Thank you for finally admitting the obvious. The win the war types always claim they like to fight but there just isn't any defense. This is just not true. Every time the toolshed horde is met with resistance, doesn't push the fight, it gives up just to go attack another base that is undefended and easier to take.
Hey Stang,
I too will admit that 'winning the war' which is of course done by capturing and defending territory is my primary goal. And when a base is defended one must weigh how much resources and time it will take to overcome it.
As the 'LTAR alert' goes out and more and more defenders up to repel us there comes a point where it is no longer strategicaly sound to continue to tie up our resources there when we can take much more territory elsewhere. The answer to this strategy is, of course, to move your defensive allies to whichever base we then attack. The tension that ensues as each side thus tries to outhink and manouever each other can be quite satisfying to a strategic planner such as myself.
That said I do find it more satisfying when some defense is raised and we actually have to work for the capture.
As for those who don't care about the reset and just want combat...why are they whining? Combat can be easily found in the arenas so what those 'pushing for reset' are doing should be immaterial to them. I submit that they complain because they really do care about the base captures/war but aren't willing to put in the time (and potential score loss) into defending bases undergoing a well organized attack.
As for those complaining about uneven #s, I agree this problem comes about because of the multi arenas. Perhaps we need a radio channel to allow us to send an SOS to our countrymen in other arenas when there is a need? If that were to occur and countrymen refuse to answer a call for help, it says more about ones countrymen then it does about the game!
