Except some of us do ask and get no responses in return. So it's not like we aren't trying...
Then you may be asking the wrong people.
Personally, I never answered to you because the only things I know are what other rulers shared publicly. Daimons have rarely been around our parts, and when they have they were mostly moving through, but we always had rogues and random stuff prop us to keep us busy. And since we are so small, we don't really have an army of advies to organize. The main reason why were weren't very involved, however, is that communication is atrocious. Allied demands come in late, or contradictory, or rely too much on a single axis of communication. Most of the comes from Riombara, Enweil barely sends anything even if they are the ones targeted. And since I'm no longer studying, I have very limited opportunities to try to go fetch the information myself. I make sure to relay everything I get to the rest of my realm, but I see no reason to go beg far-off realms for info (my character's too proud for it anyways). And besides, I have an empire to build!
However, I must say that I have *never* seen the game so buggy as it has been this last month or so. It is often outright unplayable. Everything seems broken. Messages were screwed up for multiple days, food is all whacky and being replaced by a system that most people don't understand, and estates are still half-baked. Everything seems broken about it. Taxes still don't come in gold when in duchy, some still can't pick up estates, founders of new religions don't lose their regions, lords can't step down from their regions, nobles still show as knights of other realms, takeovers not working or half-working at best, etc., etc. The game feels like a mess right now. And I suspect that many others are like me: if the game can't let you play or do something specific when you log on, then odds are you won't be able to do it that turn even if it gets fixed. Fixes seem to lag seriously behind, though.
While I appreciate all the hard work and good intentions going into the changes, I feel like I'm figthing the game more than an invasion right now. And even if we had 100 000 CS of daimons in all of our regions, I'd probably feel the same. Every day, we are facing bugs, and having to either wait (forever) hoping it gets fixed, or try to find alternatives.
This drains a lot of time that would otherwise go to RP and information seeking and sharing.
