I know it used to happen if the attacking country was very low population, but I don't think that this is the case here...

I COULD BE MISTAKEN, BUT I BELIEVE THAT DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF THE RESET, MINIMUM RETURNS ARE REDUCED NOW.

(WE LEARNED THIS THE HARD WAY LAST RESET)

so that only effects suiciders when they've already pretty much leveled a country (no suiciders will try to kill a country this early)

but when alliances try to kill them, it takes even longer

GREAT SUCCESS~~~~~~~

within the first 1000 turns, there is a graduated system for minimum returns. it has been in place for a while. i believe it was put into place to discourage oop wars a few months ago or so.

dumb dumb dumb

I like it

i was puzzeled by this also... seems to give untags an edge.... but this is the alliance server, no?

It's also a nerf to OOP/early set FS.
