The big difference between the BP boosting and the coalition is that the BP boosting would get them a few more cities, yes, but ultimately not have the biggest impact on the server. On the other hand the coalition has numbers so high in it's favor that no alliance could feasibly stand up against it and survive, getting attacked day in day out, 24 hours a day, doesn't get much more demoralizing than that. Just ruins the entire server having the world band together against 1 alliance, no matter what side you're on, hugfest on 1 side, on the other you're just getting railed, no fun in any of that. But BP boosting is not a huge game changer, even though it was 6m BP, it wouldn't have the biggest impact on the game, but 15 teams banding together is absurd, I can't contemplate how anyone could ever go along with this, having more than 2 or 3 allies is enough the way it is, and this was 15, y'all might as well keep cuddling together and hope grepo changes the rules so multiple alliances can win otherwise you're all screwed lol. Biggest hugfest ever, y'all just making yourself look weak
