Just logged in AH to take a look, and the situation was this:
(http://www.airtel.net/hosting/0003d/ebringas/Clipboard.jpg)
because the numbers where:
(http://www.airtel.net/hosting/0003d/ebringas/Clipboard1.jpg)
So, in previous map this was no problem as each side had 20 fields or so. now we have much less ,and this thing (just as happened up to tour 2 and 1.02) is going to kill a lot of fun...
No skill dweebs that attacks defencceless countries are back...Please is there SOMETHING we can do to avoid this situation?

It'll all come out in even soon enough.
In the beat the majority of folks were not in squads. Now they are and there are alot of them who change countries to help the numbers out. It'll settle down and even out.
Demming would have your head for trying to do a one day sample!
BTW. When I logged on at about 9pm (US EST) it was 11 Rooks against three times as many Knights and Bishops each.

Yeah, I have something to solve that problem, make the Knights not so good, see, we have a few 'Generals' over here that make Knightland the best country in regards to strat, that the only time anyone can get our real estate is when numbers are low (non-peak AH hours) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
That and the fact Nits usually have 2x the players of another team on peak hours helps
-
So....you seek parity?
Buck up Ram...I don't whine like a baby when the Knights are kickin the Bishops tails.
Your logic is faulty as well...less fields may make for a faster demise of a given country, but when your country has the numbers, the same will apply for your side.
I'm so happy just to have a different terrain, I guess I don't understand anyone who would complain on the first day of a new tour.
Is this a sign of things to come from you Ram? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Ice you miss the point 100%, the problem is that when I went into the arena there were 2 knights.
Other countries were attacking a DEFENCELESS country.
Nothing to do with gangbangin. I dont mind it. I DO mind, tho, people who attack undefended fields when other country has 0 or 1 or 2 pilots.

RAM, while reading these posts, keep in mind that most of these posts are "Pack Mentality"...do you understand what that means?

Ram....
It's the nature of the beast buddy....should those who log on first check to make sure it's ok to attack a country?
It happens....focus on something positive like killing as many of those women who would take advantage of such a situation.
I personally never try to take advantage of anyone...example....I'll wait for at least a 3v1 against me before I engage...ok...ok...I'll stop (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Just have fun man...remember...the power of life and death is in the tongue....if you let yourself get too negative about these things, something awful will happen like TOWD will finally be able to kill me or HTC might start charging to play this Sim (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I'll be gald to be in such target rich environement (me included (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif))
Fly for fun Ram (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Ram, in the animal kingdom, when one member of 'the pack' is injured, or shows weakness, or draws attention by calling out to others in distress, "Pack Mentality" sets in, others are likely to attack the 'weak' member, its natures way of making sure the strong survive and reproduce...same thing is happening in this thread, once one member of 'the pack' attacks you, several others move in for the kill.

At the time u logged on; (looks like about 4:00am Eastern US time based on total numbers in the arena) my nation was in bed.. along with the majority of it's pilots. Guess most of the knits are Americans.
If you fly the 'knight shift' at 4;00am eastern US time expect diminished numbers in knitland.
But; you knew that. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
On the other side.. it does look odd that knitland has fewer fields.. but that's reasonable.. the knits at the time in question had fewer fields to defend.. works out; right??
Anyway.. had some great canyon fights last night.. Love this terrain. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Salute AK's I was tangoing with in the canyon!! Great flyin guys! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

RAM get used to it m8
bish and rooks are pretty much going to ignore each other on this map.
they can't afford to actually try to fight 2front wars on this map.
We'd flat rip'em up and hold'em down to 2 bases each if they tried (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
-
Watching the answers in this thread seems that attacking a coutnry with 1 pilot when your own contry has 10 is ok? that is what I found when I logged in...in TWO fronts at the same time.
Valiant reckless rooks and bishes had a hard time with our fields. oh, yeah (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

1 thing about the new map.. it introduces parody as far as overall layout. On the last map, the NE and NW countries were prone to attack the S country because the S country was closer to their HQ. Unfortunately, the Southern country had 2 people close to its HQ at all times.
This puts everyone on an equal footing at all times as far as layout goes. Now all HTC needs to do is find some way to make it less apealing to fight 2:1 wars. Countries need to dedicate resources to both fronts.

From the looks of the radar, it appears that...
* The Rooks were engaging the Bishops up north and leaving the Knights alone, like good little Rooks will do when someone is hopelessly outnumbered.
* The Bishops were picking on the poor defensless Knights just to piss the Knights off.
* The Bishops were taking care of the Knights in an attempt to force a reset.
* The Bishops were picking on the outnumbered Knights because they were afraid to meet a foe that had more than a few players.
* The Bishops were getting gangbanged by the Knights and the Rooks.
* Most Knights have not showered in days, which will keep people from joining Knights.
* The Knights had several hours of either low attendance or poor defenses.
Or possibly a combination of any/all/none of the above.

When I logged on for the first time this tour, it was about 6:00 p.m. Hawaii time, or about 12:00 a.m. US Eastern time. The knights had gained a lot of our south east fields fairly quickly. When I got on I saw red in all of the front line vehicle field sectors. I found out all the hangars were disabled. The bish were outnumbered down in that quarter against the knights who were gaining fields. I had to log without sortying due to dinner time. I came back about 2 hours later, and found that the knights had A15 along with most of the canyon vehicle bases. They took V39, V40 at one point, and were concentrating on A11. We were primarily on the defensive, but some ambitious bish took back the canyon vehicle bases despite losing our HQ. A11 was continually pounded till it was about 11:00 p.m my time. They eventually must've given up and we took our remaining fields back. After that I logged, and there were only 2 knights online (about 12:30 a.m. here). The situation RAM is showing is the result of what happened many hours ago. You can't expect countries (any country) who have been raided for long periods of time to just pick on someone else and leave the previous agressor alone. This goes for any country.. I've seen it after the few times the bish make big raids and also outnumber both the rooks and knights... when people go to bed and numbers drop off, the knights and rooks will come knocking. And after seeing these posts here, I'll expect the usual big raids over bishland when I come home from work. Same stuff with either map.. since we're the same bunch o people. I guess the action will be quicker now with a slightly smaller map...

RAM, imagine seeing the picture you posted above for an entire week. You will then get a feeling for how bad the bish had it last week.

Again, you are missing my point at all.
I have nothign against gangbanging.
I have a lot against attackin a country that has 0,1 or 2 people standing alone to defend it agains a two front attack.
I hope it is more clear now.

Waaaaa Waaaaa Waaaaa....
RAM, it sure is clear but I don't think what is clear is the point you wanted to make....
Get some dry Pampers and the world will look a lot better. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
This is just a fact of life in the arena. We beat up on the Bish something fierce last week. So it is our turn this week? You get to launch right into the fray with a lot of friends around. OK, so you only have 4 friends. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
War doesn't always go your way. Get used to it. This stuff comes and goes. Denial is not just a river in Egypt, son.
