Game Needs More Good kds Competing

[TeddybearSTHLM]

Well i do know that leading @ higher levels takes alot of time and can be stressful even.
But Really?

If so it just emphasizes my point that it aint all fun and stuff up at the top.

I wouldnt take anything octo says seriously :)

Just take a look at the warwins chart: The FIRST one that's even vaguely recognizable to me is SPGC at #21, then Divinity at #50 and Pewpew at #55. Or maybe I'm just uninformed. Of the three, the impression I get here is that SPGC's not even considered "top" tier material alongside the likes of the Abs 3+1 gang.

you're right, we're not top tier material, we usually just end up in t10 because we never landdrop, we grow the rest of the kd up after wars, and we arent afraid to grow oow if we have better targets in sight. Also, war wins chart is kinda silly, there is no way SPGC could ever compete for that, we have no way to get as many wars in an age as is required to win the chart.

NW/Land is already roughly a representation of skill, with some exceptions. The cream rises to the top. Look at the kitties. They USUALLY have a nice ending on the charts. They never really end the age "small". The same is true for other good warring kds. If you just mix in some actual whoring then you're even larger and make a bigger splash.

Don't confuse not landdropping and not being afraid to grow for wars with ability to whore.



Palem: I kinda agree with OP that people should try and improve and expand their game moar. Far too many kds just stick around down in the ghetto warring, because they think if they dont landdrop they will lose next war, or get in range of too scary kds. An arguement in my old about this was that landdropping quickens the recovery time, which i completely disagreed with, I think it is silly to landdrop with 4 days eowcf. You can come oow practically war ready almost all the time, even with exploring alot in eowcf (ok maybe not wpa-wise but still).

That the game needs to improve is something I've thought about as well. IMO there are way too many kds that are afraid to do something new, afraid to war out of range or with their setup slightly unbalanced acre-wise. They never try to overcome any obstacles, they keep on warring the same way, rather turn down fights they are not sure they can win and they want all advantages on their side.

I dont think all kds should try to whore, they just need to challenge themselves more!

I've done enough ghetto diplo and seen my monarchs do enough ghetto diplo to know most kds are cowards.

kd1: "can has warar?"
kd2: "hmmm yes maybe! BUT, you has a scary orc that can make a hit on a faery! :o we no likes, so here's the deal: you give us button in 72h so we can has prepare even though we are at 170 nwpa average now, after which we will sit and op you for 24h before pressing button. You can make no more hits on us in the meantime or we will call in our big and mighty alliance and cry "foul play!" to them see!

We also want your 10 biggest provs to release down to 1 tpa, so we can steal our dragfon from there. And last but not least, you no can has hittles on our non-attacklers! sounds fair? cause, y'know, you're 2% bigger than us and we find that to be a very unfair advantage see."
kd1: "okay....."
kd2: "oh! btw, we are also gonna be fortified when you wave us."


so meh....hope you like my slightly exxagerated impersonation above :P. I posted it in lolcattish because everything is better in lolcattish! Not to say that there arent kds who want a challenge, there are and kudos to them! I'm just tired of having to give away all the advantages all the time to get a war.

I could make up a convo of what's happened after you wave someone and they wuzzy out for different reasons but I dont feel like it, use your imagination.

NOTE: I am only a silly little peon in SPGC, these are my own thoughts. I used to comonarch a kd before SPGC, so I've encountered some douchebags and some ghetto monarchs.
