yes you see right... instead of putting a lot of buildings on the exterior and few on the interior, they did the opposite. The biggest guilds in the center will be entrenched and the small ones will not be able to leave their HQ or defend themselves.
The only advantage of this map is that there are fewer slots to build buildings, so fewer slots to place SCs, the biggest guilds will therefore have less interest in coming to seek and run the outer provinces . So potentially a bit of fresh air for small guilds.
You have completely missed the point. The larger guild have been taking over the outer provinces because they surround them with provinces they have placed siege camps on.
The objective of battleground has changed to getting as many attacks in without using resources to do it (more attacking means more rewards)
By not having slots for buildings next to your base is killing smaller as guilds because they are not getting the privilege of placing siege camps thus using more resources for less rewards.
If it was reversed the smaller guilds could capture more provinces to be recaptured by the larger guilds.
It would not take the smaller guilds as many resources to gain rewards.
The biggest problems is smaller guilds are not even participating in diamond league now , if you change it so they could also be able to have the benefit of siege by their base you wouldn’t have the problems of them tanking in the diamond league just to be able to go to platinum league.
For example I can only get 60 attacking done without siege camps,with the help of siege camps I’ve been able to get as many as 200 before my attrition levels stop me from continuing.
