@ Alphared,
I like your point about troops, but functionally if you trade an army they don't teleport to that country in COW. I gain control of the troops where they are currently on the map.
Unless i'm missing something, and thats possible, the only benefit to trading the army to an ally is so they can control that army instead of you. I'm all for keeping players active and I guess it's selfish of me to think that I would rather control these troops than the payer getting the ass handed to them.
Now to a practical example. Some time last year I was on a 22 map, I was south USA. and a player in Europe was getting his butt kicked, so he moved his army out to sea and started trading it down to me. I used the army to counter attack and beat a player that had a large advantage at the time war broke out. Not going to lie, it was fun. But was it fair? Did I use game mechanics to rip off another players chance at victory?
Not trying to say there is an easy answer here.
