Title: 2 teams would be more fun
Post by: Virage on November 05, 2002, 01:41:38 PM

Can history be wrong?  There is a reason games played by man have only 2 teams.

The MA is a game of ping pong.

never played RISK?  Monopoly?  HQ?

ever watch F1 racing?

now if you wanna talk sports.... that's a different story. i don't think AH would qualify as a "sport" tho' - like all the previous example mentioned (including f1 racing :D ) are examples of "games" where theer are various levels of cooperation while still being an individually competitive.... game.


so no, 2 sides in AH, especially teh MA, would simply suck. it'd end up being 300 v 100.

"there were more country's invalved in the 2nd WW"
-multiple countrys on 2 teams

"never played RISK? Monopoly? HQ? "
-multiplayer board games have inherent player balancing.  ie 1 player/team.

"ever watch F1 racing?"
-ah isnt a racing game.  but even races are balanced.

"2 sides in AH, especially teh MA, would simply suck. it'd end up being 300 v 100"
-it has been my experience that 2 team online games balance themselves.  at least better than AH's 3 team system.  team switching limits or perk incentives for not switching would help.


The MA has proven that w/ 3 teams, 2 will be more or less balanced with 1 dog to kick.  the 2 chase the dog.  I feel a 2 team system would be more competitive.

I'd rather have 4 teams than 3... as per MegaWars I by Kesmai.  It was fun that way.

Fighter Ace had 5 countries at one time (they still might for all I know), and they even had different planesets.  Interesting to say the least.

Try playing Diplomacy. Not only do you have the backstabbing gangbang as other players team up to hose you, but the teams can change from turn to turn.

Or just try the Combat Theatre. There are two sides there.
