HONOUR BUG NO LOSS

Here are some facts:

Veronica's Hunting Park, outpost of Tyrania
Point Value = 12170
Build Value = 10170
339 runes spent on build, 339*30 = 10170

lower limit of village value VHP can attack without honor loss = 10170/1.25 = 8136

Tyrania
Point Value=15510
15510/1.25=12408 is the lower limit value of a village Tyrania can attack without honor loss.

Tyrania has now consumed 655 runes
If all those runes had been spent on Tyrania as a war village it would have a point value of
19850

(655*30)+200=19850

19850/1.25=15880 would be the lower limit value village Tyrania could attack without honor loss.

But Tyrania has spent runes to build two Outposts
108 runes to build VHP. 108 * 30 = 3240 points
and another 130 runes to build VWC, another 3900 points

Tyrania has a an actual build value of 12710 or 417 runes spent on Farms, Barracks. Iron mines etc...
Now WHAT would you suggest doing with those points that contribute nothing to the village in war capability but do add significantly to the point value.

If ALL 7140 points were added to Tyrania's value it would have the build value of 12710, could be attacked by any village without honor loss under 25k and would be unable to attack any target under 16k without honor loss.

Instead the devs have decided to split the points used to build the op between the main village and the OP. 1240 points are added to the main for the first OP and 2000 are added to the OP but are not calculated against the OP for honor loss.

When we save up runes from battles, buying, or destroying some of our own buildings to get that coveted outpost, we all expect to be able to hit a new "crop" of players. that is the advantage of all that hard work because once our main's reach a certain size, the targets become very limited. But because many send their waters to their outposts and discard the others, this makes a super-outpost.  Not only is it Aqua-enhanced, but it ALSO has that 2000 pt cushion to hit little players. Just look at everyone's outposts. lots of stables and very little of anything else. Why bother when you can just build a large warehouse and have others, or your main, send it what it needs. We are ALL smart enough to know this, do this, and take advantage of this. Everyone must be willing to give this up if changes are made...

Not bad if we are milking those inactives that played and quit, but when we attack an active's main that simply has the same value or even less, it becomes... questionable.

2 suggestions if changes are needed:

#1 outposts can only attack other outposts. (would be difficult if there were none your size at the time you started yours) but your main can feed it runes and the outpost can do runes searches for a while to get to a value where it has targets.

#2 make an outpost have to keep a proportionate amount of all the types of runes so it's not water-logged. for instance, it can not add any more water once the water is 10% higher than the lowest used rune. then we have to build up that lowest rune before another water can be upgraded or built.

The problem with OP's is not the ease with which you can send runes down to them. A properly built OP can get its own runes through raiding AND rune searches with constant resource injections from the main village, clan mates etc. In fact one frustrating thing about OP's is that runes can stack up in them much faster than they can be consumed. OP's can then be used as a clan rune factory once a rune ladder is set up for distribution. In short, OP's further aggravate the endemic structural problems of concentrating POWER in the hands of a few dominant players/clans.

Me and Milan are looking into it.
Will be resolved... soonish.
Sorry for the delays.
