When is this going to be implemented? Now that the whole cs/energy concept has changed, making it more fun to do.. gathering energy will surely need the best of the best bots, because only the strongest will keep it, whilst others will be stripped of the energy
no more raping weak bots

I actually think that weak bots with low ratios who are in clans are the most fought over

I just had a thought, aren't Merges are going to be problematic due to a 20memeber size limit?

That could be avoided if there was a little check box similar to the permissions matrix that allows you to put a "check" next to what members you want to keep.

Are merges really something people want? I could do it eventually, but it would be low priority.

Personally I dont see merges to be needed on bots4, mainly due to the 20 member limit. The only reason it was a useful tool on bots2 was due to there being 100 members in a clan.

Agreed

i dont think you need merges

I think it should be implemented, at a later point, so in a low priority. In at least 4 months anyway.

Clan merges in this size is not about bringing the members of two clans together. Its about keeping your total energy.

Say in 4 months time, if your in a dead clan, with like 2-3 players still active but you have 400k total energy (100k per month), wouldn't you want the option of being able to merge and keep ur total energy? Even if your energy gets a penalty its better than nada.

Its low priority, anything less than a quarter of a year of total energy is not something you need to aim to preserve, but somewhere aroudn that time I would like to see it implemented.

only need for a merge so far would be for keeping the energy when transferring members

It will be useful feature someday, not today, not tomorrow of course. So, in my opinion, Ender should make a note on this as a low priority thing.

Exactly what I meant :)

Oh, didn't read your post :D

I'd prefer an increase in clan size first.

I just don't think merges are viable with the current size restrictions.

yeah thats what i was trying to say, theres no point in having merges for clans when they can only have 20 people, obviously if the clan sizes were increased to say 50 then it would be a reasonable idea to impliment merges.

Of course clans need to be increased in size, but transferring or trying to retain total energy in itself is enough reason that clan merges should be implemented regarding of clan size.

yes Ender, this would be nice with the following possibility: allow merges only at season monthly end.. so the members from two clans that would like to merge, wont lose energy or lose only half of it .. etc.

Personally, I don't think we need it.

On the other hand, there may be less (1) and (2) member clans.

man i remember some crazzy merges back in the old days lol was just reminiscing haha
