@SoggyShorts: You mentioned why would anyone want to put kp's into the AW of a player they haven't yet 'discovered' on the world map?
Well, I did just that for a good while on my Khelonnar city, as a way to get a 'head start' on obtaining some rune shards for certain AW's. (ie: I'm only about 3/4's of the way through the Ch.5 tech tree, but I've now collected 8x Dwarven Bulwark + 8x Mountain Halls relics as 'help' rewards)
Most of them came as my way of helping/repaying another player who routinely gives me a lot of help by picking up my trades & donating coins to my main hall... As they're located on my 7th ring, it was always going to take me a good while to 'discover' their city properly, but I wanted to give them back some form of help for all the help they've given me.
Likewise, I've invested in other players' AW's like the Crystal Lighthouse/Bellspire to build up a few of those runeshards so that by the time I unlocked them in the tech tree, I had enough already saved up so that I could get 4-5 of the runes activated right away!
I wouldn't call it 'pushing' in either direction honestly, just that I chose to slow down my own progress a bit, so I could get right into the big reward pay-off as soon as I unlock those AW's!
(and because my luck is beyond horribad, and the only relics I ever seem to get from clearing provinces/tournament rounds are stupid, useless, gakky, ToS/GA shards!! "No - bad RNG - I already have 70 GA shards, I don't need another 3 this tournament!!" )
