Yeah I am in agreement with a lot of the previous posters, the changes went from one extreme to the other. If acquiring gold was the same as last strat and the prices hadn't increased it would make more sense. So really it comes down to either increasing the amount of gold we get either via trade or crpg, decreasing the amount of gold for villages, or a combination of them both.
If the Union had 20 more players they probably would have been able to take the village in the gear they used. I think our estimates put them around 20k or so in gear, but I am sure one of those guys could give the correct number. Doing simple math, if it took them 2 weeks to get together 20k to take on 50k village in an even fight, at 150k you are talking 60k gold and another few weeks. That just seems very high just to take a village, castles and cities are different matters entirely though.
Again just my thoughts.
