Can some1 tell me the whole deal about invading, regions? I mean what do u do with their region once u have control of it?
I mean whats the point in:mp5: if u don't gain anything from their region? So could sum1 just give me a good detalied explanation.

Ahem. Right. Is this thing on?

Anyway, it can actually be fun planning and executing an operation to take over a region. The strategy and timing involved in making the operation succeed are mentally challenging and there a lot of factors that can come into play. Also, owning a region and exercising power over it can be quite enjoyable. Some folks just enjoy destroying their enemy utterly, which I know from playing other games can indeed be fun for me personally, but I don't see any point in playing this game that way. But that's me.

Disclaimer: Not an invader and never have been, but I am an experienced gameplayer and have done some interesting training exercises.

However in this game I agree with HotRodia.

I'd say it's the challenge, as Hot Rodia says. Also, there can be interesting "wars" when invaders and defenders clash, and some fun verbal gibes between them (as long as it stays civil).

I AM an invader, but still learning the ropes.
