Talk about trying to alter perceptions (though you are Russian, so kind of comes naturally I would think).
I did a single strike on what was the fattest country on the server. You retaliated with 8 missiles and close to 40 spy attacks. So, yeah, that is by even the most liberal interpretation an overreaction. If you can't see how that is just being a tool, it's all a matter.
It is tourney servers. No allies, no nothing. The only efficient way to gain land is grabbing, so there is no way to play an "aggressive" strat, whatever that's supposed to mean. I hit about 10 people on the server and not a single one retaliated, they do what's natural, pay it forward, just like I did last set.
And this is actually only my second time playing this game in over 20 years, so yeah, not hiding behind anything.
