Fun Stats that will help prevent large raiders.

Well it's like this, if you have a Rank for UP and a rank for total army size you can get the raiders rank higher there by limiting the targets they can hit.
Plus who doesn't want to know where they stand( about)
Side note, someone suggested a Rank for income.
And yes it's supposed to make it harder for large raiders, and better for smaller raiders.
Due to high demand and my poor wording here an update.

Rank, for UP ( total)

rank for army size (total)

rank for income ( total)

all three
Meaning... That people will have to see how far from the best they really are. It will be a true scale of power. Much harder to hide, but it shouldn't really effect too much game play.
And it would reduce the ranks of those accounts with 1000-2000uu, and 200 Up. They would still be there but they would be farther that way people can still get into the GP range, and it would help to provide people with a base of what they really need to improve.

This is a really good idea apart from one problem people with 0 stirke will still be able to hit quite a lot of players though this may just stop them from raiding so efficiently and allow raiding to be the way for people to catch up with the big guys.

not a bad idea, it would also make getting on the first page harder for some and it would make ranks more realistic (if it included all the stats) rather then just who has the biggest strike/def/covert/ms, it would also affect your ascensions as if u want to be strong in ascension and have a high up for more points then it would make your rank higher, therefore harder to raid in main, umm interesting

I like this idea, would be cool to see what your UP is ranked, would you want Total or Raw up to be ranked ?

This is a really good idea. UP is costly. I think a rank for UP would more clearly articulate the resources and strength invested in the account.

i will just make the larger raiders only able to raid the BIG raid farms, so it should just give the smaller raiders a chance.

I cannot support this idea as i think that raiding is something that anyone can do and do well and is one of the areas that anyone can excell at. It allows people to grow with the amount of effort that is put into the raiding. The more you do the quicker your account grows. I have 2 officers that are new to the game and are really starting to get good at raiding.
This would lead to people not wanting to build up as it would make it difficult for people to recover after a war if there up has a decent rank. I see this proposal as possibly conter productive in keeping the top ranked players up there and making it difficult for others to catch up

i think this would be good but i dont think it should change our total rank, i think it should show u what they are ranked but it shouldnt change our total rank

Considering that I'm a raider and without raiding I would have no way to grow, I have to say i dont' quite agree. The little guys need to be given a chance to catch up with the big ones. But other than the armysize=ranked thing the rest is great. It would be cool to see how ur UP and stuff is ranked.

Seem to be a bunch of people missing the point - adding these rankings and making them part of the total ranking will make it harder for larger accounts (with huge armies/up/income) to stay low in the ranks and raid very low-ranked people. For people that don't know, you can only raid people down to ~10 x your own rank. This would still allow
everybody to raid, but would keep more of the big'ns raiding people closer to their own size.
Is this your motivation, High Empty, or do you just want to make it harder for people with huge armies/ups to drop rank out of your reach?
