Not that it matters and it's not a criticism just a correction, you weren't arround so you wouldn't know... the lowering of the win conditions came form AP, used as bait to tempt players like Taras, Clyde and Bella to Intern and to try and keep all of them active... Not that I disagree with the theory it's just meaningless to me as I don't expect to win and I don't expect to be "active" after November...
As I've said before I thought the merge would at least liven things up a bit, which is has, and that it couldn't be anyworse than staying in a tribe with a very limited amount of fully active players and the part-active ones saying they were going to quit on a daily basis... well, on the days they logged in...
Unfortunately what is now left is no different with the same few top accounts being played actively and the same top accounts being played inactively.. who is munching who under which banner is all that has changed...
In the top 10 there are at most 4 accounts that are being played actively by their original owners...
