Anything interesting happening?

They make the changes, we break them. Actioning this is a completely new, terrible precedence. Just because it's happened to a kingdom that is not yours doesn't mean it won't happen to your kingdom in the future. You may think that you have come up with a really slick strategy, but instead of being rewarded, it might not really be a valid strategy according to the utopia police.

The difference between "really slick" and abuse seems obvious here it. When you're intentionally pushing the boundaries trying to get ahead you should be aware that you might push too far and end up getting burned.

- More military released than what was aided (military paid for with real cash).

That depends on when that military was trained as any resources gained after your abuse is tainted by said action, so if they had that military before your cheating happened then yes it would have been fair to let you keep it, but anything and everything trained after the abuse happened is tainted and should be removed.

- Still negative TB on the provs that got aided

Why should that have been changed? it's a reasonable part of the punishment.

- Total of 7 provs taken out of a war for a measly 8k soldiers

Well if it was 7 provs that participated(either by receiving the spoils or sending them) cheated then that seems reasonable. The punishment for cheating is supposed to be draconian, it's part of the deterrence.

- Loss of 2 reset credits purchased with real money that weren't used how we wanted them to be used. (This should be refunded).

No it shouldn't, you cheated and as a result you were actioned, thats standard in any game. If you cheat and get banned you can't demand to have your game refunded because you can no longer play it, regardless of wether it costs $0.02 or $80.
