Small fams all over MW should play smart, they should be talking instead of attacking bigger fams, try to clear them and they kill u. Instead tell them ur that small and so not of any interrest and ask for a nap. Even if they ask up to max 10% of ur planets(this in case were the big fam is all over ur core and can easely take 50% of ur planets). Be smart nap those big fams and find urself fams ur size to grab from. It aint impossible to go from 26th to 11th during the round, and i know that as ive done it multiple times before.
Thing is a lot of small fams are like this:
WE DONT CARE ABOUT THIS ROUND SO WE FIGHT TILL END... like till they are dead
WE DONT PAY PLANETS FOR NAP... when ur not in position to negotiate
WE DONT NAP U COS WE CAN WIN THIS FIGHT, WE JUST KEEP ON KILLING UR MORALE
u know if fams dont play smart, thats the reason they are that small.
My fam had only 6 players to start off with and we end up high in ranks, by playing smart and aggresive and talks when needed.
Ive end up paying up 150 planets for a nap to continue as none of my attackers could be online for first 4-5 tiks of war with over 600 planets shares about same savings.
I could be like this: screw it we will see what happens, but before u gt back on track ur 1 rl week after if u get back on as ur enemy kicked a lot of ur infra and cleared all ur instant 1 -2 3- tikkers by now. leaving ur 400 bankers planets helpless to be grabbed. OR we pay the 150 wich is a lot to just give, but fight later.
Ended up 3th in size that round as fam.
