World War loot completely NOT worth the effort? Please increase the loots

I agree that I'm spending more (especially in oil - even if my troops come home three generals cost a lot to train even if i don't use them all) than I am getting even if we win the war, but I still think WW is the best part of the game. If the only reason you are in war is because of the possible loot payout then you probably shouldn't be playing in wars. i think it's most fun for throwing everything you have at the hardest bases you'll see and working together as a team to try and win. We talk a lot about strategy for how to hit certain bases and it's the best opportunity for helping lower/newer players figure out what troop comp/drop strategy/attack plan works best for them, and that helps them in every battle, not just the war attack. I think war makes us as individuals better players and as a team boosts camaraderie and helps our lower age players.

Maybe they could do something like you get the max capacity of your CP for winning a war or perhaps winning with a perfect score. That not only gives a motivation to upgrade the CP but also benefits later ages more.

Does glory even do anything? I see people going on about winning or losing glory points, but I never see anybody post that it does anything other then other then make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside because your glory is higher.

We are deserved to have crown as point of reward.
We pay a lot on the troop in top tier war, crown is the only meaningful reward

Your first problem is playing for 1 time use troop items for wars that really dont mean anything

War loot is absolutely not worth the time and effort spent for the WW. Doing a WW for the loot is nonsense, I can win the equivalent of a war loot in less than 10 min by destroying 2 weak players full of ressources and using only a part of my standard army while in WW I have to do 2 attacks with everything (army, planes, generals, mercenaries, coalitions etc.) and often heavy losses.
So WW is here for fun and to give a use to alliances, to play as a team etc. The loot is just a bonus but if that bonus could be increased to give a real sense to it that could be nice.

I think I have a similar outlook.
PvP for raiding and resource gathering, World War for playing as a team and supporting the Alliance.

TinSoldier Your post isn't showing up here, but I can see it in your profile.

I agree the main source of resources should be raiding enemies, but World War rewards should be at least enough to cover the cost of training the troops. As it is, it doesn't come close.

I doubt we'll ever get crowns for war loot (and if we did it would be very minimal). My main issue with war loot is the oil. Using IA as an example, you can earn about 11% of the food/gold cap in a single war, but only 3% for oil. If they at least doubled the oil payout, that would make war a lot more appealing.

Yep, Only bragging rights, and those top alliances are very organized with FB and Discord. Very time consuming and imo it becomes more of a job than fun. I enjoy playing in alliances below 20K glory. This is only my opinion and do not speak for the players in those top alliances.

I like this idea as well. I would also like to see the vault hold more oil. If the vault would hold 15k this would make it better for all players to safely hold valuable resources. As it is right now I haven't used my vault in months...

A necro post, but a topic still worth talking about. There really ought to be more incentive to actually war besides glory. There are no actual leagues and the rewards for playing wars are minimal at best. Like, what is actually the point of investing all of my army's potential if the reward is just a pat on the back? I might as well just opt out of wars and loot all day. Even climbing medals has atleast some loot benefit to it. Climbing in glory =/= better loot rewards for winning wars. Infact, if you want better loot as a warring alliance, then you probably want to throw a ton of matches (or lower your war weight with sandbags) so you're pit against teams that are so easy to beat that you don't even need to invest an entire army to 5 star them. This is not a good incentive.

as it is ww loot is a disincentive; new players need to be taught not to decide their targets by loot, that the loot is a meaningless distraction in ww....
where we have to negotiate around a design point, there is room for improvement.

like everyone i like the idea of a few crowns for winning, or participating, in ww.
surely people would stop missing attacks and participate with vigor for practical benefits.
i don't think it has to be a lot; it could be on the same scale as goals, and perhaps connected to alliance glory.

Interesting point about war loot as an incentive. I would actually go further and say that, win or lose, each alliance should get FULL loot rewards. Glory should be the only incentive.

Heh. Was going to address this sooner or later. I'm planning a huge update suggestion thread.

I think that higher glory should award NTG instead as a daily bonus. This would help off set the cost of coalition because getting enough NTG for the coalition you want can be a struggle. Between finding the right nation and then actually receiving the trade good for winning. It pretty costly I only need 20 for 2 coalitions at the moment and It is a a disappointment when I find that rare German nation that I can beat , then not receive a salt for it. And they can claim that there is a bug which hide that you received it. I know alot of time I do not get them.
