Alliance Maps

I would like to see more equally based maps. Most of the maps favor one faction and it should not be that way. I really dont enjoy loosing to a team that simply won because of shrine locations. I want it to be fair and loose to a team that simply out skilled me and played better. The shrines should mirror one another always.

The maps are skewed for a reason, once you push into enemy territory of course they are going to have the upper hand. Maybe add another neutral map or two but balancing all 5 out would not reflect the reality of the situation.

When it gets biased against you makes it more fun when you win. I like etnaran keys anyway, my personal favourite map to play on (I'm Kurzick)

I dont agree, I think it should all be fair. No one should get a more favorable map. They all should be neutral and mirror each other.

That's the whole point of AB - the changing balance of the sides. If anything, what I would like to see is a variant or two of each map, so that if you are playing on the disdvantaged Kurzick side, for example, there are one of three maps that might load. Outside of that, its good the way it is. Variety in maps would help, not changing the system.

Since AB affects town control, if Kurzicks are controlling lots of Luxon towns, then it should be easier for Luxons, or at least biased in their favour

So you want Kaanai Canyon and the Ancestral Lands to be equally advantaged for both sides? Well then, what is the point on fighting on either of them? If a group of Kurzics got through the Eteran Keys with the luxon advantage and pushed them back to Kaanai then won't they just continue to win, especially withouth the luxon advantage? With this in, alliance battles would probably become stuck on one map again like when Factions came out in which the battles always took place in Eteran or Salt Spray.

Putting this into real terms, if you know the land, you fight better on it. Examples are all over the place, American Revolution as one. So wouldn't it make sense in the first place for the luxon to have an advantage when fighting in their own territory?

The only thing I do agree on is more maps. If you want to have the advantage in a battle, just do AB when it is in your territory, that is what I do.

I understand what Doctor Norris is saying and I agree to a point. But i also agree with everyone else. I think there should be more neutral maps and leave the others be. It makes sence that if you are fighting on you own territory then you would set the shrines to be at your advantage. This is battle smart. You want the upper hand.

Look at Normandy. It was hard as hell for ally troops to make it up the beach and take over. thousands were lost. But the victory is considered one of the if not the greatest victory the US and its allies have ever had.
