Thats a "bottomfeeding" mechanism of the "superior" crown on the "inferior" ones :p. (I assume the intention is still to offer lower tier kds somehing to chase. If not just merge them all in 1 :)

And while many say it's for the better, gets more kds on top, gives incentives to better kds, i doubt that you can force this on people. It's a game and people play it as they like/can.

So why not better tie ww by honor ranking because the changes thread sais " In order to incentivize conflict between top WW kingdom" not top land kds. And honor is now the most dominant product of wining wars. (While land is not : whoring, exploring oow hits, you get the picture)


Ps: if in the past ww chart was flawed because of ld's and hunting wars with ghettos i can see a situation in the future when it would be flawed because of hunting wars with whoring kds. With a fs-ish setup get 2 war wins fast, dump pool and then war a whoring kd. Grind them out while they take your land, they tact widr, you take the ww, they take the land, both happy. After 2 ww +pool, so high acres, the ww land bonus will probably cover (or close) your losses and you move for next lower whoring kd, or why not, if possible, b2b.
To get the WW crown you still need to war multiple times. If a large KD goes 5/5 fighting top quality opposition, then they deserve WW crown more than a small KD who preys on ghettos and goes 8/8.
