NERFED
Plarium will always modify the system whenever someone found a good way to get more return.
Example 1:
If Plarium found players are able to build their army with eldritch necromancers and eldritch golems better, then Plarium will kill the eldritch units and replace them with warlocks and demons.
If the players continue to get bigger army with the warlocks and demons, then Plarium will kill the warlocks and demons and replace them with knights and barbarians.
In the not-so-distant future, Legendary and Epic tournaments will reward pikemen and archers.
Example 2:
If players can grow their army thru the Battlegrounds, then Plarium will impose a tax of 5% from the return.
If players can keep growing (maybe by magic) with the 5% tax, then Plarium will impose 15% tax from the return.
In the not-so-distant future, all Battlegrounds will have a tax of 100% (players will just do it for experience points).
Conclusion:
The government runs Plarium.
Plarium will put a stop to any growth potential of players' army in the name of fairness.
In other words, if you can grow by doing act A, Plarium will put a stop to act A.
In the future, Stormfall will no longer be a war game, but merely a hangout place for people to get into idle chat.
