Leo it's not a flaw in CLI, it's how it's supposed to work. You have flawed logic, that's fine you just don't understand.
Do you think your scenario is not currently possible? It's actually a lot easier without CLI.
With CLI, the feeder kingdoms have to get rid of their troops, or keep no troops - which presents a big problem with them continuing to be viable feeders. They have to send out their troops to be an easy hit for the fed kingdom, which opens them up to getting retaled outside the group, further diminishing their KS for the 50% needed. So then what? They disband all their troops, get fed on, rebuild their troops hoping tirelessly to keep their KS up to the 50% level? So 5 players are going to sacrifice their entire round just to help 1 guy get in the top30 and hope he can stay there? Hilarious.
You're actually arguing to help people be able to feed a player to a top spot. Now I'm thinking you're part of an alliance that feeds players to the top and abuses pre-re to win, and you're scared of having to actually play the game fairly.
