Once again. They are all equal at t=0. Then everyone starts competeing and every age, the same kingdoms end up on top. It is not a question of who has the most talented, skilled players.

You propose gimping the most talented and skilled players so that your nublet war KD's can war on "equal footing" which as you can see from Korp's posts, is ambiguous at best. He is interpreting it that everyone has to be equal skill whereas you are positing a fantasy world where everyone is constantly at exactly the same point at any given time "t" throughout the age and we can rack up war after war always starting with the same resources etc.

The game is not about individual engagements. The game is about managing resources over the entire arc of time from t=0 until t=ending tick. Your desire to have constant resets so that your nubness can meet a given kingdom at a specific equivalent set of resources ignores the desires of kingdoms to pursue different strategies by race sleectiong, personality selection, acre distribution, etc etc.

In short, you don't want to play utopia. You want to play some other game.

Go play that.
