I've been looking at the way Orbi uses guilds for a while - and it does seem very popular. The only thing that's put me off guilds so far is that in BtS the cost of having them used to outweigh the benefit so I developed a natural dislike.

That was pre-3.17 however (the last time I played BtS) and I believe they rebalanced some things. Likewise, we can rebalance them how we like anyway, so there's no reason not to consider it.

Okay, I don't remember the corporations not being worth the cost at all... My memory of it (playing single player as i always do) was stretching to get the needed great people and hoping that the AI wouldn't beat me to the gold/silver/gems corp.

While on the subject, I find that the increased number of resources in Orbi leads to more trade, more important city sites and so on. I see no real negative effects...... At least not on the "huge" maps I'm used to.

.... Perhaps silver circle could be the first guild of FF?
