So, I was just streaming GoW on twitch, and I realized that Suncrest gives less tribute than Pridelands. Now I might be missing something, but look at the numbers here and tell me:
My Pridelands: 1 blue star rating
Tribute amount= 200 gold, 8 glory, 24 souls
My suncrest: 3 gold star rating
Tribute amount= 200 gold, 8 glory, 16 souls
Suncrest has a weaker tribute than other kingdoms?
If you break down the tribute for every single kingdom down to its ratio for each resource, it comes out to Pridelands having the highest of any kingdom.
It is why there is really only 2 viable home kingdoms: Whitehelm (for glory) and Pridelands (for variety).
Whitehelm is still better overall though due to glory being much more valuable than the souls and gold.
