This quote was in the top 20 tribes thread, as it is somewhat off topic, I thought a proper thread regarding mass recruit tribes = fail was worthy of it's own topic:
I'll post some obvious reasons... feel free to comment, or add other reasons.
1) Mass recruit tribes have a tendency to recruit numerous players in the same map spaces... limiting growth, and preventing anyone from that tribe to properly farm.
2) Most players who would join a tribe that spam invites other people in there map space don't farm.
3) Most experienced players will avoid a mass recruit tribe like it's the plague
4) Most players who join mass recruit tribes tend to be farms rather than farmers
5) Most leaders who will mass invite without an account sit or interview are impossibly noob and have very little chance of overall success.
6) Most mass recruit tribes think quantity > quality
7) A member of a mass recruit tribe has a huge bullseye on his/her back. Basically, good players assume all players in mass recruit tribes are noob, and therefore easy farms (usually true). I had 13 members of a single tribe in my 15x15... 5 have restarted, I"m farming 6 more, and 2 are yet to be cleared, as they are growing fast enough to make potential noble villages later.
If I spent more time I could think of more reasons Mass recruit tribes fail... All it takes is a handful of experienced players, whether from 1 tribe, or multiple tribes, to nibble on them to reduce morale, and eventually see the demise of a mass recruit tribe. Nobling noob dukes is a quick way to end this.
Why does everyone say mass recruiting tribes will fail? :icon_razz:
