In the past, some players tried to popularize the “OUTBACK OCTAGON” mode, which had 1 or 2 kings. People didn’t like it and always went back to playing the standard FFA (nomad, megarandom and WITHOUT KING).
I was able to observe that the dynamics of these games with kings are completely different and change the nature of the game as we know it.
It is common for the games to become real “lotteries” of hunting for kings, and the practice of “donating kings” is common, and certainly having a privileged starting position is a much more decisive factor in victory than in the FFA games of the past.
It is impossible to perform maneuvers to move from place to place (in the case of starting between 2 enemies, which usually results in an unfair 2v1), because transferring the king is always a risk, and it is practically impossible to perform this maneuver when some players have already reached the third age.
The biggest “complainers” (or whiners) who complained about the old FFA games were simply players who played FFA just to “mess around”, because they don’t have the ability to “read the game” and usually they play without commitment, just to make fun and joke. I can’t believe that the developers allowed themselves to be influenced by such very bad suggestions, which literally ruined FFA.
It is common for many games to have only 2-3 players on a very large map, and the use of cavalry has proven to be a very favored option, which almost makes obsolete the use of infantry and archers, for example.
Therefore, I ASK to allow FFA NO KING in quick match!!!
