I don't know if this has been suggested or not, or what people will think about this idea.. But what the heck I'm going to post it anyway.
What if in order to make the individual faction wars a little more interesting, and one faction beating another actually mean something. The winning faction takes a portion of the losing factions points for that battle? It could be all, half, some portion of the total score difference.
I just think there needs to be something for winning each battle to spice things up.
What do you think?
