Fourth Campaign: Stage 2

Up to this campaign first day always had landings anywhere on the map. First in stage 1 of this campaign it gave a big advantage to bids. If the same is true for stage 2 and if you can bid on enclaves, it will be even bigger problem.Since the enclaves give you the points immediately and don't even require holding.  Would it be too much of a problem to just change the first day of the stage? To either: - landings anywhere on the map  or - bids disabled --------------------------------------------- As I wrote I see 3 problems with bids:   - it was unknown until the start of the campaign that using influence will have such big effect so clans didn't prepare for that. In safari influence had close to no use. - they do have huge impact on results, so suddenly campaign is not only about how well you do during campaign, but also how much influence you grind beforehand - small clans who want to "try" CW and aim to get a reward are at a disadvantage. Even if they play very well a big/old mediocre/bad clan which just grinded a lot of influence will beat them easily in the rankings for top 50. Clan with lot of influence can also go directly to battle with owner which gives more points, so it will also beat them easily on player-rankings.
