So a few things we noticed upon testing.
1. Replace old flags if possible.
2. The flag is owned by who placed it and not considered uncontested unless THAT person goes into the flag area. Example: Joe schmoe puts down a flag. Someone contests it. A company member goes to the flag - THE TIMER WILL NOT STOP until Joe Shmoe enters the contested area. The flag is signaling property of the company but not owned by.
3. Overlapping flags: Think of the circles like pancakes. If you toss 2 pancakes on top of each other and pour syrup on it - only the top pancake is covered. Same thing with activity. Only the top flag layer will count you as active not the bottom flag.
We are still testing. I think companies should be limited to land claims. Not people. I could have a company of 200 people and claim 200 territories. But I suggest land claims should be limited to the number of people. 1-25 people should be 3 land claims, 25-50 should be 5 land claims, 50 to 100 people should be 8 land claims. This is more than enough space for people in PVE.
