Attacking system: BAXX vs. DEX

[bjornredtail]

 Ok, which attacking system is better in terms of ease of use and gameplay.

The system in the origional RWL, and in DEX is common to all Promisance games. You select the attack type (eg. Frontal Assult, Standard attack, etc.), set up the number of troops you want to send, select a target, and click attack. No further things can be altered.


BAXX brought in a new attacking system. You select a target, select an attack type (See above), set the number of troops to send, set up their distrabuation in between 4 groups (eg. 25% in group 1, 25% group 2, etc.) for each troop type, select the tatics to be used by that group (eg. Attack, Drive, Flank, etc.) and hit attack.

 I'd prefer DEX, because then people couldn't sack or capture you, and the % thing isn't too often used or helpful.  But DAXX is much better for some.  I voted other because I'd only like DEX to save myself. XD

 BAXX because I just now realized how to use it.

[Naltaca]

 I'm confused by all the acronyms for the choices.

[calria]

 DAXX!

 Heheh- it's says "DAXX", but I chose it anyway (BAXX).

 I only had a small bit of experience with DEX. It was enough to convince me that the expanision had a few things I didn't quite like. Sack and capture can annoy you, but can also be annoying to others. Drive and the reverse land losses were good for a laugh. I don't like the percents, though. The defender's percents are always more "even" than the attackers, so that a 100, 0, 0, 0 : Drive, Attack, Attack, Attack battle would err in favor of the attacker. Add that to the rat's 2:1 offensive ratio. Suddenly, nobody bothers to defend. Everyone simply "borrows" land and leader-loots. What happened to the value of land? What happened to the quantity of it? What happened to indy strategies?

Does someone mind changeing the poll for me?

 BAXX. *noddles* Superior, yiss, confusing-er, also yiss.

Your wish is my command. *bows and walks away*

 I like DAXX better. BAXX is for the conformists. ^-^

 BAXX is better once you figure how to use it.  Really helps with the pesky Leader massers... ;)

Unless you're a "pesky leader masser"...
