I think part of the problem with them is that in practice there is like 1 or 2 major factions that have covered the world now that the server has sort of established itself a little beyond early stages. Now people are either on the awesome side with all the benefits that come with it, or they got covered in one of the smaller realms that fizzled out after launch.
Occupants or members should have a way to usurp power from an inactive or defunct realm in some way. Pclaims & Vclaims have a decay mechanic, realms should also maybe.
Its far-fetched but a mechanic like outlaw being applied to a realm “King” would be neat. People could try and assassinate the character to take control or some such reward. I’m sure major powers would palisade beyond 50 gates or whatever but that would at least be another sink to slow them a bit further.
Ah you’re right the buffs are pretty amazing, realms are doing such a great job at retaining players. Sarcasm btw. There have been no changes to the way a realm expands and covers territory since world 9 and did you know that during that world my realm The Ivory Kingdom actually ended up being one of the biggest with some of the best buffs? I was able to accomplish all of that on my own while being supported by a few others. One side of a map covered by a single player pretty much.
Now consider how easy it was for those big factions to do the same thing on this world where expanding = buffs.
What's so bad about big groups expanding and getting buffs more easily than small groups? Half the map being covered by one guy seems horribly unbalanced tbh. You're making it sound like irminsuls and monoliths solved a problem rather than created one.
Anyways, here's some new kingdom buff ideas I had:
-something related to snow: it would buff snow q and significantly slow down the speed of melting.
-something related to dungeons: increased dungeon spawn rate, better dungeon loot to be found on land claimed by the realm
-something related to sewing: increased chances of gilding clothes, dex +3
-420 yolo: increased growth rate on poppies and hemp (hemp could finally grow as fast as flax!)
It would be nice to get a way to boost the growth speed of all crops, really.
