First of all, enjoying TW so far, it’s a lot of fun and very refreshing.
One MAJOR issue is arising is that very soon almost every matchup will end on a draw.
Why? Because after ironing out the limited strategies there are and first time mistakes, it will eventually boil back down to the fact that when humans face AI, they will always have the advantage.
I find it hard to believe this game mode stays interesting once the novelty wears off if most matchups become a “full guild doing a Galactic Wars campaign”, especially when the consistent prize for completing it will be 2nd place.
But, my grandma always told me that I should never talk about a problem without offering a solution and in this case it’s a pretty simple one.
Award banners for defensive holds too. If this is done, a draw is still possible, but it will be the anomaly rather than the norm (which is what is trending to be the case) and will only happen when two guilds that are truly equal both strategically and on roster and in that case, just like in Chess, a draw is acceptable.
Hope this gets considered.
