LOL. Smash Alessia's back door. That's great. Have you and the other ESO players here ever done a group PvP thing? Like 4v4 or something? It seems like terrain would matter a lot. Maps can make or break competitive games.
I've played a few Battlegrounds games which are similar - they're like small-scale arenas consisting of three teams of four players to compete in various game modes like capture the flag and team deathmatches. The maps there are good fun and pretty well designed from my point of view, but I'm hardly an expert as it's not something I regularly do. I can say that one of the new houses coming with today's update, Elinhir Arena, is based off a Battlegrounds arena to some degree. It's the first player house to integrate an additional functionality for PVP. It's pretty cool and something the community has been asking for, so could be an indication of how much people enjoy Battlegrounds.
In terms of team PVP in Cyrodiil, I've only done that by chance, randomly and not orgainised if you get me. Like, I've joined small groups and we've encountered other small groups to fight, and I've had some good expereinces of questing through solo content in Cyrod only to find myself or another player ambushed by a small group. That can be either demoralising or great fun: I'm no where near good enough to fight three people or more and win - hell, even 1v1 it's 50/50 :D - but there's something really cool when another player sees it happen and turns the tide. I remember I was doing a quest in Cropsford one day and saw another AD player doing his own thing. He got ambushed by three EP players who hadn't spotted me. Man, he was a damned good player! I can imagine I'd enjoy an organised 4v4 thing in Cyrodiil. Terrain plays less of a role than it does in Battlegrounds, but the size of the zone could potentially add a dimension in terms of encounter areas - it'd probably be really fun to have that encounter around a small outpost or something so that siege and counter-siege equipment could be used. Or it could be well boring if the opposing four stay entrenched.
Battlegrounds are good fun, but they're better if you are part of an organized 4-person team.
As for Cyrodiil, there's nothing like a good 50v50 keep battle. Seige engines, oils, meatbags, good fun. I had one of those at Alessia that took 1 hour.
