i'm close to off topic...
exodus:
I agree that the hb mode is a pain to finish the other team but I don't think it's just hb mode. Ever since lots of guysstarted going air with long range (sometimes death magics) in my games it's gotten tougher and tougher to seige a base. I'm not saying it's imbalanced in normal mode. But it still can be a big pain in the ass when you don't have the best of teamates. Anyone who's not done it quite a few times already is probably going to have a tough time. I highly recomend increasing the force gold for EVERY factory that you've destroyed in the other team's base to compensate for the loss of creep gold. Or if this is already the way the force gold formula works then i think there should be a boost for the team with more base factories left. Just my opinion, maybe i'm wrong.
Side note: (going further off topic, sorry) The way things work right now I still think it's a big risk to try and bomb a base with a tcc. I think its hit points should be increased a little bit more still or its bomb range increased so that if you place it between the last set of lazer towers in the center than you can still bomb in between the front factories of the enemy's base. It's hard to stop it from being exploded by kamikaze antigravs, helicopters, tinkers, exploders, goblin tanks, infernals, titans, etc. also the new advanced troop recepie is a great way to tear down an attackers tcc and/or factories. The defenders can each put the items in lazer towers too and use more than one troop item at once making tcc bombing very difficult at times.
There was one game i was in this week that was a normal mode game and there was one of the top players of my clan on the other team (the current number 1 league player in another realm, but I won't say which one and give away who it was) and their team had doulbe our kills, all 6 cps, 2 factories, and a tcc outside our base, all our base was destroyed except for the artillery building, they had 4 players to our 2, all of this at just 30 minutes into the game and we still won the game even after being bombed once by the enemy tcc. If all the players on the other team were as skilled as their best player I'm pretty sure i would have lost, but still, i really shouldn't have been able to win that game though. It was pretty outrageous and silly. To win it i got a frost robot with all 1k ranged weapons, i put up two lazer towers with 1 or 2 gold hulls in each, plust an advanced troop recepie in each and an orbital bombardment in each. It was pretty funny but also kind of sad to crush all thier pathetic attempts to destroy our base. I also had 3 factories near the vehicle plant. Whenever they tried to set up factories and/or tcc's outside my base i would grab a troop recepie and an orbital bombardment from one of my towers and use it to crush their encampments. I also had some Tech mechs repairing my buildings.
It's really no problem finishing off a base with skilled attackers but in my opinon it's just a little tedious. I think it kind of takes the fun out of the game for the attackers.

Why's the rothchild family crest and the illuminati symbol on my 1 dollar bill? Why do rich and powerful American "christian" leaders have gay sex and worship a giant 40 foot stone owl at Beach Grove every year? Why doesn't anyone care?
