Hi! During Holmgang the Clans whose applications to participate have been submiited are put in waiting of their Competition phase mode, in which they can relocate to the Islands of Trials and attack other Jarls. These actions provide points for personal and Clan achievements in the Competition.
Remember that Clan is a power! Keep together, and I'm sure that you will defend your enemy Clans next time.
Have a good day! 💪

Ivar, that is a ridiculous answer.  I know how Holmgang works. But if  we are expected to compete against Clans 10 times our strength that is a slaughter not a competion. None of the clans in our Holmgang could fight them as we were all about the same strength. So all of the Clans gave up up and left after having many cities burned.

I understand what you mean and this can be a detrimental experience for the smallest clans in the grouping.

As you say, a 6 Trillion clan in a grouping together with a 61Trillion. They have far more numbers and can set onslaughts on your towns when you are doing the attack phase and quickly burn you while you're in wrong gear to defend your town(because you are attacking towers) 

We had this happen a few times, only advice i can give is to move your town everytime you join an onslaught, the main issue is that you need speed also to take down the towers fast enough.  

Situación ridicula! Un Clan que ya a ganado 45-0 a su rival se queda en el reino a masacrar a jugadores de Clanes más pequeños. Debe ser divertido y muy lucrativo para ellos pero a los Clanes modestos no nos permite competir contra nuestro rival asignado. Por que cuando un Clan termina su competición en la Isla no es devuelto a su reino? La solución no es hacer un Clan gigante, la solución es no participar. Que respondes a eso xyz? Parece que nunca entiendes lo que comenta la gente o que quieres darle la vuelta para quitarle importancia y dejar a los jugadores que se quejan como responsables de los fallos y arbitrariedades que comete Plarium.
