Increased NPC sizes need to be introduced.

My 235 Knights destroyed 3360 Arakvar, with only 1005 Arakvar remaining, this is only a pittance of my standing force. The tournament also indicated that many players can now destroy 10K, 20K, 30K plus troop sizes. The NPC's need to evolve to reflect this.

The spawns of newer and larger NPCs should also be in places where the population is higher, so people with a large enough army don't have to look 300 squares for an army that is big enough for them to fight.

I seem to recall one of the GMs stating there were much larger NPC armies but were removed. I can't remember why but I think it was because almost no one would attack them.

No doubt that was back when huge players were uncommon.

Yeah I remember them. Like Fateful said it was when I was small.

cant just be around large areas of population as i find it hard to get enough npc armies up my way before i destroy them...but agree they need to be bigger but i guess what we would need to think about is how often the tourneys are going to be held ?

I remember having fought (and lost to) NPC armies that counted 7500 units (about 2 months ago). For the majority of Illys players, such a number is an insurmountable obstacle (at least solo).

Are you really saying they need to outgrow such numbers?

I kinda find it a little drastic. If you have many troops to spend - slam them into someone with a similar amount and get the xp. Why make it harder for the smaller players to have a little fun?

That is not at all what I am suggesting. I am requesting ADDITIONAL NPC sizes (on the upside). This does nothing except simply assist the larger players.

Alright fair enough then. Maybe it would be good to implement with the faction AI.
