More power to Aland Renauld who seems to be on a conquering frenzy. However, the way the game is structured, it seems the #1 player gets a huge payout compared to the other players. I can see this being a limiting factor in the game. Who wants to pile in more hard earned cash when the top player is sitting on a pile of GAS that was earned in the game and can easily beat anyone else on the leader board? This game would be more sustainable and might attract more players if the payouts were distributed more evenly such that the good players would get a bigger share but that the new players would also be rewarded for their participation (yes, drops and all that but I'm talking about GAS that allows us to continue playing without a constant outlay of dollars, pounds, yuan...). People will only want to play as long as they feel they have a shot at competing for the bigger prizes without dumping excess of $100 in order to get there. As it is, it won't be long before Aland Renauld owns the board with stats that no other player will be able to touch and even less chance of capturing a city or town.

I agree completely, that said more events like the one going on now will benefit lower players rather than higher players generally. I personally would like to see some kind of cap implemented on cities or perhaps have a debuff/diminishing return where the higher numbers of cities one owns the less troops they can put in it or get less gas after x amount of cities.
Then again from the devs point of view if someone is willing to drop that much initial money and the game plan is to see the game really come online in the 2rd or 3rd, especially if this game can end up being cross chain, then most likely having one player with a big advantage won't matter that much by then. (if it ruining the game by then i'm sure changes will be made.)
Yup, not sure how many players there currently are but a larger map with more places, and a limit of 1-2 cities per player would go a long way.
The game is pretty bland as it is, not much to do either I'm pretty sure the devs are aware of that though.
Ya absolutely, even the dev said the game is a long play. Starting off it's going to be expensive in terms of gas as well as simplified. Pretty sure they are focusing on the economics of the game and making sure transactions can be fast smooth on the blockchain then as the generations go on make it cheaper as well as add depth to the game to attract a wider audience
