WAR (Warhammer Online)

In whatever zone is currently hottest (generally defaults to chaos vs empire) you usually have a big zerg vs zerg going on at one of the keeps. There are also smaller warbands running around capturing targets elsewhere. You can generally choose which style of play you want.

It seems that the only real tactic of getting anything done is to zerg here or zerg there .....

Would love to hear some other opinions with actual practical tactics...

Yes ZERG will rule all, except a well organized VoIP wargroup(s).

Well Zerging is a viable strategy because it's the simplest and fastest to execute.  However if Zerging in WAR is a dominant strategy in RvR then that would be terrible.

Well it would only be terrible for players buying into the hype that Warhammer is supposed to be a game based on skill.  So if the dominant strategy is the one that requires no skill and thusly rewards players that have no skill with better gear to the point where it just becomes World of Warhammer then what's the point?

And if you think about it, World of Warhammer may be the direction that Mythic was going for all this time because such a game would probbably sell more than a game that only gave RvR rewards to people that deserved it.

If you want a bunch of no-skill morons in your zerg, that's fine by me. If I have a huge group of players I want those players to be at least relatively skilled. What I don't want is to go up against a smaller force that has terrain advantage. But that's what'll happen, because otherwise the smaller force has no chance.

Destruction zerges all the time since they usually have a larger population but even still Order gives them a run for their money.  I like to call them Order and Disorder since that is usually how they both act.

Well using overwhelming force to overpower and/or divide the enemy just so happens to be an effective method of winning the game, especially in one where everyone is a newbie.

But yes, I have seen other methods used to win scenarios or RvR. No, I don't feel like getting into the niggly details.
