well, there will be no restarts for players who foolishly took misfortune.
In the Big Game last year the player for LA Agartha, who shall remain nameless, took 3 misf and had knights attack his capital on turn 3 or so. And it was a bit humorous on turn 20 or so after my 1st war was over and I expanded south to come across a capital just sitting there, with one or 2 provinces near it, and a group of knights residing on top of said player's capital.
"How unfortunate!" thought I.
I think the small nations of the world should post "giant" sightings" as they observe them.
