I would like to agree with Ballerond (for once) WC started as a rim tribe, quickly overtook most of the earlier starters, think we've done bleeding well! And as he said, every player has the same opportunities etc at the beginning, i haven't played in years, i no lead number 3 tribe, not too shabby considering noone but me and players i met here have done it.
Myself and other leaders are well aware that we are a prime target now, what are we to do? Due to sheer size if we attack we lose all chance of retaking any villages as our offensive would be lost, if we sit back and wait to defend loss of morale is going to destroy alot of chances.
It's a shame such good settings didn't attract more players, i've personally reached a level now where i'm taking a new village every other day without stretching too thin. It's just too late though.
Problem is now, we can stack against nuke after nuke but one player from tribe 1 has the same points as our entire tribe, they can afford to keep throwing nuke after nuke, we can dodge and snipe to the best of our ability, but it only takes being caught out once due to being offline and goodbye village.
Interesting new "resist" tribe sprung up though eh!
