Tonight for at least 5 hours I was in the MA when the Rooks had a numerical advantage of better than two to one. At times the combined numbers of Knights and Bishops did not equal the number of Rooks. I don't mind dieing, my stats show that, but when every field is covered and you can not even get to a point of fighting a battle this game loses its appeal. If Hitech is going to continue to get numbers of players like this on they need to do some forced parity in the countries as far as memberships. Also using a small map like the one this week just does not work with the amount of people, you get reset and immediately your overwhelmed again with the numbers because all the players on the winning side remain on and hammer you as soon as the new map is up. I know there are going to be times when one group has the advantage, but if it goes to the level of what happened tonight the game loses its appeal. I thought the idea was to have battles between the countries not just revised versions of the Little Big Horn. When it is so lopsided people jump to the winning side even more just because they are tired of being clubbed, and that makes the mess even worse.
This may be whinning, and I am sure the Rooks think it is but I know if the play is like tonight on a regular basis it will drive some away the game, myself included. Don't know how it can be fixed but something needs to be looked at.
