I think it's more of a membership count, honestly. One could've considered TEst as a micro imo, but a micro with experienced players that didn't need much to learn. Would I consider that a detrimental alliance? No. GOB also fits into this too. Neither of them took in new players and left them out to dry, so there was no real effect on the gaming community at large. Honestly the question is sort of tricky because there are grey areas in it.

I was actually being sarcastic, lol. It really depends on the Infra levels and what battle type though.

@Mad Max When are you going to do this? He hasn't built up his military at all since I posted this and I pretty much lined up a easy way to get some loot/damage in. I'm sure The Isle has somebody in range, or are they sucking on zeroing you guys out?

I voted for Harm, but in all honesty, even large alliances can cause harm. There's like... 2 right now that do that I can list off. There's a few more that are questionable. Just a hint: We've moved from eliminating GPA type alliances to protecting them now. I do second some of what Auctor stated. The only real value of a micro alliance is giving people a chance at some responsibility. Chances are, they'll fail hard, but whether they learn from it or not - who knows till they do it. The ones who keep creating over and over and still failing are obviously ones who aren't learning and therefore are detrimental to the community when they recruit new players, because chances are - they're just teaching them how to fail. I will always recommend players to join a Top 20 Alliance and learn the game first before splitting off to do their own thing.

Years of experience are put into this tactic. It works.

I see why some people are still bad at war. If you're wasting MAPs with a Naval attack on a blitz, you do not need to be helping with the milcom of your alliance.

rofl, what?

Oh it's tempting.

When 3 members of Arrgh pull a better blitz than a 60man alliance, that's a pretty hard expectation.

Wouldn't even be a fair fight. They'd need BK to help them.

LOL, your tactics? This is old news.

Yes, there is. Here's a good example of one: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=131657 2k Infra in 11 cities. 50k Soldiers, 0 Tanks, 655 Planes, 3 Ships. Easy to beige right there, do a good bit of damage, and possibly get some good loot depending on their tax system. If I were in The Isle's shoes, I'd declare on this guy, build up my MAPs - double buy military, spend those MAPs, lather, rinse, repeat. Just because you're outnumbering someone doesn't mean every single one of you is competent enough to keep them locked down. They still have 5 offensive slots to use each in order to freely raid against your alliance members who haven't kept up with what's going on.

@Micchan - From that graph, are you saying @Roquentin has Fembots as his harem now?

Just from the looks of it, there's a lot of raidable nations in Camelot.
