24 level 20 camps. how can we few but strong(ish) group protect that? We protect the Reach and the camps in development. The goal is to get 24 camps to 20, we can even offer deals where we ask alliances to bribe and barter us to twenty and then offer the camp as a farm. We grab Aid spoils from the Reach and barter spoils from the region we are developing. In other words, we can not protect the camps, but we can, given proper preparation, build them. And the point of this is just in building them. It would be challenging, provide for changing scenery, and make a great story.

So right now Sam, Alex, Tik, and myself are in, Cristan is wait and see, and not sure about everyone else... This is what the spreadsheet would look like... A modest proposal

I'm definetly in but have you done any of the math to see if this is even possible? For instance if we need 2000+ trebs and they take three hours each divided by 25 or whatever, can we even possibly make all the mats in the next six months? I did look and thousand eyes and one was winning the overall and they seemed to be in only three or four regions competitively.
I love this idea but maybe just logistically it's only viable in 6,7 or 8 camps. If this makes sense? Keeping in mind, what, five days to make camps to 20

It would mean that we would have to sit out every AvsA for the foreseeable future to just build, build, and keep building materials. Granted it would give us lots of time to RI, breed dragons, etc but I can certainly see the boredom factor coming into play LONG before we had sufficient loot to pull it off.

Good points Cristan.
However, we would be participating in the WE between now and then building alliances. We would require lots of friends to pull this off.
The best case scenario is that we do not move any of our troops into the development regions and have two or three major allies bombarding us with Barter and Bribe, after which they have the camps as farm camps and we have a piece of our puzzle.
As such, we would be involved in a very real game of developing these alliances over the next six months, which would involve strategy that is not connected to the prizes at all, but just as meaningful. What do you think?

Hey I'm always willing to go with the majority. If everyone else is happy? I'm happy too

I'm not trying to push. I want to know how everyone honestly feels about this idea. Four is hardly a majority, and we haven't even heard from Col yet. So I am still looking at this as an idea with an open forum for discussion and modification.
There are issues of timing and organizarion that need to be discussed as well. but the key issue to be decided first is do we, as a group, want to put this forward as our next goal?
