So I was just wondering, never really had any interaction with the Top Tier and been in a Kingdom that has finished top 25-30 in all areas for the last few ages.

Is there enough up there for the Top Kingdoms to keep busy? Is there any way to balance the power more so that the same Kingdoms/players don't always Crown every age.

Just Curious, as it seems there is a top tier and then the rest mentality. Sometime I read stuff which makes it sounds like the Top Tier aren't even bothered about the rest of the Kingdoms or Provinces? Is it even fun playing like that?>
