It looks like people can now remain in perg with a 96.9 army if they're in there before they hit the 32 million cap.
96.9 million army (30% of cap) is just too high, in my opinion.
These perg alliance people are abusing the whole idea of perg.
I think that top cap needs to be lowered, perhaps to 15%. That's 48m army.
There are hardly any accounts even close to current plague cap of 323 million army, so the theory that these accounts need to be protected from the huge guys is a bit off.
96.9 million army is pretty darn huge still despite the fact there are some 200m+ and a few max accounts around. But there's not many.

Re: Perg cap?
sounds to me more like the entire cap system is broken...instead of only the purg cap...
why have that plague cap so high if so few are over it?

Re: Perg cap?
sam - you are basing your numbers off of the wrong figure.... the cap perg cap is based from the max army size where you can buy units. Even so, I think the perg cap is getting to the stage where it is too high (yet again) - 48mil army is not conducive for small players to grow.
IMO max 30mil

Re: Perg cap?
Thanks guys. Others in my alliance corrected me,too.
The wording in game is slightly confusing and I'm already horrendously bad at math ('tis why I write for a living instead).
Still, I suppose my concern stands. 45m army before someone is booted from perg? It's extremely hard for the little guys to have any protection in there with someone that large. I'm not even one of the uber little guys but I've got a bit to go before that. It's so odd to me that someone can't get in if they're already at 32m but they can get in there before that and then, in essence, turn into bullies and vultures by not being booted before 45m.
I hope serious consideration is taken over this, Forum. I know that I'm a nobody in this here game compared to other, larger influential players. But I am a player here and I enjoy having these discussions.

Re: Perg cap?
Trouble is there needs to be a an upper limit, that is substantially higher than the entry limit, in order to make it fair/worthwhile.
You can't simply have an entry limit of 32 million, and then when you get to 32,000,100 you get booted out!
The current level of 45 million would seem about right.
I don't know why people moan about it anyway - isn't the fact that you are protected (without actually the need to do anthing) from the rest of the game enough? There has to be some reasonable risk in everything - and the current limits are fair.
On a modding note - it's getting a bit tedious seeing new 'perg cap' suggestions/moans popping up every few days. Let's make this the last (and official) one for suggesting new perg cap ideas.

Re: Perg cap?
while it wouldn't benefit me personally, i think there should be a hard cap on perg.
say 25mil for entry and 30mil auto-kick. This will ensure that people can at least fight back to some degree since you cant really have a well-rounded account at 25mil army size.
i know that i've seen quite a few 1tril strikes in perg that are able to have defense close to that. imo that's just too much to be conducive to growth for the little guys(ya know, the original intent of perg).
