Then back to rebuilding to replacing losses so that they would have equitable numbers of troops as other players. It is all fine and good if the alliances there are helpful and give you cities and resources but I have a hard time believing that they would be willing to give you the massive amounts of resources for as many months as it would take to grind out competitive heroes. We're not just talking main hero here, but additional heroes for arch trade-fire or mech attacks and poli heroes for wall/defensive and resource-generation purposes.

    Really, the only way it would be feasible within an acceptable time frame is by taking a quitting player's account and, for me, that's just not an attractive option. I like to build for myself, thank you very much.
    You know very well that on the "new" server there are insta heroes week 1 and 1k+ attack week 4, and after 3 months, you have 2 pages of insta archers heroes, but are stuck with the low medal drop rate. A top experience player will thrive on any kind of server, and will grow his hero/es fast. Those players are what i would call the critical mass, and they are present on any server. But if we talk here about your average player, who cannot or does not know how to farm his way to prinzz in 4 weeks, they will get stuck to low rank and therefore widening the gap even further. Having some free time during last Christmass, i started from scratch on another "old" server and i grew up my hero to 370 level in 1 month. Is not big, but is decent, and you know is possible. What rubbs me the wrong way is the fact that when i capture a good hero on the "new" server, I dont have the medals to persuade him, so what is the point for hero hunting, you tell me?
