Why is Amerish so unpopular?

Amerish? I've never been there.

The tech plant locations are kinda silly, though the Amp stations (that give air resources) are much closer for VS/NC than it is for TR so there's that.... if there was enough prolonged air fighting for air resources to actually matter. Being that air is such a superior way of getting around (Galaxy vs Sunderer for moving a squad?) the tech plant locations are slightly less important.

Unfortunately every continent is the air continent right now, so air doesn't need to seek refuge on Amerish. They just go there to get their token 10% discount back every now and then.

It kinda has a crown in the middle of the map, it's just multiple bases over a larger area. The entire middle of Amerish is kinda interesting in terms of "who is this territory supposed to belong to by 'default'?"

Between Esamir and Amerish, I like Amerish more. I avoid Indar because of the Crown. :\

In Jaeger, each faction generally has their own continent but the TR and VS love to come to NC's Amerish more often than not to fight us, so I fight there the most.

It's definitely not the place for land vehicles, especially for the Vanu if going East from the warp gate.
Lots of fun in a turbo charged flash though if not playing the meta game.

i think the reason most people avoid amerish is because it takes so fricken long to get anywhere using land vehicles.

you're pretty much forced into using air to get around, and gals and libs have a pretty long cooldown and high resource cost, while since everyone else is also using air to get around, you get shot down pretty fast

The only thing TR needs a tech plant for is to tie up enemy forces

because your faction can't farm certs there

I like all the continents. They need to implement an incentive system every now and then to entice players to move around more.

Indar may also just be flavor of the month too. Eventually everyone will desire new scenery

Its the third continent and favors vehicles less.

I like Amerish a lot actually. It has some really interesting bases. Actually I like Amerish and Esamir both better than Indar, but they never have as much action.

The terrain is the main bottleneck for me. It's nearly impossible to take a shorcut with my sunderer which i drive all the times. Mountains everywhere so i rather avoid this continent.

LOL - forgetting something?

How about, oh, I dunno, infantry?!

ROFL - try WALKING anywhere on Amerish. Holy crap, this is a Reaver-side player's dream. SOOOOO many ridiculously high mountains and even hills with inexplicable 'your dude gives up and can't climb that bumb' features.

It's an insanely impossible map to navigate. Unless you are an aircav outfit, just forget it. And that's annoying when you have two bases, like, right next to each other on the map, that on Indar or Esamir you could casually walk from one to the other...but on Amerish, you need to board a galaxy to avoid a half-hour detour hike around the strangely-insurmountable hill between the points.

I do hate Amerish. I rather like Esamir more than Indar, but Amerish is AWFUL...

Amerish has some interesting bases, but inbetween, there's often only one way to get from A to B, which is the road.

A bunch of not so obvious alternative routes would be nice to have.

Also, NC 90%... you go and turn a control point, 5 seconds later there's a lib shelling the whole place.

Amerish is no fun to play, because of the lighting. In some areas it is too bright and in most areas it is way too dark. Also you cannot get anywhere with ground vehicles (especially AMS for respawn). It almost plays out like Ceryshen in PS1 which was arguably the worst continent of all.

Why is Amerish unpopular?

Because it isn't flat with sight-lines that make long distance sniping easy as hell.

Because it's "Harrrrd" to fly there.

Because it's terrain actually promotes tactical combat.

Because flanking actually works there.

Because it doesn't have the cert-farm that is Crown.

Because VS and TR don't "like it".

Because "NC is Super OP on dat map".

Because their ****** f*cking computers can't process vegetation or water.

Because you have to think for one f*cking second before attacking something.

Feel free to add to the list.

That sounds about right.

Its vehicle unfriendly , and promotes infantrie. Isnt it funny , its what those nerf X guys want, but they dont go there. So why indar, well VS and TR have the best postion there.

Because most gamers are stupid. Not going to bother elaborating, if you don't understand, you're stupid.
