nope I abduct back getting 3-4 and that self same province abduct for another 1 insted of finding a 3-4 abduct elsewhere, or their kingdom fellor tries wasting both my time and military because a lot of players can't do basic target selection.

Getting 0 on the first try that province will not bother me again even if I retal. I've had players getting back for another 1 abduct after a day or two because we did not retal their first hit and they barely got 1 in the first try, this is why the ability to overprotect your science matters a lot, you can't teach those people that they could have gotten 5-6 scientists with better target selection, but now they wasted time and are down 1 or 2 with the likely senario that they could be retaliated a second time and be down some more.

Playing in a 5 man kingdom a lot of people try to target us because they think they are not getting retaliated even when we clearly can, so looking scarry is not really possible.
