there will always be assholes. the art is to navigate around them. of course there is more ****play in the warring tier, there are more players and more kingdoms that war. as I stated before, we police our own in our own way. kingdoms that can't find wars may want to check their playing practices.Quote:

disclaimer:above statement was not to mean that all whoring kingdoms are cheaters, you know who they are
back to topic, it may not be such a bad thing not to have scientists, is there an option to turn them off?
Oh, good question! But why would you want to?Quote:

It levels the playing field a bit between warring and whoring. There will be less farming of warring kds that win wars big and come out in range of the larger whoring kds.
Indeed and unless my memory completely betrays me this randomness is nothing new to utopia. Each guild used to have a 1 (or 2%) chance of generating a wizard back in the day.Quote:

Before you had a choice of becoming big or not. Now you have no choice, either you get lucky or you wont have near decent sciences.Quote:

Just like if all provinces where put on 100% automatic without any human interaction at all... Following your logic that would be the best balanced game ever, but in fact would be the worst game, as you cease to play.
Yes it's called fort.Quote:

okay I have tried to explain it but it seems i am not successful. so let's try it the other way around.
explain to me what the big kingdoms will do during the time they would usually pump but now don't have to?
They will continue to whore, just like they always did. You think they pumped sci when they had threats?Quote:

how do they refill their pool?
They wait. The pool refills by itself, whether the kingdom is attacking or pumping science, or sitting in Fort. It just keeps on filling up slowly every tick.Quote:

learn something new everyday...so they win land crowns by sitting and waiting for the pool to refill all on its own?Quote:

Well, yes actually. You can't win a land crown if you don't have cows and you can't get cows from attacking, only by exploring. So yes, they do wait around a lot waiting for the explore pool to fill. In the mean time of course, the smaller provinces that can still gain land from attacks random around, while the rest pumped wpa/science/gcpa. Now, once they hit the whore cap (which is when a province can't gain land effectively without risking losing more than they gain) they'll just pump more gcpa/wpa I guess (and maybe make more risky land grabs..?)Quote:
