I don't care what you say this game is not about troops. It is about points, always has been always will be, they show your point rank at the top of the screen instead of your OD rank for a reason... and don't give me that "it's a war game" crap that everyone else says.
Troops are merely a means of getting more points, and keeping the ones you already have. :3
Hmm, you sort of contradict yourself there.
"

"

So what is it, troops or points? To get more points, you need the troops ... therefore yes, it is about troops. Unless off course you go around nobling barbs (in the main). If so, that's just poor play. Again, back to troops ... therefore a war game. Sure a war game is not only about troops, tactics for one are very important too.

That's because it's a game and therefore rank is the method of showing your place in the game. Points are used as OD rankings are not a definitive as points. By that I mean your ODD is not yours to control. Yes you can make it rise by attacking lots of players, or a selective few. It could be argued that rank could well be based on ODA.
Points or ODA ... it's shown for the top 20 tribes and players on the home screen on TW Stats for each world (bottom left corner). -
