I'm seriously considering purposely tanking my tier rating to get back into tier 2, down from tier 3. I just played one game in tier three earlier this week, and it's really thrown me off my rhythm. Sure I got four times the experience points, but it's taken me all week to get my troops back up to where they were, and in the mean time I've had two vacant colony slots. Whereas before, in tier 2, I could attack an island, and by the time one island's time is expiring, I've either replaced the troops I've lost, or even have a surplus to work with. Can somebody tell me if I'd be making a big mistake in trying to go back down? It just seems that for the size of my home island at the moment, tier 2 is just more manageable for me to play at.
