Most and least valuable crowns

[Korp]

Did you even consider other explanations for this "relation"? For example, that as Rage got weaker, Absalom's power dwindled? Or that Rage and Absalom's powers depended both on the same variable: a few key leaders that stopped playing?

So Rage nor Absalom could handle few key players quitting? Albeit being such great alliances and "strongest warring kd in Utopia". Whats more likely is that since more people quit resulted in fewer Absalom kingdoms, fewer Absalom kingdoms meaning there was no dominant position, no dominant position to powerplay less success.
