Apparently I am in the mood for ideas today.
Suffer :-D

I would like to propose an idea that I have currently not completely thought through from all perspectives.

As a jump off point, the idea is as follows.

For a server who has complete control of all points in their Home Territory Borderland, they receive a buff to any/all/or specific holdings they have in EB.

My initial thought was Let’s say Red has complete control in their BL at the end of any given 15 min point countdown. (yes, bonuses could flop furing any given 15 min period ending if they lose even a supply camp, I am unsure if sentries should count but probably so as the bonus should be hard fought to obtain)

1) Supply camps in EB will offer a higher count of supplies (not an increase to how much a player can hold, just how much the supply camp has to offer)
2) Purchased upgrades (if ordered during the time you controlled all of your BL) could require less supplies to complete.
3) Dolyaks gain a speed bonus and carry a % more supply per trip (nothing too outrageous and the Dolyak would gain the bonus only if it left at the time the server controlled their BL. Supply would not drop back to normal if BL lost a point unless Dolyak was killed during trip.)
4) Siege would take 5 less supply to complete (If started while BL was controlled. This one is completely debatable even to me, I just wanted a #4 and couldn’t think of one at the moment)

My main reasoning for these supply chain buffs is that a servers Borderland is more important than EB (in my opinion of course) and if you have an unbroken territory, then a buff in your supply chain is warranted.
This also gives the small group an objective that assists your server in more than just “getting those points” or “reclaiming our territory” it also gives those who are watching over their BL a sense of contributing to whats going on in EB.
Also it gives small groups another objective in hitting another servers BL camps. Breaking that supply chain.

Anyhow,
Thoughts?

If you play solitaire with only one suit, your game is going to end faster and feel lacking.

This will just favour the highest population/winning server and make it harder for the struggling ones. The team with the most players will find it easier to hold it’s own BL and the team with the least players will find it harder. I don’t like the idea of giving a buff to the team that is winning, as it will just exaggerate any imbalance in the matchup.
