In my opinion, to make Asgard a whole lot of fun for everyone, not just the big players in big clans is to run "Mini" League-only games. That way, if your clan is in the League of Masters, you ONLY play against other clans in that same League. League of Odin plays Odin and so on and so forth. That would make it fair for ALL players.
Pros:
- It should eliminate the horrific lag of waiting 10-20 seconds for each march to "battle" simply by reducing the load on the server by having fewer players in the game
- More engagement - smaller players and clans would actually participate more knowing there was a chance of scoring and an ability to actually hold a tower would encourage them to train, upgrade knowledge, etc.
- More Fighting in Towns - imagine knowing that every town in that Mini Asgard was a town a player could match with and battle.
- Bring the excitement back to the game. Far too many players I know personally don't even attempt Asgard. It is not worth it. The cost outways the rewards. And for the smaller player there is absolutely no reward to participate in Asgard at all.
- Help the game progress as well as the players. The only way to become or remain strong is to gain the Asgard town skins. Currently, with how the game is set up, those town skins are not obtainable.
I am in a small/medium-sized clan. We all have maxed out our knowledge, regular gear, town etc... We all are around the 3-5T influence size and we all spend hundreds of dollars a month to play. But how this game is set up now, in order for us to continue to grow requires the town skins that are only available by playing Asgard. We cannot compete. So it is just a matter of time before we will be forced to leave the clan (where we all have given so much in resources, boosts, time, and effort to build), remain mediocre, or quit the game.
Just my two cents... Thanks
