That's probably true, and I hope he does decide to pick it up again. I don't really mind being arbitrarily reduced in power for the sake of balance if Edena thinks that's necessary, though it seems that I am currently at war with an alliance of greater or equal to my own power. I do think that in the long run consistency and logic are very important to make the game a little less random and I think we need some rules for what is possible to do so that future nerfing of factions won't be necessary.
