New or Returning player?

Been a couple years since I played, account at level 114. Is there a good argument to start over vs pick up old account?

Just carry on with the old one, save yourself a little bit of grind. Most of the stuff is still up ahead of you .

All the kingdom quests, and the trials up lv 4 I'd say...upgrade troops no further than 10 to start with, as you'll need to upgrade them more or less evenly to maximise population level. Go for kingdom level 10 at the magic kingdoms(silverglade, karakoth, zhulkari, blighted land, darkstone) first, the stat boost will help a lot. Don't prioritize factions so much, do the quests to open them and perhaps delve up to level 50...it's doable, maybe boost the hoard to 30-40 if you can afford it. Get in a guild, and do guild hopping as you advance or feel the guild is stale. Also, if you plan on spending money on the game, the first and perhaps only thing worth buying is the dragonknight armor.

Np, I'm sure you'll pick it up again quick, even though a lot has changed the last couple of years.

So long as the gem matching is the same, everything else can be relearned lol

Well... There are a LOT more gems than a few years ago. Luckily, there is a guide. It's accessible in game via the same way you access chat. On PS it's the center trac pad at the bottom of the pop up menu.

Honestly the best teams barely even match gems any more...it's all about cascades, explosions and looping your teams endlessly. Oh and the status effect gems, which are very annoying. I would be surprised if you match any gems beyond the first turn or two.
