sphyrth Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I watched a player extending the limits of his territory by building a structure just at the edge of it, then using the extended territory influence of that structure to create more structures and so on. I tried to experiment on it (see attachment), and this is what I think: On one side, it seems to make the idea of Territory Boundaries meaningless. On the other, it has some risk factors to be pulled off effectively. My question is: Is this a bug that needs to be fixed, or is it an acceptable mechanic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 What if you would destroy one of the barracks in the middle of the chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 The Barracks outside my base would eventually belong to Gaia, which is one of the risk factors about this strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 This isn't a bug as its not a viable strategy. It eventually becomes a lot more expensive than just upgrading to town phase and placing a new CC, and as said already, there's a big risk when one Barack in the chain gets attacked.

Alekusu Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 ffm used to do this with houses but it was too easy to punish (destroy/capture one house and everything is for gaia). However this can be very useful in some cases, for example if you have a metal spot near your base but you cannot reach it. A barrack or a few houses on the edge of your territory and you'll reach it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphyrth Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 1. It's not a bug 2. It's impractical for Base Expansion 3. It's mainly useful for minor Base Extension Got it, thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
