    Merchant lost income immunity penalty. It was given to war hero. Might make a difference.

    ToG is more powerful then any racial ability or personality. It turns every single race from a mediocre race to a super powered race that no other race or personality can compete.

    All things equal, yes, ToG is awesome. I got an extra serving of Fireballs in war b/c of it, though. All of a sudden, it wasn't so awesome.

    ToG is not for war, its for before hostile and war preparation. You will catch someone without gold basically with their pants down. EVERYONE is going merchant.

    TOG is very powerful, but it requires Guilds so you dont fail and waste runes, and runes meaning it requires resources to support its power.

    It's extremely easy to negate merchants bonuses, people seem to be ignoring this and pretending that they will be oow all age.

    Yea -- that is why I look at the +20% credits as the meaningful bonus to Human/Merchants in an war tier KD.

    ToG is required for them to pump their expensive elites -- I doubt they will be sitting with tons of extra GC for dragon funding.

    If a KD has enough Human/merchants then it is completely possible a few slip through the cracks and get some population going. It is hard to pop control an entire enemy KD.

    good luck for fbing warring kds that have multiple eowcf periods with double wiz production. Plus u cant fb all merchants. Merchants will produce/stock multiple dragon gcs before you even start conflict.

    again good luck with that.

    Tog isn't new, fireballing a faery and fireballing a human are massively different scenarios. Personalities that can be negated can be very very tricky.

    Unless you are playing in the top, it is not easy to sit on multiple dragon's worth of GC.

    As soon as you exit EOWCF you will be plundered.

    I know I personally track the war exit times of every kd in our range. I know I am not alone in that because we got plundered the same tic we exited war at every war exit all age.

    The GC stacking also only realistically works if you are playing non-human merchants. I cannot see humans with 950 gc elites exiting eowcf with tons of extra gc laying around - let alone 3 dragons worth.

    You are absolutely correct that if a KD runs an entire attacker core of merchants that it would be difficult to control population across the board. However, using spares to do razes can easily destroy whatever towers/guilds are built and thus prevent a guy with 20k peasants from casting tog in the first place.
