The territory helps to limit the number of attacks that a user may be getting. For example, It took me 6 months to build my camp and someone just woke up one morning and wiped away all my fighters within and hours. How about that.
I think the upgrade is still not fully helpful to such case for those that has more powers are still looking for smaller people like me to Savage.
Did I got what you wanted to see
