Country Balance

No.  My squad flies where we want to, not where the "system" would put us.  I'm sure most squads out there feel the same way.

HELL! I've seen as many as 10 Bishes chasing a lone con, like a pack of dogs on a 3 legged cat, all trying to get him before one of thier "wingmates" does.

 

Yup, this NEVER happens on the Nit OR Rook sides

It is impossible to push people from one country to another just for the sake of game balance. But you could try to bribe/motivate some people to act as the balanceing factor.

-Newbie gangbangers... nope, they go to the winning country, if they know how to switch countries.

-Scorepotatos... Yes  If they are not tightly squadron oriented, they could move after a score bounty.

So, count the scores and perks weighed with some kind of multiplier the same way the ENY and OBJ values are used. Just use the current number of players in the killed enemy's country against the current number of the killer's country to do that !!!!!

When the numbers look like this, it's detrimental to gameplay.  Unfortunately I've been imbalances on this scale a lot lately.  Sometimes my country has the numbers (Knights), sometimes Bish do, sometimes Rooks do.  I don't really care WHICH country has what numbers, but when one country outnumbers the others put together it messes up the arena.

I'm beginning to think that maybe it shouldn't be possible to defect to the most populated country if said country has more than +20% of the numbers of the next country, or something like that.

Do it like that and I quit.

[straffo]

same as Wilbus

I fly with my friends no matter of the number ....

Actually evening up numbers is probably the one easy method of taking away the excitement. When I log on to an evenly matched arena its usually pretty boring.

Unmatched sides = either madly overruning rook scum ; or madly defending against bish hordes.

With all the new MMP games hitting the shelves? Uhhh like what?

So I take it you're enrolled in ToD?

Well said ALF... my suggestion is to create a method that adds excitment or something new (unlike missions) currenty there is no versatility. I hope I am not convying any frustration I am only  looking for ways to improve game play, increase the community. With all the new MMP games getting ready to hit the shelves HTC is going to face stiff competition with no marketing plan/forcast in place even the hard core flight sim jockey is going to be tempted by the new improved graphic sims coming out.


I was hoping for concepts/creative ideas to improve game play versus "my squad, your squad" but...I do relate to the squad/country position taken.

Deja,

Do you still have that dead trout?  We'll smack each other in the chops until something gives.

Yes Vulcan, that is the choise the Knits get. Rooks choise is often: either madly defending against knit scum ; or madly defending against bish hordes. Some times against both when they are even and compete who gets the last few rook bases.

So why dont we switch right away to 2 countries. Lets leave the 3rd coutry empty or AI defended. Then just see who kills the AI country 1st.

[Modas]

Rooks forever....

Unless the nits or bish have better looking sheep.  Please send pics of the sheep for consideration
