Betaman, tell me, what kind of strategy you can use against ~60 guys with 4-5k hp in average and half of them have golden gun? Multies (common practice on beta), or "strategy that consist of countering hp tanks by getting more of your hp tanks?" It is really exciting when attackers have 2:1 (or more) advantage in hp in 70vs60 battle (large fort)
Please read discussion before my post. There was a talk about how 5 tanks take all forts by rushing to flag in some world and about how "unfair" HP tanks are as even a few can take any fort. Such situation is easily manageable if defenders work in a team by blocking right sectors and switching - even if defenders do not have tanks.
To answer question about defense against 60 ppl with 4-5k hp on average against regular 1-2k hp players - there is no defense as defenders simply dont have enough HP. And we all know that HP is the main skill in fort battles.
In Beta i havent seen such many people with such HP on average and half of them having golden guns to attack or defend. If i understand correctly you are talking in exaggerative way about russians. I've looked at russians last attack on big fort (Russia 4B) - they did not even filled their side (were 59 out of 70) and had average HP of 2269. When defenders had 60 people out of 60 and average HP was 2336. HP, numbers, Defense bonuses from walls and towers were on a side of defenders. But defenders were all killed while russians lost only 10 people. This example clearly shows that just having more HP does not lead to victory automatically and even in attack its possible to win if you have less hp and numbers but good team and smart commanders.
Is Beta even a real world? If I'm not mistaken plenty of stuff you can do on Beta are not available on real worlds... now if you said some .net world it would work.
With increase of player limit to 10000 Beta has become more real then many of regular worlds. On Beta there is only one premium that we dont have on regular worlds - ability to change all skills for gold which makes easier to try different builds and ways of playing.
Right now on Beta you can meet the best players from different servers who actually compete even after 2 years. That is there are still many fractions who fight each other and some alliances have more forts not because they became super alliance which unites thousands of players but because of their skill.
In addition another difference from regular worlds is that there you can not be banned for using game features like selling something for too high or too low. This gives more freedom, piece of mind and enjoyment to play and additional active people to play with. Actually there is even an alliance which reflects that - Dot Net Rejects
