ATTENTION: The following pictures are the archetypes of the possible foothold layouts. The lattice and the Warpgate Owners may vary.
Instead of sharing a full report on what I think about the said lattice layouts, guys, I'll just give them louder names. Feel free to discuss/commend/rebuke/vote for any of the following layouts:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Foothold Setup Unmodified aka "All Hail the Stalemate":
2. Single Lattice Homeconts aka "Lock the Attack Angles":
3. Single Lattice Shared Homeconts aka "Prescribed 2-way Path":
4. Multiple Lattice Homeconts aka "PlanetSide Original Mini" aka "How can we fit here?":
5. Single Lattice Double Homeconts aka "Always On the Run":
More Notes:
- Esamir and Amerish BWGs are of random placement.
- These examples explain quite clearly why the devs went with the #1 archetype. Compared to all others (with absence of sanctuaries taken into consideration) #1 option gives the highest amount of people per server.
(666+666+666) + (666+666+666) + (666+666+666)
- Please have a crystal clear mind about the neutral warpgates handling method. We can have several choices for the way they operate: Non-contestable, always open; Non-contestable, accessibility is based on adjacency; Contestable, effectless hex; Contestable, adjacency-effecting hex.
