Do you know how many people I had to backstab to win the first age? and now we aren't even on the Hall of Heroes? Fluffy and I are going to have to shower for weeks to get the stains off our souls.

Yeah h10 swallowed up all of former h1, 2/3s of h19 and h9.

Seeing that second age ended on Mir 1 so fast. Same could be said here too. Unless somebody contests you guys in the next two months in England.

I agree that the number of Factions in a House should not have been increased.

The kicking everyone out of their Faction and house gave stagnant W5 a jolt it needed, but contrary to what would have made the World more interesting for everyone, many former enemies in Scotland are now in the tent as opposed to them having made the effort to organize something with newly relevant Houses.

Setting Side what Pink is up to, if something does not change, World 5 looks to be as exciting as playing poker for toothpicks in the old age home.

There has basically been no real changes in W5. It had become a pure farming game because of total domination by H1 and, since they are all rejoining as H10, it will remain a pure farming game. No one can attempt to fight them without being overwhelmed and wiped out.

FF have even made it much easier for a single House to dominate everything. Allowing bigger factions and Houses is exactly the wrong thing to do. Having faster armies also helps the bigger Houses as they can send more attacks from longer distances. The rules should have been changed to give more encouragement to smaller Houses and localise wars more.

I can't see me staying on W5 unless something changes, I did not want to play Stronghold Sims, and that is what is happening with the second age just making things worse.
Get a life, in fact play MMO's and get a few of them
