Because the vast majority of tribes in this world were alliance-happy, the world has become... boring. At one time there were several wars going on at once. But now that almost every tribe left has an intricate system of allies, who is there left to war? Inactives? Barbs?
Sure, there are a few wars that could shake up the world a bit at this time... but no matter which one happens, it will involve more than half the world fighting because of alliances. Fighting one will drag the others into the fight, making the war a long, drawn out war that will takes months to end even if one side is awesome and the other sucks, simply because of the sheer number of nobles needed.
And even if all that is thrown out the window and it happens... guess how the war will end- yep, that's right, recruitment. It won't be a military victory, it will be a victory where one sides defects to the other and makes yet another family tribe (providing that the bored members of the winning tribe don't quit too fast).
That's why the world has become boring, in a nut shell. There aren't many military victories. The only ones I can think of any time recently is death of -AD-, death of Apollo (provided XXXX don't start recruiting their members), and the future death of TCDD. D3TH wasn't killed militarily- the disbandment was definitely influenced by the war, but the tribe broke apart and many members defected to the other side- EBR and BDeath are still alive, so the victory has not been won by killing every red dot :icon_confused:
So yeah, I agree with Broly- it's alliance happy tribes that ruin this game and progress it into the endgame stages waaaay too quickly.
