Bigger is better. That seems to be the mindset that Evony has according to their tasteless ads and the mere fact that players are allowed up to ten cities and are encouraged to "title/rank up" to the fullest. Further insinuated by the fact that when servers merge every player gets free cents yet those with the highest title get the most.

I've never been under the impression that b*** were a cause of massive armies but merely a result of the desire to be the biggest and baddest in the game. That is the reason why a large percentage of the b******* were also veteran players and money spenders.

So, now that a great portion, if not all of the b******, are gone that only means that the people you'll see with large armies now either spend an insane amount of time farming or had already stockpiled enough food to last them a while, which means that they don't have to farm as much. But if anyone was under the impression that eliminating b****** was going to eliminate the need for massive armies and the consequences thereof (i.e smaller players crying foul and reporting them for b******) then they were sorely mistaken... as I'm sure some players are already finding out. :/
