multiplayer conquest

[jfblake90]

Will there be a PvP Conquest? Or is already possible and I just dont know how?

There is currently no PvP Conquest option.

It has been discussed before but I don't recall any developer commenting on any plans for adding it.

I suspect that it might not be as good as it sounds.

One player will probably gain a 'lead' in the early battles and the losing player just disappears and doesn't play again.

At least with one off matches losing a game doesn't put you in a 'bad' position for the next match. With Conquest a player could lose a large part of their force and be unable to effectively fight back for subsequent battles.

They could tweak the economic options. I dont like the single matches. Theres no tech progression. Players just spam the same crap over and over.

What makes you think PvP conquest will be any different?

If anything I expect it would be worse.
You can only use what you have researched and research points are limited.

research big tank and decent infantry ........ WIN.
research elite tier 5 infantry cover with decent support ...... WIN.
research low tier infantry and useless AT gun ... LOSE
Rinse and repeat.

You can't refund research points so once you've spent them you are locked into your choice.

You didn't research a decent AT gun and the enemy has a decent tank? Now you've got a problem that will continue in every battle until you get enough RP to "catch up".

You need alot of research points to get to the upper tech. You dont even need a decent AT gun to take on the early tanks. The 20mm AA guns will wipe the floor with them.

If somebody crams all their research to get to 1 elite unit then they probably wont win. There isnt a 1 type of unit beats all. It would make them 1 dimensional. In the regular games all the tech is already there so they dont have to worry about it.

conquest would be much better. They might have to tweak the economics so that 1 players doesnt run away with manpower from each win but thats about it.

They should work on co-op more than a PVP mode. Both players should have an army and the supplies split between them. No need to transfer troops. Each player has their own call ins and techs researched.
