So yes, the more time you put into growing as a musician or growing your cities the better off you are.
But here are the differences....
In Evony Age I and Age II servers Na20+ you can invest hundreds, even thousands of hours building yourself up only to have someone come along and destroy hundreds and hundreds of hours of work while you sleep, work, go to school, gym, beach, etc...
Last I checked you could not lose the thousands of hours you put into the guitar by going to sleep for 8 hours.
I hear the argument alot from players they they should be rewarded for their hard work. Really? What is the reward? Now if the reward is being able to capture a players city while they sleep then your reward is taking the hundreds of hours that player spent building up the city. (add every resource field and building build time and it is hundreds and hundreds of hours, then add farming for resources and leveling heros and it is more hundreds of hours.). Is that a balanced reward? *Insert rant about HCs here...*
