In Concept: Capitols

[Jagd]

Well sort of, but every continent other than Searhus has 4 warpgates-- 1 from a Sanctuary, and 3 from enemy home continents. Searhus just has 3 gates, each leading to a different empire's home continent. This isn't going to change that at all, except for the fact that there are no permanent home continents. SmokeJumper made a post about how what they are hoping for, is empires to just "pick their own" home continents by locking them down, and hopefully staying to defend them for a while.

But a lock stablelizes the warpgate so they don't swap anymore. You grab a base for OBO, better lock the con't to secure it.

How so? The VS suck at attacking, since they specialize in tactical warfare, not dead out assault

These "Capitols" need to be in the Caves so that we all have a reason to go down and fight there.

Oh and:

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO INSTANT ACTION INTO THE CAVES!!
Currently when you instant action all that happens is that you go to the most least populated area possible. As much fun as being in the only friendly held tower on a continant is, Instant action in areas where there is actual battle would be a lot better and for gosh sakes, make people instant action into the caves sometimes!

Frag the caves, let that aborted fetus of an idea die, the last thing I want is something to force me down there.

You could fool me, they are all out attacking ish 24/7 on emerald

The capitals should have a direct link to the caves thus making them even more of an objective to get and hopefully bring battles in the caves also.
