How is member count a reflection of power?
1,000 members with 10 troops each is not stronger than 10 members with 10,000 troops.

Well, fun aside.... both groups are strong, and I wouldn't dare to bet on any side, if we would have a hypothetical battle between those blocks.  |
I am thinking that misusing the power you possess does not make you any less powerful... :)
And let's not kid ourselves, its not just the total population, but the qty of members that is the power here...

Ye it is only 9,991,956 population now...
See H? isn't as powerful as everyone makes out.

Maybe it would be one of those wars where both sides lose.

Sheesh, you guys have no sense of humour. That particular account was in fact me, since I felt very bored at the time and Rill's comment about Harmless being the mightiest alliance made me think of trolls. And I thought, what the heck? Apparently I was too convincing. Anyway, congrats on reaching ten million population, although you have lost some apparently.

Good job on 10 mill pop.I still think H? is by far strongest alliance (confed of alliances included) in Illy.

Thanks, Sloter. And you are entitled to your opinion, but it is perfectly rational to believe, in Illyriad, that having twice the population of another makes you a bit more powerful, don't you think?

Ta Luna.
/me thinks several people here are trying to down-play their own alliances and up-play H?
Don't blame them tbh - nobody shows their cards before they play them.

I don't think any rational person could disagree with that.
