Running Away...

Postby Jomskylark » Wed Apr 08, 2009 12:42 am

// Please don't answer with something like "they're stick people, this is natural" //

Hello,

One of my worst problems when playing is the fact that the Multiwinians often run away from battles. They'll start fighting, and then they flee. I have to pull them back over and over and I lose so much... the other team never flees.

Does anybody have suggestions for how to overcome/avoid this?

Thanks!

They're stick people, this is natural. :P

Use formations?

Attack with greater strength, so you overwhelm the enemy?

Do you think a real life soldier is going to rush into the heat of battle guns blazing? no. A real soldier would try to take cover as they're shot at. Multiwinians and Darwinians take their life's to be more precious than charging a firing gun turret, or running over a grenade to get the enemy.

plus there i a lot less cover than there usually is in real life.

Besides they seem to shoot better with their back facing to the enemy. :?

Haha, yeah, but why doesn't the enemy run away?

Because there are more of them? Because of observer bias? Because they do?

Pick any of the above.

Well, if they're in formation or cornered, they kind of can't. Otherwise, either they're either trying to move through you or should be backing off.
