Now it costs a billion food just to move a few mechs to a war city without porting it home first, because you're going 400 miles away.
You are not the only one that knows how to fight or wisely use troops, you are however out of your freaking mind of you think 2-3 million troops are enough on any old server nowadays.
It doesn't matter what evony intended, once you have enabled our armies to get to this size then they must be maintained at this size. Some of us are willing and able to do that, if the map is not choked out with dead accounts and bots filling the flats with junk 24/7 because their owners are pansies and fight that way.
There is no warfare in this Evony. As the founder of TheBrood, I can honestly say I would give my left boob for some real warfare on ss60. We were SO excited about this merge I just can't even express how disappointing it has been. Server 78 was nonstop fighting. We had people that stood up to us and troops dying left and right on both sides. Then ss25 came along, and we discovered people that flatfilled their state to avoid us getting in. When we got in anyways they just holidayed till the next merge... yes whole alliances holidayed. Then ss52 came along, and we were ecstatic... finally getting away from these chickens that wanna stick their head in the ground rather than fight.... except we ran into another server pretty much the same. It didn't take long for our friendly ss25 holidayers to teach their new allies on ss52 how to avoid fighting. And 'lo and behold, here comes ss60 barely months after the last merge. This was putting us up against people much larger than us, alliances larger than us, and heroes that made ours look weak (even though ours were dominant for 3 servers). WE WERE HAPPY! Well, happy for about 48 hours... then the teleport truce wore off and we realized our state was already half sabotaged by cowards that won't fight and the other half sabotaged by Evony's incompetance. Ultimatums come in at us to leave our home state we fought & won 3 servers for, or they'd fill it with junk. Our valleys were being stolen by the top dogs that supposedly were gonna kick our ass.... valley wars? Really? This server has thus far the greatest disappointment.
So no Ghost, we don't need or want a huge map, just need the BS off this one. Our enemies are not dozens of miles away, they're in the middle of our fields with auto-comforting auto-reinforcing auto-gate managing bots that you really cannot capture cities from. This is not a real PVP test. This is a patience test. This is a frustration test. This is a tolerance test. This is anything except a PVP test.
