The issue of using a PW status to create an army has come up time and time again in the last few days.

As I understand it, troops are generated based on the amount of time people spend in the land. PW's who spend hours in Avalon generate the same number of city troops per hour as fighters.

Surely the easiest way to help balance the system would be to change that one simple fact.

If PW's did not generate troops then huge military machines would not be created. However the fact that pacifists work to generate their comms would help to create the fortifications.

To be over simplistic - a city like Thakria would generate many more troops, but the the lack of people willing to harvest and mine would reduce the amount of money for fortifications.

Springdale would have much less troops but more money to spend on forts.

The balance would be one of offence vs. defence.

Just a thought...
