📊 Should You Aim for Gold Division in CoP Warm-Up?

Overview: Deciding whether to push for the Gold division during the Clash of Provinces (CoP) warm-up week in Rise of Castles depends on your state’s overall strategy, strength, and long-term goals.

🏅 Benefits of Higher Divisions (Gold)

• Better Rewards: Higher divisions offer greater reward chests and better loot.
• Challenging Competition: You’ll be matched with more powerful, experienced states.

🤔 Strategic Considerations

• State Strength: New or underdeveloped states may struggle in Gold and suffer more losses.
• Rewards vs. Losses: Consider if the potential rewards outweigh the difficulty of fighting stronger opponents.
• Intentional Losing: Some states may choose to lose the warm-up on purpose to stay in Silver and secure easier wins and rewards afterward.
• Player Activity: Active and coordinated states can climb divisions by winning each week, making Gold a viable target for well-organized teams.

⚖️ Final Thoughts

If your state is strong and ready to compete against higher-tier opponents, aiming for Gold can lead to high rewards and satisfying challenges. But if your state is still developing, staying in Silver may offer more consistent victories and a more manageable growth curve in the following weeks.
