When you get a moment, look at k44. All ill say is that if we had a tribe in k44 with that many premades in close proximity, our d req would be very high. Mattcurr like levels!
Id have used the invite feature to create a tribe in a no hauls so that it was extremely close together to one another, I would not have used either the preregister or direction choice which would have lowered the necessary amount of defense needed. More-over I do not think that high early, note the key word early requirements are what I would have done in said situation either, since I would prefer to be ahead or equal, and get the defense later on, better tribes are less likely to attack right out of bp they know how the game is played. In a high n00b area, or a psudeo elite tribe near me that thinks their hot shit I would have high early BP requirements. I figured Id tell you what Id have done since you brought me up.
Core saying you guys are a little behind is not the same thing as saying I AM THE GREATEST, learn to read. And random kid, 25 mines are not more than enough to go for nobles ffs they are way too low. If you went any lower like you suggest is possible you're simply really bad..
