Let me ask you something.
How did KingGhost caught up?
how did Vein,Pascal,Hughes,Neantasia,Murtaza,Vrael,Kratos ??
they are your allys/member ,why dont you ask them?
thats where competency comes in play
am sorry didnt quite got you,
you are refering to me being that high at 25cities sitting in your so called " safety net " right in npo's meatgrinder,
or me "pretending that i enjoy fighting" coming out of the war with 32-33cities ?
and make no mistake its not only me.
I guess you guys where keeping an umbrella when it was raining whales to help you counter grumpy's dominance.
It all comes down to perspective my friend,
people like you keep blaming others for their incompetence to field a strong high-tier to much grumpy's,
while others ,walk the walk, get themselves there and join grumpy adding to the fact that you cant compete with us
I really dont get it....
whats the problem with having an active-reserve system in place instead of a beige-relief one ?
its quite straightforward in my mind:
f.e.
x=active troops, y=reserve troops
the total amount of your x+y troops cannot exceed the total number that you are able to field at any given time
that goes the same with all mil units and your spies
Also Lets implement this to alliance wide wars:
you are getting blitzed and CANT to fight back?
you get one for the team, wait the 5days that you would need either way to build back up and then come out swinging
this can also give alliances a great opportunity to get back up after a losing round in a war if planned correctly
you are getting blitzed and YOU THINK YOU CAN fight back?
each day you are given the opportunity to make the reserves you build each day active and use them like you do now
All in all you are going to decide how you wanna use your units and when.
I can understand that this given ability for alliances to get back up after a losing round in a war, might destroy the incentive for the alliances that wanna initiate this said war but i dont think that this politics problem should be mingled with the war mechanincs of the game itself !!
you pointed that test is ''bigger'' than 4/5 members of our bloc, whereas i see it completely differently
anyway, who am i to say what test is gonna do with their taxes from their idiots and inactives like you said, since these idiots (per you) have no problem with it...
all i know is the fact that most experienced players left and quite frankly it means more than inflated ''peacetime'' numbers
have fun...
You mean the same Test that has lost in the last month 5 of their most experienced players and whose only purpose of existence is to fund their gov with cities and repay their loans through tax-farming their inexperienced and inactive players ?
Yeah you are definitely right, they have to be ''bigger'' ...
thats a bit awkward....
Test becoming the protector of Yarr, which is the offshore of Arrgh,
who is currently blitzing Test's protectorate (UM)....
....logic
