Hear Hear Elurin. I agree, if Palem wants this to happen - change 19 of your provs race next age. It's just a freaken word. Create an example for us to follow!

I can't speak for all, but the last 3 kingdoms I've played for had no issues with having active players who might have to put a sitter for a war. Which kingdoms where the ones you spoke to? Just being curious.. can't imagine it to be as you say.Originally Posted by Sheister
I like the initiative to urge people to step up and do pro stuffies and be big, but people have a point that you cant make people do stuffies, unless you arent doing them yourself. Like in RL, if you want people to do something, do it first and people will follow you and they will do the same. Always better to be a leader, than a boss.
For example Floggers KD swept the floor with the top last age with their wararing. Thanks to that, i wanted to be in the same nw size and warar them, just for the challenge! They showed the lead ! so if you want more top wararing KDs, go show the lead and then some others will take that "challenge" and follow you.
But on the other side, if we (sillCats) warar in middle ranks, then the KDs we warar will be better for the experience and making them stronger, thus allowing them to grow into top(ish) KDs faster. right ? Cause i remember when we were still small kitties and warared many pro KDs like Bunnies, Balance and most of all FS, then those hard challenges made us stronger and work towards getting even better. It would have never happened if those KDs would have been in top 10, cause we werent in top 10 when we started.
Again, i like the initiative! a bit wrong person to post it, might have brought better feedback if someone else had posted it, but very good initiative still.
The easiest way to ignore the top 10 and have a good time is to stay small enough that you are not worth their time. If you do not like their style of play, politics, ego, etc. then you are a lunatic to grow. Let them get big and whine that no one wants to play with them. Eventually, they will either stop doing what they are doing because it is boring to do the same thing age after age with the same 5 kingdoms or leave (assuming you do not leave first, which is probably more likley as they seem to have fun by sitting and pumping and dicing so...... clearly they can occupy themselves for hours with just self spells.)

I didn't read this whole thread, but I remembered one important thing from the first five pages:
Large kingdoms are Top kingdoms and thus are the Best kingdoms?
Did I summarize it well?
In that case. Thanks for the info.
People believe/know that top KDs will still recruit you, even if you said you can't be available 24 hours a day and may or may not leave army home during war? I don't believe that is true.
flogger challenged them before the age even started iirc ;p
And you're wrong. I'm quite sure we wouldn't back away from a fight and I'm pretty sure Rage wouldn't either. I don't think any of the current top kingdoms would really say no to a fight (iirc most waves resulted in a war this age)
It could be just me, but i find it kinda weak attitude. And even if people stay small, but will be actively playing, then in some time they will personally grow so much that it is not possible for them to not be close to the top. Every people has their inner "growing" time. When people are ready they will make the next step. Its just matter of time and willingness to learn.
By your way of thinking the game would die fast. imo
If you can win hard fought wars, you can also grow/whore or whatever you want to call it.
Not sure if every kingdom you fought last age was more active than yours.. I actually doubt it based on what I saw in priv channels :P
And if I remember correctly, Sillurin said can has! but in the end Pulse maxexplorared anyway.
#strategy - your super wholesome family friendly channel for utopian discussion & random nonsense!
Elurin is pink and cute
he is so not mute!
And not like a brute
To him I will salute
Melee Weapons will apparently be trying Growth/Land/Warring at the top next age and if they do not I am leaving. This was the promise made to me so watch this space! Just a case of recruiting 25 provinces again now and explaining to everyone this is our goal!
What is this fact based on? I think you're horribly wrong.
The activity spikes when there is a fight going on and that is the same for every other kingdom. Top or midsized or ghetto kingdom, once you're in a fight your activity blooms.
If you want to be a warring kingdom, but not want to grow to the size of top 10 you will certainly grow to the top 20-50 range, just by winning wars. I'm pretty sure most of the possible "challengers" of the top 10 who deliberately stay our of reach will be in that range of the charts. So inevitably you will be warring pretty strong kingdoms at some point in the age.
I think it's a bit arrogant to think the top 10 acres and networth are the best kingdoms on the server and to say the ones in the top 20-50 (cats, pewpew, Fs, divinity, "us") are afraid of them. I'm sure Abs, HoH and kingdoms like them are very good, but I challenge them to do it differently one age and to stay "smaller" and go for war wins instead of growing the fastest. See how good they really are. Search for the cats, divinity, fs, pewpew, so you can challenge them, instead of yelling from a tower that you are the best. With all the respect in the world, I think being #1 nw and size isn't easy and therefore deserves appreciation and respect, but you can't blame others for avoiding the top 10. You are feeding yourself to the lions.
As the top 10 is basically all NAPed with each other, surely any new comer would just be fed upon by all of them as they are the only viable target? An interesting mechanic/idea top kingdoms could introduce is to remove NAPs with each other and hit each other as if they were a new comer?
Nobody will complain if your army is in a few hours when you're not fighting.
Nobody will complain if you can't be active in a conflict and assign a sitter for the time being.
