how bout a "limiter" of some sort in the game to keep any one side from having a more than 20% numerical advantage.

Or perhaps more judicious use of channel selection......

Just imagine how loud they'd whine if (when logging in) they saw the message:

"We're sorry. Your country has exceeded the maximum twenty-percent population advantage. Please logoff now, change to a different team, or try again later."

And, when trying to change countries.

"If, you switch sides, you will not be able to change again for twenty-four hours, and perk points awarded during a reset will not apply to you."

It seems to me Knights never whined when it was Bishops 79, Knights 158, Rooks 97. Nope, didn't hear a one.

When I logged today nits outnumbered both sides combined, bishops were down to 8 fields, lost one of ports to rooks, and nits attacked bishops main island.

I use to log to MA different time during the day, and can say, that bishops advantage is now minimal, if exist. Rooks are still outnumbered.

So my idea isn't practical it seems.  Okay.  What are the merits of a battle when one side (be it rooks, knights, bishops) has as many pilots as the other two?

It's fairly obvious that the Bishops have better benifits. I'm not privy to the Medical and Dental plans offered to the Bishops but I would say the Knights and Rooks should make it a point to find out..

That being said, I myself would fly for the Bishops..

But I'm not a tard.

In my ongoing studies of arena number variations, I've come to the conclusion that from 7am EST to 2pm EST, Bish on more occasions than not do indeed maintain at least a 15-20% advantage in numbers over the other two countries.  From 2pm EST to appx 7pm EST, the number become much more balanced with some "spiking" taking place, usually in the favor of the Rooks and Knights.  After 7pm EST, it's a toss up and any single country at any given time can be found having significant to insignificant advantages in numbers.  Sundays seem to find the Rooks with the mostust.  Fridays and Saturdays there's no telling.  During the Weekdays you never can tell.  This is fairly consistant through appx 1am EST... when numbers begin dropping on all sides, by 3am it doesn't make a difference then the cycle begins to start up again around 6am.

Nah Voss, I whined...  :(

This lopsided number deal is really getting to be a sad fad.  I am no fan of it.
