It's temporary. Your scales will return to your chosen values over time. As if your dominion had just taken over a province.

Not crippling, but it can really hurt the early game.

I will never again play a MP game with the following players:

darkchampion3d
konming
coobe

Abandoning a game without finding a replacement is really inconsiderate. Not only does it waste everyone's time, it ruins the game's diplomatic landscape since the AI is so damn stupid.

Of these 3, konming earns the bad-sportsmanship trophy. Disappearing because you're losing is on par with "I'm taking my ball and going home." I will never play against that crybaby again.

Ok, both should be played by the AI from next turn on.

cleveland, take it easy, it happens quite often and could happen for a wide range of reasons. Some people have a history, though, granted. But there are good examples, too - LoloMo gets a gold medal for always taking his turns in time.

hey guys hows it going? popping by to check...

Has Pythium's hydras finally fallen? In hindsight perhaps we should have used the blessing fix for them. How is Man doing?

Yeah, I was thinking about using some fixes, but I strictly said "no mods" in the beginning to not complicate the game for beginners, so I stuck to it. Pythium is almost gone completely. Jomon seems too nice a position to be set to AI right now, but it's better than having them stale any longer.

I do not know the position of your troops shard. If you told me tactics I dont remember them. Yet I know more about the territory than I perhaps should (I remember where the azure academy was). But if there is any way I can balance the fairness of the game I will do it.

Please allow me to clarify.

I understand if you can't play anymore, just post a notice so that a sub can be found. No big deal.

But disappearing without telling anyone (while still actively posting on the forums) is both inconsiderate and disrespectful. Disappearing because you're losing is vindictive and pathetic; I for one won't waste any more of my time on such players.
