I have looked around and recently thought to myself that there seems to be an inequality where alliance blocks are concerned.
I understand what the dev's are working towards with this type of restriction, but I am thinking that the current restriction based on REGION count leaves lots of room for inequality.
What is it that actually makes an alliance?
I do not believe that the strength of an alliance (or a realm for that matter) should be based on the number of regions involved/included.
The true power of an alliance (and a realm) is the NOBLES that are involved.
It is the nobles that affect the world around them, not the regions that they hold.
On the EC, the
Perleone/Perdan/Sydgard/Vix Tiramor block includes 79 nobles.
Sirion/Caligus/Shadowdale block includes 54 nobles
Eponllyn/Nivemus block includes 46 nobles
There are 190 nobles total on EC. 190/3=63.33
On Beluaterra the
Thalmarkin/Ar Agyr/Gotland/Grehkia block includes 62
Nothoi/Angmar/Caelint block includes 38
Obia'Syela/Shattered Vales block includes 47 nobles
There are 162 nobles total on BT. 162/3=54
War is fought by the nobles of a realm, not by the number of regions they hold.
This is partly true, but not the entire story. Nobles are essential in war, but so is resources gold in particular and quality RCs. The number of nobles alone is just as bad a metric as regions, how many of the nobles are active, how many are in armies, how effective are those armies?
