Had a look in the first spoilers and the first announcement. While the Barracks (or Militia Barracks) are in the files for some time, though unused and function unknown, the fieldcamp seems to be new. Maybe they'll use the intended mechanic for the barracks, which I've speculated, if built, would chip away enemy progress over time on that sector, kinda like the aggressive NPC in GvG used to do, but hopefully we find out soon.
IF and only if siege camps as we know them will still be part of GBG after this updatemust be giving something really good
or else guilds will still just use siege camps
and then it was a waste of time to create them
attrition_hint_xxx bars are might be used to indicate the chance to gain attrition. It would be a huge QoL addition, no need to check every so often how many SCs support you have, how many traps you face but the game providing, hinting that information for you.
Any additions of defensive army stats to Guild Battlegrounds would make a lot more sense if they're added to the maps we already have.
I agree, but unfortunately I believe that if this is not the case now, very soon we will see a 3rd map where only defense is used instead of attack.
then there will be a big rampage from the players
bonuses and a separate attrition counter, which sounds more fitting instead of using them to attack/conquer sectors. It would need some limitations to prevent endless fighting loop we've grown accustomed to, and I'm not so positive about them being used in battlegrounds, but given the attention they're suddenly receiving who knows what to expect.I hope not because in addition to seeing flags at 159 where the only way to force the sector to close is to type, if we can "defend" this will further promote agreements between 2 guilds to the detriment of the 6 others.
It certainly seems more logical and correct to use attack to attack and defend to defend, but InnoGames has not been known for doing what is logical and right for a long time. So I would go with the other option, just a new map that would use defense at the attack location, and for any difficulty... use diamonds, maybe some kind of $15 pack? LOLThere was an interesting idea, I've seen UBERhelp mention it, for a way to actively defend a sector under attack using
Well, perhaps this "staying out" every 2 seasons can be resolved soon if they move forward with the idea of reducing the attrition discount, thus ending the FPs and score farm that is currently exclusive to the 2 largest guilds (or the bigger guild and your fake guild), as even the players with the biggest attacks managed to do around 300 fights a day (assuming an attrition of 100) approximately with that 66% discount. So it would take a lot more effort from the two bigger guilds to keep the map closed all the time, they would have to use a lot of fake accounts, that is, more work. I believe that this compared to the current reality would give more possibility for other guilds to have more space to fight.
