I support the idea of those two leader boards, and removal of the battle board -I want to know who is ACTUALLY strongest. I have a main ranked 2k above someone that has way more ally bonus, and 500k more stats. I find that lame. I don't support the removal of the the valuable/strongest allies/whatever LBs -I think its cool to know who has the strongest group of ally in the game, shows they are wise shoppers -Some people take pride in his amount of cash sank into ally's especially end game when you have nothing better to do with gold than buy ally.
After selling a few allies yesterday I decided to upgrade rather than put it back into allies, so I used the 170bil to buy land and build 3 building, my Overall lb rank jumped 900 spots while my ally lb dropped 1000. Before that I was gaining about 20 places every day, ally value the same and BFA changing only slightly so is it actions that were bringing me up lb each day? Looks like it.
