My Towers are full (PE has 15 and IE 16 active combatants on day 1) and and are anything but dying which suggest you either have a lot of active non combatants or a lot of inactive players in your hood. as hoods progress the lower towers naturally die off and this was more pronounced when the god like archers issue was fixed and people abandoned lower units for much needed space. I went from fighting in all towers to just the top 3 and now I'm just focusing on PE
The top half of my hood merged with a lot of other top players. rather than moan and ask for advantages to be removed because I've gone from 4th place in my hood to 12th I'm choosing to thrive and battle and I'm not using diamonds to heal my troops or bulid them quicker either and yet I'm number 4 in the PE tower against the 7 of the top 2 players in my world.
again we hear all about you mate ? well done but think about someone else, thats if you want to be able to compete in a few months time as your lucky to be in ahood that is active and i belive its only came about because of the huge increase of inactivity in pvp.
i have tried to promote pvp in the guild i am in i run a weekly competion trying to get players to compete for even the ba tower sadly this weeks results were down to just a handful and the news is even those handful some of them players who have battled week in week out are giving in as they can not win or get close so there turning to farming instead : (
and i see lots of people very unhappy with the merge system but for me the problem isnt merging as you will just end up with someone else with huge castle boost or not as the case may be, the problem is players who think there gods because they can not be touched all because they have been around a long time and have got lots of fps to boost up a castle ? not really a skill its just something to hide behind.
personaly i would get rid of my castles right away if everyone else would as i am not scared of competion and i dont need them to win
