You want to look at barb nobling - look at W10. You've had nearly every little barb nobled and grown. I'm sorry, but that just reeks of a world of barb nobling. You say a number of top tribes - you mean Nuke|W and Nuke|E.
Not necessaraly the case, World 10 has say 1 in 25 core villages as small barbs. World 12 had more small barbs than active players in their core. World 12 had more small barbs nobled and built up than in this world.
Say what? What 18 mill player are you refering too? Heavens?

Yep, never been in DNY.
Sorry not Heavens, but he was still recruited at the end too. I meant Grim reality at 9-10 mill.

He should have just been attacked by DNY if they where the ones complaining about having nobody left to noble.
As for the ODA. You do releise that we already explained that nearly the entire top 20 ODA players deleted right? But ofc, you already forgot that. You have a habit of ignoring stuff that could possibly mean that W12 was a good world with a top notch tribe.#
If you really want to compare ODAs:
Elite Dynasty 3.549,73 Mio.
Ctrl+Alt+Elite 3.796,07 Mio.
Not bad considering CTRL were 6 months older.
CTRL ended a long long time before DNY finished their world. CTRL started from players with 200 points where you barely get any ODA. When DNY started they had players with 300k-600k points. This means the first 6 months CTRL would have barely got any ODA anyway. And it more than made up for it after CTRL finished and DNY had an extra 8 months on CTRL at the end.
Weather the top 20 ODA players deleted or if you are making it up it doesn't matter. Many players in world 10 have done the same. The most recent was spawnie last week was top 5 ODA if I remember correctly. Happens in every world. But the facts show your players' ODA in world 12 is a hell of a lot lower than the players in world 10.
