It's pretty blatantly obvious in most cases just by looking at the KD pages who will win! What if there isn't a physical player in the opposing kingdom but I have access to their intel site, plans, and orders?

On another tangent, I see it's against the rules to "create a false identity for the purpose of misleading others." Does this apply to top kingdoms masquerading as ghettos early in the age to bait easy war wins?
