Back on track I'm looking to have the mechanics of a retal changed so that a country hitting other countries cannot abuse or utilize a small side war with another player to take advantage of other countries around them.

However if this is truly how the game was meant to be played then allow me to step right up and AB a players for 1 or two turns, so they can guerrilla strike me for 40 or so turns right before going on a land grabbing spree. Meanwhile I will sit back laughing at the community for not quite understanding this is how they are supposed to be playing the game.

just let me know so I can adjust my game play accordingly!!
