no longer getting manpower in assault zones

[SiCall]

During games against my friend, the team that has less points (in assault zones) allways get less manpower (some time into the game), it's independent on CP, but allways seem to happen to the one with the least amount of points or the one whom is losing.

The winning party will be getting somewhat +3.0 MP - +0.4 MP
and the losing party will be getting somewhat 0.0 MP - +0.4 MP

why is this? wouldn't it be fair for both to be getting the same amount or less mp/pr sec depending on CP?

It is not based on who is winning, but there is a system called payback, the more units you lose, the more mp you gain, this will cap out at the default 3000mp.

so it is normal, considering i have lost all my units, i am losing because i have no units, and i get +0.0 MP - +0.4 MP, whilst my opponent, with full CP army, gets +3.0 MP - +0.4 MP ??

EDIT: that just seems like a weird design choice to me :/

well, if you are getting +0.0 that should only happen if you have reached the 3,000 pt mark. Then you start gaining points very very slowly.

Also is it 1v1? 2v1? 2v2? If you are playing odd numbers the team with less players will get more points to make up for the lack of points that would be coming in had there been another player.

you should get slight more MP when your losing. Mind you the difference isn't much, so don't base any strategies on CP payback gain .. its a slight boost for a losing player.
Those can argue though if your losing you should lose anyway and get 0 payback.. Any more payback will make losing units mean nothing, and playing well not meaning much either. But as the losing player you do get slightly more resources faster then your opponent because of this payback thing. But if you both have the same CP you get the same.

The team losing does not get less MP, the team with less CP should get more.. but it's only slightly. You all start with that 3000mp pool, it may be possible you are counting it when your payback is over. Lets say you lost only 1 squad, and you had 0 cp, by 2 minutes you have had all the unit payed back.. then your gain on payback will be 0 by two mintues. But most games if you play as the game is meant to be played, you lose units quicker then payback can pay them back..

Pay back based on CP as follows
CP - MP/sec
0 - 1.00
50 - 0.80
60 - 0.70
70 - 0.60
80 - 0.50
90 - 0.40
