What exactly is the penalty for having max Kingdoms, if they were converted to LVL 50 Prestige, without needing to interact with the global population requirement and you now get all the bonuses that come with being now LVL 50?

Again this is a discussion that’s already happened, so trying to understand what is different or if it’s the same topic going in circles.

Cos again, if you upgraded your kingdoms, you got all the benefits for having those kingdoms upgrades and the bonuses that came with it. Whereas if you sat on your resources, you didn’t, and then they were converted.

Also, I keep seeing a comparison to the 9.1 levelling system, which was two different systems, with various requirements. When 9.2 has one system, and the only requirement is xp and kingdom population and no one is considering the new requirement for population in all these discussions.

So even if you compared your progress before to the resources now etc, before you never had to worry about population levels as again, these are two different systems.  
Progress in one is not equal to the progress in the other, except for us trying to convert you to level that has the same bonuses.
