The thing is, what defined building a city? I would argue that todays level of buildings were never meant to be seen. While build time could use an improvement, a city does not have to be maxed out to be functional.

Maybe if it didn't take weeks/months to build a city, you'd see more gung-ho wars of mutually assured non-destruction.

A organized fight is not anywhere close to a real fight. A real fight would be attacking a rivals cities during the night, and burning them to the ground. I personally left illy because there was absolutely no purpose to me building up my army. If I used it against some one, I had the whole server on me, I would be kicked out of my alliance and destroyed.

Are we still in a sandbox? Not only does Illy provide seemingly infinite choices in how to play, the game is largely dependent on the players. Illy allows for each player to search for other players who are like minded and would like to play as warriors. If this is done early in their game, their cities' growth will suffer, but they will be enjoying the game. They have the ability to keep this warring to themselves, and therefore are in their own corner of the sandbox. Anyone who talks smack about these players, assuming the players are keeping to themselves, are disregarding those players' right to exist in Illy, peacefully or otherwise. And leave ATH alone, he's just bringing his toys to the sandbox.
edit: Thank you carrot much.

Necro... does AtH even check in here anymore?
Anyhow... an interesting discussion to be sure.
From my own point of view, I love chatting alliance mates and meeting newbies and familiar faces on GC... but at the end of the day I play this game for that moment where I can train some huge armies and send them into an almighty big brawl of some kind, whether it be a tournament, a seige, a friendly tete-a-tete or whatever.

For those that go "go pick on someone your own size" no one smart does that. no one historically has done that, its not practical. All this newbie friendly environment also allows a smaller player to insult larger withotu fear of siege. I can speak in the past of when i have done that and with JR shortly after he made my logo and we started disliking each other. |
