Well SA itself is not boring. Just theocracies are. You can always expect to have many players in good realms Boring ones just lose nobles one by one. By wiping one or two theocracies, everyone can benefit More room to breathe and more nobles for everyone \o/
Yes and no.
If it were merely a question of killing a theocracy, that's one thing.
But the groups wanting to kill the theocracy in question are also those who want to see weak elders replaced by national delegations, with no authority over secular politics.
So it's a question of a war for those who favor an interesting, developed, involved game religion vs. those who favor a disengaged, local-flavor, powerless religion. Which is a classic medieval struggle, and fine, except that most players naturally drift into the anti-religious camp simply because we're moderns and that's how we think.
