KRD and Komodo make good points in response to my original post. Same with Anubis and long maps. I agree with what your saying.
I just felt that sg allowed for notchers to pin point the hides between a notches and then sg a hide. But like you said KRD, in those turns i could be moving and setting up my own base and using sg to my own advantage.
I think the maps, especially presaved is just as valid as my sg point and i was mainly trying to say that the boarderline darksiding tactics that you used to be able to do are harder to implement these days..
I know what type of maps i'll be hosting on this season
