Another typical ABS politic is to give very short CFs after they "beat" his competitor so he never get chance for get back in game. Its really lame way to play too. I think many will agree with me but when they are in power spot they prefer effectiveness over challenge. I cant understand bragging about crowns when from long real compete gone. So few kingdoms, quality drop and its all about friendly farming and chart shape.
So you don't think I completely idolize Bart, in my heart I was against razing the ghettos to have all top 10 provinces that age when we were #1 already. To me if we crowned in any way was more than enough given how the age had gone and all. It's for me when Bart's greed showed a little, nobody is perfect. I do support his razing ghettos that steal GC, it's only way to protect yourself, that's where I blame the mechanics and the devs.
