Actualy failure its doing the opposite. Its lowering the amount of skill. Bases are now going to be even more flawed now than before. Since theres no choke points to make numbers not matter (to clarify a choke point is a narrow strech of anything exp old bbz flag room). Now its going to be all numbers with how wide open battlefields are. Flag rushers numbers are going to spike darasticly. Graal has stripped defenders of setting up machine gun nest making crates now absolutly useless. Why? Because theres no good places to put them. Its too wide in the open and too easy to flank. There is a solution too fix wide in the open spaces. Solution is add small places to take cover. No i dont meen those massive gang meeting tables. I mean those small 2 people seating tables. Start adding a lot of those too. Also reinforcements still come in way too damn fast. It got a little better with the doors. But those double doors have less HP than normal doors. Double doors need to have like 200 hitpoints to get through. Normal Doors take about 79 damage before breaking.
Thanks for being assholes and ruining another one of the games great gameplay features era.
Also era have you heard of the term "if its not broken don't fix it?" This game needs to start following that saying.
