PWI Nation War Sunday Feb 24th, 2013

With the current layout of NW we have right now, its next to impossible to strategize if you're in certain nations. For instance,

If you're flame, you're bound to get attacked by other nations from the very beginning cuz people tend to move down and not up. Its a psychological thing. We often tend to move down and right and completely ignore left and up.
However, after having fought many nation wars, we, the perfect world players, have started to think that its better to move left and up instead. And that is where the dilemma lies.
With the current messed up layout of the NW map, if people go to left to attack light at the very beginning, sure light will get baselocked and will lose a lot of their territories but then the opposite side(aka Dark nation) starts to get ignored by other nations and hence they win at the end in this situation.

If instead, people moved to the right to attack dark first, light will get completely ignored and they'll win at the end.

After having fought many wars, flame nation ppl tend to go up towards light and baselock them but they dont usually get backed up by their nation so there's no way ONE op squad can hold down all the territories within light's base. Its bound to lose one of its lands at some point. WHen that happens, all the light people sneak away towards flame and being at a huge disadvantage currently, flame gets utterly destroyed at the end.


To sum it all, you're partly right. People should communicate more via Nation chat and try to split up their forces equally to all sides so they dont get landlocked by other nations.
Also, in my opinion, the best way to not face a landlock in the current map layout is to not try to landlock the base but the territories that lie 2nd to the neighboring base territories. This way, OP squads can always always keep in check when they're about to get baselocked and react accordingly. And even if they lose, their enemies still got one more layer of territories to pass through before finally getting to our base.


This response was too long lol but it pretty much sums how light always seems to come 1st or 2nd every single time and flame always comes in last(sunday was an exception)
