I'm so over conquest
-
I wonder how many hours (days?) of my life have been spent simming hexagons over the last 5 years. The new Season 3 conquest is such a slog. The CPU is stacking hexes so fast. It's taking forever to get through this and it has nothing to do with baseball. There is absolutely nothing entertaining about simming, reloading, simming, reloading, simming, reloading, etc. Can we rethink the entire format next year?

At least Conquest doesn't take as long as Risk. It could be worse. They really do need to rethink Conquest, though.

"it could be worse" is a very, very low bar to clear. It could always be worse. Ramone could walk into my living room and step on my dog and club me in the nuggets. But that doesn't make all the simming any less of a massive waste of time.

That would definitely be worse!

I love playing conquest, I think it's one of the best things about this game

I also love playing Conquest. But I hate the incessant simming. I'm a 99% offline player so Conquest is where I do most of my gaming. But I like to play baseball and not fight imaginary numbers against one another.

They wanna keep the one thing they originally stole from someone else. There is no reason for tens of thousands of territories to be conquered. They most likely use it for engagement data to look good.
And nobody likes playing conquest, they like three inning games. Stop pretending the 87-4 simulation is some sort of accomplishment, the 85-3 isn’t either, or the 84-3 that follows, or the 82-2 after that. How simple must a person be to find numbers counting down fun. Have they not tried looking at a clock? I bet they’d win every time at that game

@SchnauzerFace I would prefer a mini season set up just against the mlb teams
-
@SchnauzerFace i just do 3 strongholds and restart.
-
@UnsaferRainbows what about a semi-extreme USA map: 9 innings games.
-
@SchnauzerFace
Only 15 more TA’s to do for the year. You will get through this.

Wondering if those who are tired of simming actually remember how slow this process used to be?
It does not negate the feelings of those who don't like it but the simming used to be so much slower.

Iceland is the key. Always.

Conquest might be the stupidest mode in the game

Their Seasons format is causing a lot of unintended issues for them. A power creep works best with their previous Innings format. They gave us Seasons last year as a way to support "99's Day 1"... That was a flop, so they took away the 99's Day 1 (thankfully), but unfortunately, kept Seasons.
We want to sprint through CH 3 because we know these cards will expire. But to support a power creep, they adjust things that makes the game not fun and the rewards take too long to acquire.... (Such as only 2 vouchers for completing Showdown Extreme, or slow progressing Conquest games where the Bronze CPU Pitcher is throwing 2-3 Balls per AB and painting corners with seemingly 60 mph Curveballs, etc.).
If they are going to keep the power creep next year, then they need to go back to their Innings format.

@UnsaferRainbows
Yes! This would be awesome. They could have one mode that's just against current MLB teams, and then an "Extreme" mode that is against all-time teams. They could have a version of the White Sox that has Griffey and Lofton and Gossage and Alomar and whoever else. Or they could have theme teams that show off some interesting lineups using the captains. Or "All Time Contact Hitters" or "All Stars of the 50s" or any number of different fun lineups. The way they do it right now makes Mini Seasons kind of boring. I love the idea of Mini Seasons, but I feel like the execution is just kind of a dud.

Dude.......

My issue is all of a sudden the AI in Conquest is back to how it was pre-23. The newest one battles like life or death when I'm just trying to clear the map after beating all the strongholds. It's such a pain. I swear they are just pushing offline people to online everywhere in the game.
What the heck hapoened?

I just realized too there is no team affinity xp it’s just season 1 and bosses xp

By the time I got to the Yankees area on like turn 18 they had 18 reinforcements in every territory on the outer ring. It was very annoying
