So joining a Distant Town as a hero with over 100 soul points did indeed drag my coalition with me
Damn, and I'm not with you. But the town I have right now is really cool. Veggie field and almost 300 defenses up on day 4. Few deaths so far, strong scavenging troops, strong builders - we get over 100 AP into building every day, reliably. Really rocks. We'll get around 350 zombies tonight, and I'm not afraid.
