Dante you do know btw that both Lapallanch and myself play in Oligarch right ;-)
It's possible that Oligarch is a special case, I don't know. What I do know is that as long as cities can't be starved and you can recruit so much militia while still making gold, the wars get rather rediculous. Agreed, Sirion is sucking a lot atm, no argument there. Also the 30k militia is/was not the limit of Oligarch, I can go farther than that.
