ok Nicker, I just got no clue what you are talking about. This game is always like this. If you play Grepolis, you by default will have no RL. You can either play grepolis that way or just get rimmed. Sorry mate, not insulting or anything, its just the truth of CQ servers. You can always swap cities with your team mates who is more active and have more fire-power.
About Balkans, yes, it's just sad. We have given so much effort in this world, did so many things. Won the most difficult wars in this world. Kicked three most prominent world contenders from their throne by invading inside their kingdom. All of that went to nothing.
I love OCEAN VETERANS too. They took me in, in one of the past servers where everyone left me. They believed me in days when no one could believe me. I could never act against such an alliance and specially against Missus and Hippo... My friendship with them goes beyond this server and beyond alliance. So I thought, it's best for me to move away when our folks decided to test themselves against OV. It was a bad move for Balkans for sure. I always view OV and Balkans as combined winner of this server in my time here, but well.
I love Balkans here, I am one of them still. It's just sad how things turned out here for us. I wish this never happened and I wish that this last war would have been against some other alliance than OV.
