    Default Petition - why medal drop rates shouldn't increase

    What happens if medals are increased?

    -People push through the game too easily, too fast, and more threads on "Boring at end game" start up.

    -All of the people who normally have trouble getting medals, start to get more towns. Then the stronger players who knew what they were doing to begin with, destroy those players. Most players don't have an army to defend one town, from a large attack. How would they they defend 4 or 5? They'd just be picked off. This would result in more "Limitations on prestige(or whatever) for attacking newer players".

    -States would be cluttered with towns. Players would take up far more flats, and players would be weakened end game as a result. Sure, you can conquer the town to abandon it, but any 1-3(4 eventually) and 6-9 npcs become practically useless. Most of them would be 1-3 as well, since that's what most players push to claim early on. As a result more threads on "Food upkeep needs to be changed for larger armies".

    There are lots of issues with it. How about one huge problem to go along with it all? Experienced active players who already have no problems getting medals, will become insanely strong. Ever see a major cent buyer who knows what he's doing? He's capable of going solo, wiping out anyone near him, and being nearly indestructible for at least 5 or so months into the server before guilds can coordinate enough to touch him. At that point he simply joins a guild and is untouchable once again.

    I pulled Furstin on 62, in 2 months. It wasn't hard. The only medal box I used was a senior medal box, and those are pointless. Nation/justice are the easiest medals to get, as long as your army is where it should be by the time you go for Duke. I didn't pass up Baron for about 6 weeks, and with 3 towns(I save a slot) I was able to push around everyone near me. Each extra town is another 18-21 barracks depending on how it's designed, pushing out archers. Would you really want people getting towns faster?

    Honestly, if you're not farming npc's constantly for resources, you're not ready for more towns. Now if you were farming those npc's, then you'd be pulling in medals, and would have a large army on top of that from the added resources. Rose medals are annoying, but asides form that there's no reason why you can't pull your lion and honor medals off of lvl 4 npc. When you get to needing freedom/justice/wisdom guess what? It's easy. Lvl 5 drop those medals far more often. Then when you get to nation/justice you can get a medal off nearly ever starting attack on a lvl 10. I pulled 5 nation, 4 justice just off conquering a single lvl 10 npc. If you farm valleys, then yeah, you'll hate it. So leave valleys alone, and play the game the way you should, and those medals will eventually just appear.
