Hi. I'm new around here. Only registered to post about this issue.
My friends and I have been playing Battle Tanks for a few months now. We only do IH games over LAN. Lately, since we've all gotten better I have noticed that all of our games go to Dark Force. There are a few reasons that have to do with the map itself I can see for this.
1. Top Lane
There is a ramp leading from the Dark Force control point that goes parralel to the lane. A ground tank can use this ramp to pull incoming Light Force creeps safely towards his control point. This allows him to take more of the creeps kills because his creeps will either not aggro or have trouble getting in range. It also puts his own creeps in between him and his lane opponent. I noticed that there is no equivolent terrain advantage for Light force on Bottom Lane.
2. Mid Lane
Every game Dark Force pushes past the middle shop and people on Light Force who want to buy stuff there usually have to suicide. I don't know what causes it. This is a huge issue for us because we rarely have a 5v5. With less people, the overall push advantage Dark Force gets makes it impossible for Light Force to win. I think it's still a problem for 5v5 but much less noticable.
