Truly curious, as two sides works great in FSO.

Because for the FSO, squads are assigned to sides in order to balance the numbers. In the MA everyone would pile onto one side and basically be able to roll bases totally unopposed with no threat of losing bases on a second front (from the 3rd "country").

I get nervous when the numbers start to fall cuz if this game ever gets cancelled what will I have left to look forward to in life? Zip, zero, nada! Maybe we should try it with 2 sides for a while. It can't hurt.

Yes, it can, and often does.  As ImaDot stated, two unregulated sides can have some major downside to it.  That would make the situation worse.  Change is not always an improvement, no matter how many times people say things need to change or the game will die.

Why dont we get rid of Knights and have two sides in game :old:
Because in the end it's only 'round and 'round.....

And as lunatic noted, you are knigit along with the rest of us so stop feeling bad about shooting all the bish and rook missions down. Stiff upper lip and all that.

It might help with the problem of finding a fight.  Last night about midnight CDT the Rooks and Bish had a nice furball going and I looked over in Nitland and they had no dar-bars on either border - nothing.  . . .


This happened to the Rooks twice this last week as the bish and knights went at it.  I agree, time to try the two country again.  Either that or do something like offering a country  a shared perk bounty for each base capture.   That way  the uninvolved country can sweep through bases and make a few extra perks for something to do.

Coming in when they are winning and leaving when they are not :rofl

It might not have worked when 700/800 people were online,  now there is half that population at peak time.  Nothing will kill this game faster than not being able to find action.

It could certainly be tried in the MA for a couple of weeks...would be interesting to see if it helps.  Seems like there are only enough online during off-peak hours for one or two good fights and the maps are large enough that those who want milk runs could still fly "away" from the action.
