this type of a merger happened in w3...where a tribe grignr merged with a few other tribes that were likewise in the top 20 at the time... grignr rose to the number 1 ranking and declared war on the cult family.... about 2 months later and grignr is ranked #5, and have lost 13 accounts in those 2 months. the #2 ranked player in the game also in grignr, has lost over 50% of his villages in that same time frame (considering he was over 7 mill points that is a lot of villages to lose, roughly equates to a loss of over 350 villages in that time period)... there are some serious problems to this type of a merger as grignr are now witnessing in W3...
those problems:
1. Not quick enough support for your players when being attacked.
2. Too far apart for successful operations against specific players.
3. prone to players leaving more often as they do not have a local play group in their vacinity.
so in all honesty on paper this looks good, but in reality, those tribes get spanked when they go into a war with another top 5-10 tribe as they do not have the support basis to assist their members.... Cult took twice as many villages as grignr in the first 48 hours after grignr declared war on cult...one of the very first times in this world where a major war has had the defenders doubling the agressors in the first 48 hours... woudl this same trend repeat here? I think it very likely if these two tribes were silly enough to do this sort of a merger...
just my thoughts on the matter, having seen a prime example of it in another world.
