Late War I always flew knight. Had no interest nor incentive to switch.
Although I had no problem with those who rotated on a regular basis.
Then I started flying Midwar.
With smaller numbers, more and more often I'd log on to find 12 - 15 knights, 3-6 bish and rooks.
So I started switching to the lowest country. Got tired of fighting the ENY, got tired of the endless land grab, roll the map, reset, do it again.
I have to admit, the more I do so, the less loyalty I have to any one chess piece.
Also the more I see how certain squadrons and groups of players are stuck in a single mindset.
Like they are at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and they can't even imagine what the view would be like from the Rim. Once you get up out of that hole, that loyalty, that mindset. You start realizing that anything is possible, that the options are near endless. That there are many different styles of game play, and they are all valid until they are taken to the extreme.
