"Starting today, there will be a slight change to the rules of Tribe Domination. Tribes who merge during Tribe Domination, will now be disqualified from Tribe Domination. All other functions of Tribe Domination will remain the same." From this announcement- https://en.forum.tribalwars2.com/index.php?threads/tribe-domination.4319/
I feel like this was a really rash decision and also rather unclear. Clearly it was done in reaction to w18 merging but its so vague and doesnt take into consideration what it could do to a world. Tribe domination from my understanding starts when a tribe controls 70% of the villages.
So what if 2 tribes merge when they both have 40% of the villages... Does that mean under this rule it is ok since they started the merge before tribe domination? Or do they have to stop merging after they hit 70%? Or do they have to stop merging after a mod gets a chance to post tribe domination has occurred (by then a tribe could already be 75% or 80%).
What if 2 tribes merge and everyone knows they are about to do so... once they reach 70% someone reports them to the mods and says hey they reached tribe domination and are merging. There has been discussion of tactical reporting.. would this fall under that scenario? Do you then ban the person who reported it? He knew it was going to occur.
Furthermore, what happens once you "disqualify" the tribes? Can those members just make a new tribe called "OWN v2.0" and now recruit 80% to win? It is now a new tribe who are simply recruiting, not merging. Or are the members of these tribes also disqualified from winning? Because then you have 70-80% of the world not able to win.... so how does the world actually end? Or are you hoping that the tribe not apart of the merger can now recruit all the members from the merging tribes to win... Because then arent they in essence also merging to win? Thus defeating the whole purpose of the rule and also benefiting likely the tribe that reported the merger? I highly doubt the mods actively are checking % of tribe domination unless someone asks them to do so.
Last scenario... what happens if you disqualify the tribes and they decide if they cant win, no one will... they do own 70% of the world... so likely they can just kill the rest of the world... so now you have the disqualified tribes and no one else... how does the world end? Do they just remake a new tribe and all their sins are resolved? The rule doesnt say.
I do agree something has to change, but i dont think this is it..
