In any war a leader is looking to have superior numbers.
Many war leaders in the past would not take their troops into battle unless they knew that they had a 3-1 man advantage to secure their victory.
Now, I'm not saying that this is an historical war, it's not, it's a game.
However, those bg's that do form must be laughing their socks of at us mids.
I'm not saying they play with any skill or style, they simple steam roll everything that comes along. its not fun for us, no fun at all.
There can't be great rps in it for the zerg either, but at least they have a continual stream of rps as it is very hard to actually bring any of them down whilst they just overrun us.
However, it must be great fun for the people in the bg, continually twatting groups in other realms with no organised response and continually being on the winning end of the battle because they have realised one simple fact ...
superior numbers win.
So, what is the solution?
To me the solution seems quite obvious but it gets clouded by the anti-zerg squad.
If you're being twatted by a BG, make a BG and fight back!!!
Even up the numbers, play around with some tactics and get even.
The zerg will never go away whilst it knows it will remain unchallenged, lord of the frontier and reaper of the holy rps.
Still when i try this i come up against a couple of problems.
Firstly, not many people will join a bg to fight back because they seem to have the opinion (re-inforced by much steamrollering) that fighting in a bg is skillless because you just steamroll single groups and then we will be "Just as bad as them" and "kill the server even more".
First response: When I try to make a BG it is to attack a BG, not single groups and i hope that people who read this post will be interested in trying larger scale battles and tactics against BGs and would like in future to join my BG for the sole purpouse of forming a response and searching out zergers and giving it back to them. And then have the patience to wait for the zerg to return so we can kick them back to their port keeps once again.
Secondly, when i do get people to join the BG, they don't seem to co-operate or communicate. Being in a BG doesn't magically give you an even chance if you do not write in /bu chat what your intentions are, where your group is, or even try to formulate tactics.
We need to gather together, get info on where enmemy zerg is and then co-operate. to move the BG together in a manner so that we can get some flanking going on, some sandwiching, some co-operated strikes.
A simple zerg will stand very little chance of surviving such action if we learn how to play together as whole groups and for a change, we may, just may, stop being so damn demoralized by the aerg that we just want to log and /uninstall DAoC.
I don't need to be the leader of this BG, but once, maybe just once, I would like to see it happen ....
So, whose with me?
Who wants to make a counter zerg BG?
I know I do.
