It is part of the family, right, sumosland.
But to say that V V Vk is a part of V V V is like to say that LEGION is a part of PKs or SCIROS is a part of SCIOVA. 2 separate different tribes with different leaders, views and even some non-major difference in diplomacy sometimes.
The thing is that any good active player (I assume, you are the one) grows in time killing enemies and consuming villages around. So, with time if you are successful you have only tribemates or allies around - first stage of conquest ends. Then you move to a new location, were red fish is living, enemies all around and your help is needed and fight/grow there. This is what our good active people do, they do not sit and wait until enemies will come for them. You do not wait for food, you go hunt for it. Of course, you can just play single and take everything on your own but it is not fun and way to slow. My opinion.
