Not as much fun

Maybe it's because I've only been playing for two months, but the merge made the game much less fun. Hunts yield little to nothing, there's no where to move cities to where everyone isn't slaughtering each other over crop oasis, overall I just leave feeling frustrated over the ever slowing progress I'm making.
I loved this game before it was merged! It was harder to find people with troops in their city, sure, but at least I knew a 26 hour hunt would yield more than a few thousand money.
Any other thoughts?

move your cities out of the cluster to the opposite side of the map youll get good hunts, not many people will try to crop you and you can warp cities into the main cluster in ordder to attack

Also If don't want to use coins to move all your cities you could try hunting in Lvl 2-4 oasis(I don't know if you already do) most people like to hunt in Level 7-9 so its likey that no one has hunted there.

I just had a merge and this worked for me.

I would do wht Nathan said about movin ur cities, but most people includin me dont want to spend coins to warp, so jus move to an area that has lots of oasis, isnt to crowded but has some people at least
