but why voting? i dont see the point of it except to remove a large part of the fun when it comes to the AI battles
AI battles were easily abused and were a large part of the issue of steam rolling by large clans and alliances.
The whole point of voting is to get small clans on the map from day 1 giving them a chance to compete, whilst creating uncertainty for large clans, making them more cautious. In this voting worked perfectly. The problem with it was the ridiculous micromanagement needed on voting day. It would also be nice if clans had a bit less control over where to vote for so that each strat round didn't always end up with the same clans in the same places.
