I read your discussion about replacement players and i simply can't understand why the people don't like to play replacement spots....

I love to play in replacement spots, because every time you take over an empire you have differente chalenges, because normally the spot you pick is losing in a way or another and you must think hard how to survive....

I love challenges and love to start a game from a losing position and fight "uphill" to a better position, i don't care if i win or lose, the only thing that i care is the "fun factor" and fighting from a losing position is a lot of fun...

Actually i'm playing 4 games, being 3 of that replacement spots that i picked up... In 2 i managed to better the position i take over and in the other i'm going "downhill", but, like a friend used to say: "screaming and kicking all the way down".

Just my two cents.
