i,m actually far from a begginer ..I would agree yes there are a lot of Marshalls /leagues who have the notion that a strong league is based on large members ..that is totally incorrect.
The higher the numbers in my experience also means lots of long ago,s and inactive players .The strength of a league does not come from numbers but more from the ..how many active players .And even this is becoming a struggle to gain active players as many either start get to lvl 30-40 then realise the grab for money and time needed to grow larger.or just bored with the game due to not being able to compete
this is also clear in league quests ..more numbers less active players rewards are lower / the league with less members but active..?
still can gain elite reward packs more often .I have shown that I personally believe ..there a total waste of time .i,m not the only player who agrees to that .
the question was ..why do leagues / members / players..have the notion that a beacon league is safer or stronger .Its a game myth .
Never believed becaon leagues are safer or anything like that...
that question missed me and it would take some time to make the corelation between the two but i will do that also in time
...... The hamlet and bg part i added is to raise you skill ability in warring early...
the guide can be tweaked.
I told a player who adressed me the other day when he said he's just going to grow his army using my guide not killing his units.... the guide like i said is based off my beliefs...
(When i started i was really far ahead off of bg's and had units that ate to much food and ventured out to settlements pulling in and out taking out offense then pulling out in less than a minute leaving one archer and waited for the next person to take it lasting over 5 hours.... it was closet to my castle and i first touched when it spawned in the early morning players more than twice my level wanted to come for it but they couldn't get enough defense in it in time or we're trying to commit.. everyone gave up on it except a guy from koc and he was a bully and attacked my castle over it which was just becasue he felt he had no chocie if he wanted the settlement.... i learned to gain war experience early and push your limits... i also learned the diffrence in league and player attitudes.... certain leagues felt entitled to do what ever they want.... some leagues don't try to push things to far.....)
I don't beleive in giving up after getting beaten down...so i will encourage palyers to challenge them selves if they are up to it...
if your not up for it you don't have to do it....
it's up to all new players to be able to make their own decisions...
the guide is to only refrence from and is my experience they can use it based of their experiences.......
I'm not trying to restrict new players from doing anything that part is in their becasue it's hard to tell new players they can't do something...
I put a part in the guide about not using your whole army and making a reserve....
If you have the cannon fodder (excess units to kill off to make room for better ones) go to bgs!!! go to hamlets!! (Don't if you didn't follow the steps 1-x I guess i didn't make it clear it was in order from what to do first to last..) or just grow your army and keep raising your food production to support a bunch of units that will be killed off at some point in time...
I don't disagree with you if you feel strongly about it you have a right to your opinon....
i run my league by replace inactives using the league academy with level requirement of 5...
leagues don't want to let new guys who are weak and needy but with my guide they'll learn and also take alot of time doing so..... I do need to still edit the guide alot like you said it has flaws..
i didn't make my self clear enough on the function and reasoning behind some key points in it.....
There's a game function i'm not sure many know about... if your academy is empty you rise to the top of the join league now list either by a new player clicking join random league or they join one of the leagues listed... pretty much demote all inactives to recruit.. promote the academy memebers to soildier.. if the league is full kick a equal number of recruits to promote neophytes...
you can do what ever you want with the rest of the ranks... you will see any where from 2 new level 5-30 to 10 or 20 level 5-30 depending on time of year and if there's alot of new players joining
this doesn't fix the dozens of inactives but you keep replacing old inactives for new inactives a large # do quit the game you have to reel in all the guy who do stay and get them to be loyal and beleive....
all of this is based off my experience.
I try not to be bias and i'm open to everyone who posts on the forums experiences to learn from... i've never seen things from the level you're talking about but so far so good at the level i'm at and hopes of reaching your level.
like i told my plaers i'm confident i won't make the wrong decisons....
