Well count I will say this. I truly enjoyed Xi as it was a 1.26 world. Add to that the willingness I had to sleep on the couch so I would wake often to check if I was attacked or to dodge. I sniped 99% of any cs sent at me, and having 10 isolated cities that had round the clock attacks and cs's sent by 4 or 5 alliances, those were the days that I found grepo super fun. But then they upgraded to 2.0
Add the perfect snipe I had just before the update to end up late after the update to the response errors and lag that killed my playstyle of sniping cs's with precision landing 1 second after the cs. Grepo has not been what I once enjoyed, now I am here not to have the stats, but enjoy the chats ingame with the mates I have.
So the simmers take 3 cities from the fighters, well when the simmers pact with any threat that is willing to pact then that gives the simmers the advantage of only having the fighters to deal with. While the fighters have multiple enemies on multiple fronts.
So you say I failed to adapt, well that might be so. But you cant deny that the ww requirements need to be rethought to where the alliances that actually have the stats in abp should have the advantage. Otherwise, why do we bother with the battles, may as well just have the alliance take an island that is secure and out of reach of the other alliances. As that is the way as of now:/
And as far as the greatest gold diggers in cornith I am unaware. Are they PB players? If so then I say shame on PB. But that adds to my point of how gold cuts promote bullying. If I can spend a mint to mass produce a fleet to take a city, then why would another who cant spend a mint even bother trying as he/she is at a loss even before he/she realizes.
So to answer your questions my dear count,
Yes I found Xi awesome and hate that it was updated to 2.0, which ruined it. You were in en 10 at the time, I guess on the rim cause I was there in the core before I jumped to Xi. And add the other core mates that also jumped, there were not many vet players for you to worry with lol
And the dominating alliance in cornith is PB. Like it, dont like it, it doesnt matter. Stats dont lie, and PB ruled the abp rankings while at the same time having a member count lower than the other alliances. So whatever alliance you are in, your stats I can say for sure were nowhere near the stats of PB. And if the ww had requirements that benifited the fighter moreso than the simmer then I doubt any other alliance would be able to even build a ww lol
And as far as my ingame name, that is truly irrevelant. Or maybe I am no longer in cornith, as I deleted my acct months ago
Either way it truly doesnt matter cause I find the game has lost what once gave me the desire to top the ranks, now I just play to socialize with others.
