TWL-B Rules - Changing Ships

[Divine Rides]

Ship changes are a terrible idea- this is twls- it was a cute twist for twds- let people sort out what works best for them, now you better know. I feel strongly against allowing ANY ship changes. Infinite switches and a sub or two don't bother me.

Having no shipchanges tests the squads ability to organise matches beforehand, and wasn't a good organisation one of the things that got some squads into TWL? If a squad hasn't got a tactic planned out, too bad...

[Dim]

I agree, Especially if one tactic doesnt work, and you cant change ships, your buggered.

But that also kills off any kind of strategy and reaction to game playing. Ever seen any kind of team in any sport having hard time with their current strat and NOT changing it ?
It's a 30mins game, who knows what can happen, certain amount of ship-changes/subs should be alowed

Agreed. But only 1 or 2 ship changes. Anything above 2 is ridiculous because 3 or more shipchanges just adds confusion and constant shipchanging in reaction to the other team's shipchanging.

Exactly, that's why there should be 2 ship changes per say. The fact that you can't change ships now doesn't determine how "organized" you are, it's about strategy, not organization. Where did that come into paly? Did I miss something?

Compromise at 1 shipchange?

Blind lineups will be implemented into the TWL bots.

Just a question, but did you guys feel this was necessary for only basing? or do you think this is something that should be used for any league regardless?

Naw, no need, I like to see who's in in WB/Jav, because it doesn't matter, since all the ships are the same in those 2 different leagues.

[Eggs R Evil]

I'd like to see 1 shipchange.

ship changes are busch league- part of the charm of twlb is that teams have their own styles and they have to adapt to everyone else and visa versa- ship changes are a cop out. ?go base ?go twbd and change all you want.

[ZeUs!!]

Yeah, but its going to suck when one team gets their tactics horibly wrong and you have to sit there for half and hour in the shittest game of your life. I say 2 ship changes.

then teams like that shouldn't be in the twl-b in the first place. most squads here are smart enough to have a strong lineup (and some are even smarter and have backup players so they CAN change their strategy mid-game if needed).

what part of this is so hard to understand?

The fact is that most strategies are based to ships ... NOT PLAYERS (in general). That is the reason ship changes are needed.
