Affinity Scales ALE map
-
im almost done ALE anyway , i would be done except the commentary pisses me off so bad i cant bring myself to suffer through multiple games
Yeah, I turned off broadcast commentary long ago. It's repetitive and I don't need that sort of negativity. I turn on Spotify or Pandora and let the music play in the background.

@DuboBrew_PSN wrong league and that map was a breeze
-
@nflman2033_MLBTS ,i idnt think of steal , the added games for the rewwards offered isnt worth the effort , usually when i get a verly aggressive map i restart and it loosens up , i restarted this one 3 times and it seemed to get worse
-
@Rocko-Vereesh_XBL i do that too , store 5 at a bottle neck it prevents them from reclaiming , ive even parked 30 before if they are stocked like that incase you get what i call a runner , you free up a runner and they do nt stop until they are empty , so pop a brick wall of 30 and if they attack they die
the problem with this map is not only aggressive , for me at least , you cant build a base , there are not enough fans to claim to build a base , for instance , i grabbed as many free spots i could at the start , that only raised my reinforce amount to 4 , so reinforce you are starting a 4 , you start the map with 3 times that if i am rememberung correctly
so next i figure , just dash for the O's and open that up , i think it was harder than allstar , so i beat them but look at the map , it really doesnt add too many to beat to get your reinforce # up , and added bonus the other side and low center are cooking ike a pressure cooker
there are not too many maps i do not do , but it does happen

From my experience, the CPU will only be aggressive once they build up enough armies. So if you dont want extra games by stealing, you will have play on harder difficulty to take out the strong holds faster(less turns). Essentially treating it like conquest Extreme.

With this map you can't get fans up by taking a lot of territories, theres not as many to take. So you either steal fans or go after strongholds from a weaker position, which is AS or higher. But if you skip attacking turns to build up, the CPU will start coming for you.

I played the first couple of games on All-Star, and from there on out was able to play everything else on veteran. Because I didn't keep hitting reinforcements the map goes a lot faster because there's less to Attack

I find I do better on all star than veteran.

I fill up as many blank spaces as I can before I attack any stronghold, unless there’s a “goal” saying to defeat someone on the first turn. But when you surround your strongholds with spaces of your fans it’s very unlikely your stronghold will get attacked. I have to “defend” one of my own strongholds maybe once a year. I don’t even need to put more than 1 fan on my strongholds.
-
@DuboBrew_PSN - You need 4x the amount of fans their stronghold has. Attacking 24 with 99 should have had a Rookie option (24x4=96). But attacking the 27 would only offer Veteran and higher for difficulty.
Try your best not to let them get to 25 if you're aiming for Rookie. When they're above 25, I often have to surround their stronghold with hexagons of 10+ each. Then inevitably on the CPU's turn they will try to attack your hexagons surrounding them to lessen your numbers. But it always brings down their number too. If they attack those enough, you can eventually attack with a Rookie option when their number falls below 25. (Assuming a 99 attack)

@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN i know how to play conquest , ive been playing it since the first year it was implemented , i think i have described the issues pretty clearly that ive been having with the\is map , its a map i may just Pick at here and there , or just forget about it , the rewards are not that much , i just felt it was very strange that the other affinity maps were very doable yet they singled ALE out for a monster
if some people are not seeing the aggressiveness that i am experiencing , i have no answer , i LITERALLY play 75% conquest and 25% Mini seasons

@nflman2033_MLBTS thankyou
-
@hoo_pharted_PSN bizarre, I'm gonna have to go back and look to see why it's such a an issue for you, this one took me like 14 turns. I haven't been attacked by the cpu on a stronghold yet this year, including this one.

Now that you said that, your home cpu will attack you. Watch. 🤪

@TheGoaler_MLBTS I don't have a home🥴

Not really seeing it being any more difficult but rather time consuming based on its structure. I've finished the AL and NL East affinity and by the time I completed the East map I was already at 160,000 just from playing all those games and jumped to 180,000.
-
@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN bizzar is the word to describe , why make the other 2 maps a breeze and then i get the [censored] kicked out of me 3 tries in a row for this one
