This is not heartstone, you don't get to keep your resources, land, sci etc. and roll it over to the next age.
The problem is that we are playing the game differently, top kingdoms play with each others d***s to see who can sit around and win 1 war at EoA, where the rest of us are in it for the wars.
Top kingdoms do their CF crap and then overlord the rest of the server with their size while 'randoming' for land.
I see lots of comments from top players saying "expect punishment when you steal from us". So if you random me for land I am supposed to do what exactly? There are not many players left in this game and it's for a few reasons, partially (IMO) the game hasn't had massive overhauls and also the elitist attitude exhibited.
If you guys exclude yourselves from a main aspect of the game, the rest of the server do run out of opponents (other than fighting the same kingdoms over and over).
