks.  I checked the roster and the rooks had 130, 120, 110, 100 ... it literally declined as I was watching it.  It was the strangest thing to see.  Was there a major net outage somewhere? Lol

I like being a "Bish" because they always seem to have the most players.  That gives them a chance to really 'beat the Crap' out of the other two sides.

    The problem seems to be that we don't all attack the weakest of the two and the war drags out too long.  The 'Bish' are NEVER organized.....!

   I love this game.......:p

Some of the problem seems to be that there really isn't much incentive to stay if the war isn't going in your favor.


 Interesting line, Dejavu..

 Would there be any incentive sufficiently enough for people to stay online even when they are down to 4~5 bases?? Maybe double the perks earned for the losing side?? Maybe even triple it?? Thinking up a way to make people stay through out the reset might help the numbers a bit... just can't think of anything that would do so, though.

why not reset occurs when you're down to 2 bases....  and maybe  the 4 closest bases to HQ have extra acks.... like 20-50 of 'em...

this way there will always be at least 3 - 4 bases to use, all of which are extra dangerous to totally suppress...

or something along these lines..

think of it this way:

statistically bishops get shot down more than any other country

they need the numbers to make up for lack of skill

Kills of Bish = 294
Killed by Bish = 91

I'm not saying this to brag as I'm a newbie. But it must really suck to be Bish. Imagine what a veteran knights stats must look like.

When I joined up, AH defaulted me to Bishops.

Since then I have stuck with Bishops, because thats what I am used to.

I wouldnt be the only one who has a loyalty to Bishops simply because this is the game default?

Number in Aussie time are always more Bishops then both others combined.

Bish numbers are not the problem. The problem is their huge missions. to bishes because I know how hard it is to get people join any missions and Fariz has done good job there. This doesnt mean that I like it but it must be fun in their side...

If numbers are even, we win..:cool:
