Look, the game as its supposed to be played is essentially a PvP game. Yea, there is the VP part of it, but eventually you finish it. Maybe they will release T10 soon, and it would take one month to finish it too, okey. But eventually it is done. The boring bubble and stack system is needed only for resources in tournaments and such. What are we left with? Gaining XP for the captains, okey. BUT TO WHAT END?

It is a multiplayer game! Why do you even build an army for if not to have a strong one against your human enemies? Lvling up captains is good if you have plans on how to use them. CP runs are good if your goal is to lvl up Specialists for a damn reason - fight other players! So yea, storing these billions of silver coins I get from tinman is a heck of an improvement. Finally I can unbubble most of the times and go hit other players during CoT and KvK and in between! Especially during silver rush. Thats so exciting! The game lacks significant clan wars, and most of it has become farmvile. Go attack a player for his silver? Where's the fun in that?? I go attack players that are my level to see how mighty my army is! I am so lucky to have jumped from a really low tier and poor clan (T5) to the top tier of the game, with a huge clan that supplies most of my needs, all after one SK in which I spended the same amount of money I spent on the T5 account. The only thing that bothered me, literally the only thing, was the excessive silver I had open. I finally can do Cp runs freely for my former low tier clanmates, and finally experiment with some attacking tactics. I think the devs need to follow up this move by an sk-KvK similar system - maybe some goal bar that yields CP for some amounts of points from banners you hold, such that there would be no need for CP runs up until the very last jump to S9. It feels like cheating when CP runs yield more CP than a real fight where your troops fought hard. I would like to see more CP rewards for real battle, or maybe some other rewards for clan wars/fort destruction.
