Depopulation
One thing I've often wondered about in Dom I (and whether it might be different in II) is the issue of depopulation. I never participated in a long pbem, but I'd expect that by the end, players are fighting over a nearly dead world. There are an awful lot of ways to kill off the local populace when you consider pillaging, Murdering Winter, patrolling for $, Ermor's dominion, etc.
So a question for the vets: did the world start feeling empty towards the end of a long game, and how did you feel about it, if so?
