Sure, it's a major component, but there are a few things to consider; but first, what defines a clan? What defines whether it's good or not?
Some key components include: - Military capability - Community (internal and external) - Longevity (otherwise the top 5 list would be filled with just hype clans and would constantly change) - Member success and activity (this includes place traffic - because if no one visits their base are doesn't want to raid them, what's the point?)
I keep seeing ¨Top 5 clans¨ and then list a few clans purely off of their military capabilities, some from simply the past week. Clans still need to be an established part of the community, with a working internal structure, and not an all-over-the-place conglomeration of friends and RCLers who know each other. A clan cannot be a clan - at least, not a functional and established one - without having all of these aspects to some sort of degree. A clan cannot be a clan with simply military strength and nothing else.
Just wanted to give an extra perspective on things. |

Agreed.
CONEX could probably beat WIJ easy, But WIJ is a stable and long term clan
So WIJ>
It makes more sense. |

| If people want to make a top clan list based purely off of military skill, please specify that when writing so. |

Sure, but NFC fills 25 player servers with patrols as well. By place traffic I mean how frequently people raid you, although patrols are good as well. And the raiding has certainly gone down.
But FC is a good clan nonetheless - although it doesn't exactly have a stellar external community (as in how it communicates publicly). |

| Power Clans dont live long, atleast a maximum of 9 Months then dead. Thats the difference with Super Clans, you cant have pure quality in this game. But WIJ is in between, it is a true induring clan. |

| it's not really fair to judge a clan based on people not raiding because they know they'd lose |

@belmont
we actually do get a decent amount of raiders every now and then because some people enjoy raiding fw
sometimes theyre like 10k tryhard groups or weaker superclans trying their luck occasional hype clan on top of that

it doesn't need to, all that matters is that it has a good internal community and the people who are in the clan like the clan. |

That's not the point, the point is that if FC is a purely offensive threat since no one decides to raid them (it's because of the unorthodox weaponry, obviously), there's not really much point. Very few clans bother to raid FC, most of them clans that don't know what they're doing. The difference is in the weaponry since it's isolated solely to FC. Another clan can do the same with having their own set of unique weaponry, but if no one raids them since the weapons are too alien for them, war will be very, very boring.
I don't have anything against unique weaponry, it just has its pros and cons along with everything else. |

| I'd join in the discussion about FC, but it just so happens that I don't understand their group at all. The last time I've made contact with anyone high up in the group, it was with JJ and a couple of other HR's who were busy with FC's logo to different blocks of colours, |

@assasin
People on the forums are continuously getting less interested in FC because of their inexplicably hostile relations with - well, almost everyone else. People in FC may not care, and the internal community may be great, but because of its highly isolationist policies in fields such as this, more often than not, people connected with C&G are consistently tuned out by FC's actions. |

fc steps out of its bow comfort zone and wars gun and sword clans alike, yet no other clan can do the same? All any clan needs to do is raid us constantly if they want to get good.
we actually get raided more often than you think, but it doesn't matter. i seriously hate the argument "you have bows nobody knows how to use them, you're bad" or "your clan is worse in some aspect because you are different"
I just don't understand why you think judging a clan on something they can't control is ok |
