What I don't understand is why this point has been overlooked?
If you reduce a KD from 25 to 20 prov's which prov's are gonna get kicked out (in SKDs at least)? Not the good players, not leadership, but the players are that are there simply to fill space to reach 25. So each Top KD kicks out 5 players that are just hanging around, suppose they form a new KD, as what would ideally happen, what kind of KD would they form, with mediocre players and no leadership?
How does that create more competition (at the top at least)? The good KDs (the ones that kicked people out) will still fight the same other good KDs (other KDs that kicked people out), and the KDs formed from the SKD rejects most likely wont be a SKD. End result? No change.....
Now it is possible that the SKD rejects would form a KD that is comparable to a mid-tier KD, however most have been playing a SKD style for a long time. It is a pretty far stretch to think they all of them would stick around. Thus there would be a fairly large exodus of players in a time when the player base is already small.
In Theory, this would be a good idea if everyone stayed around and accepted their new positions, but this is a game and people can quit or take a break. So maybe there might be a few new KDs with this change for a age or two, but the biggest result would be a far smaller player base and similar numbers of KDs.
Also, while i detailed it out for a SKD, the same applies for Ghetto's, how many decent (was gonna use good, but the number is even fewer) monarchs are their in ghetto's. The ones who are willing to plan out strats and organize wars. The answer: Very Few. Now you want to remove the worst players in a Ghetto and mix them with other Ghetto rejects and you hope for what? For those players to stick around?
Edit: You don't just go around forming a good KD that can challenge other good KDs in one age (unless your Sonata) unless you have unusual circumstances. And for ghettos, making the people that even Ghetto's rejected form a KD.....that just seems futile.....even while typing it.
