Alliances around us are clearly focused on prestige more than battle knowledge/mechanics... most particularly evident when they accept poor players simply based on their prestige number.
As I mentioned This is only the case after the 1 million pres guy has already been badly beaten by someone of high prestige. Or has made foolish mistakes with his army that cost him. This is because a person of 1 million prestige can only achieve this by building an outstanding army.

Once you have completed building your cities you will be nowhere near 1 million pres.

It would take you months on end of praying to achieve this much prestige without building an army that can easily defeat a 300K guy. What is the 1 millionk guy only farming lvl 5 NPCs! more than likely he's farming lvl 10s at will. more than 1 at a time. Lets just say he's taking 2 a day thats at least 200K archers minimum and thats not giving the lvl 10 NPC credit. The guy that defeated the 1 millionK guy was lucky. He caught him at a good time. And this is rear. Ask around how many people has heard this happening you wont find many. You'll be hard press to find someone that even believes your story (though I know its possible). And if you check my guide it does not prevent you from building a great army, infact it helps you.
