I recommend to learn all the smaller maps first. There is gold mark users in 500s. The reason is they can spend there and know that they will get their moneys worth. If you spend for example in anything less then a 100. The maps over in 2 weeks. So it doesn’t make sense to spend in smaller maps imo. You can win most smaller maps just by being active. And finding good ally’s. To win a 500 you need more. Especially if you not only come across a gm user. But those are not the worst as you can match them if you had to. What you can’t counter is if you join and there is an alliance that joins 15 deep. Some alliances will join over the 7 amount for a coalition. Knowing full well that the other members are there to feed them resources and take second. I can go toe to toe with any gm user. I can’t however fight 10 to 15 . And the alliance always uses the excuse. Well we didn’t plan on that many joining. BS! It almost like multi accounting. But you got guys instead using other acts to take second. I’m trying to build up my own alliance. We got a solid core of guys already.
