Brilliant new VS strategy from Emerald!


Today I noticed a new strategy in practice by the Vanu sovereignty on Oshur and Amerish that allows them to sweep across entire continents. I have to admit that it was helped along by the combined efforts of the recent patch that enable respawn defenders and disabled the ability to hack the base next to your sanc. Are you ready for this? It's called "Let them win" and it goes a little something like this.

After it becomes apparent that your enemy is either too numerous or too well organized to defeat using the resources you have available, leave. You can either just leave the continent or leave Planetside entirely. Go to Searhus or the Driving Range, they're always nice places. By the time you get back, the enemy will have won, and, having soaked up some nice exp from defenders that didn't know any better, they will leave as well. This is your chance.

At this point it is possible to reclaim your dignity and your territory. Go to Amerish/Oshur/Esamir and start capturing the bases. There will be no enemies there, of course, since their momentum is gone and defending those bases is of questionable value. So you will get nothing for the captures except for a warm fuzzy feeling, but anyway, those bases can't stay Terran, can they? More than likely you will encounter 0 resistance until you get to the very last bases on the continent, at which point your enemies will realize that there are captures to be made. For these captures you and the rest of the vanu horde that is travelling with you will gain a small amount of experience, perhaps as much as a thousand points, for crushing the meagre forces assembling to drive you back.

Okay, fun is over. They will, eventually, gain enough momentum such that you will have to employ the let them win strategy again. The best thing about this strategy is that it doesn't require your presence, and allows you to do small, life-affirming tasks in the interim, like eating.

Now, soldiers, go forth and let them conquer!
