With both sides on literally no peasants and 2 million ish troops across, and one kd on aggressive and the other on normal, the aggressive factor on wages will almost assuredly mean BB's stock runs out faster. And that was the case, they were on aggressive and burning a lot of gc, and their core had to resort to robbing on our selective core which had poorer tpa defense to sustain wages.

They sent their sapphire at roughly the same time when their core was depleted on gold in order to rob us (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, BB). And that also resulted in the skewed gc distribution on our core (the well defended were not targetted for robs). Nothing to do with econ as you mentioned, simply just tpa/wpa.

We were able to narrow the gold deficit when we had a 1 way sapp drake on them and at one point had more gold than them. After BB swapped in sapphire to even the tpa/wpa field, BB was able to rob our selective core which already had its WT efficiency crumbled due to low BE, and our tpa is lower due to their sage sciences.
thanks for the detailed insight! id say, calling 'not having gc to pay wages due to inferior tpa/wpa' either econ or mods is just semantics anyway, good luck making your way out of the difficult situation..
