Thats why it's even better though. See, you're viewing the high traffic sub-1 bill pool as a bad thing. There are ONLY bad allies to own there. The fact that it's high traffic is actually profitable for smaller players when they keep investing in it and ensuring they are a part of those purchases. It doesn't matter if the ally is 0cs and 700 mil. HE WILL BE BOUGHT. No one should expect to be able to hold onto allies under 1 bil, hell. No one should expect that up to 100 bil. Its fast, easy and free revenue for Amy new account almost EVERY time they log on. The sub 1 bil market has been high traffic since I was a newb. Now that I'm a noob it just moves faster. Also all new players when joining hopefully gets in a clan that tells them "just keep buying into the ally market, it's free gold" because new players don't start with enough IMO. I wouldn't give them free gold outright (that would be exploited and anyone who thinks it wouldn't hasn't paid attention in KaW long enough) but the plunder spell they get (200%) shouldnt be the only one they get. Id say give plunder spell incentives for Lowlands. First Tier 4 building upgraded to MAX level activates 2 day 100% plunder day spell. When 15 Lowlands get buildings for first time activate 2 day 50% plunder spell. When all Lowlands get filled activate 2 day 100% spell. When all LLBC (Max tier and Max level) activate 1 week 100% spell. Not only do you set goals for new accounts, you give immediate incentive and ability to be more active out of the gate.
