How is the playing field evened out? You'll be facing better tribes than you may have ever faced before and your coordination in defending would have to have gotten better tenfold since w96 where I last saw your tribe in action. Just because accounts can grow at about the same right doesn't mean it makes it even in fighting skills.
Good luck to you and your tribe.
Honestly, as one of kirks most hated, even I can admit, he is a more than capable defender and tbh is probably one of the best guys you'd want coordinating and throwing orders at your team in times of defence.
Yes his tribes lack more than a little something, but if he gets the recruits he can more than help his tribe hold their own. We proved this on World 93, yes I did have alternate plans, and no kirk would of not won that world with the impressive tacticians in Screw able to literally dominate that world.
But give kirk his due on that world, we held of a tribe that greatly outgrew and sized his. They stated with villages/players in positions they should of just desimated kirks tribe with ease, but with kirks defensive knowledge we simply held a wall between myself and 2-3 other frontline accounts, and when we hit them back, it was glorious.
But then he went and allied the enemy, that was my que to leave.
But no matter how much I dislike him on a personal level, I respect the tribe that kirk tries to build, and although I'd arrogantly say I'd shit on them, they'd be the biggest pain to move.
