Instead of the 8+ full tags you have atm you will end up with 4 100 man tags and 5-6 30 man tags. The 30 man tags will be farms for the 100 man tags. Remember the communities of ND and HR are vastly larger than the 60 that the game currently allows. Lots of their communties play in other 'smaller' tags just to play the game. If ND or HR was given another 40 places or heaven forbid unlimited places then these are likely 2 alliances that would scoop the heart of out of some of the lesser tags leaving them to be farmed.

If a top alliance (Im thinking Ultores/Vikings mainly) said they 'were going FTW!' then you would see mass applicantions as people would wanna have a slice of the victory pie.

In the current round looking at the KIA you have 9 basically equal and competitive alliances, proper community alliances. Why would you want to change this? If anything the evening out of alliances in the last few rounds (actually mainly due to the emergence of Spore which seems to have balanced the political ship) has made for vastly better politics, more exciting rounds and really close run races in all 3 forms which someone can win in this game.


Why change what currently isnt broke?

100% agree

It's not that hard to make some effort, and tbh, I usually send out pm's to people ingal that seems to struggle, and give them some help if they want it. Quite often I don't get a reply, guessing they're not really interested in playing or something.

Communication is key here, and it only took me half a round to get to know people, but I'm still learning something new every now and again since I started playing 6 rounds ago, and people are always nice and help when asked.

So imo it's just bullshit that you can't learn to play in a top alliance, ofc you can. It all comes down to how much effort one can be arsed to put into it.

need an alliance?
j/k
good post and interesting view imo
