if only the top X players (score-wise) were accounted for in a battle, when deciding who gets the ownership, wouldn't that be an even better approach?

That's how this will work.

We're looking to address this as well by rewarding specific actions, instead of all methods of raw experience gain as it does currently. We'll release more details when i...
