There's a basic design flaw in the game, and that's why things like super ia's and farming become such a problem.

The traditional computer game takes certain path.  You play, you win or you lose, and then you can start the game again and try to do better.  And then you have modern games that have a continuous format where you can always increase in levels.

IC doesn't follow either of these paths, or really any path that I've seen in other games.  In monoply you can stretch out the game for awhile by borrowing money, but eventually you lose.

In IC,  you have a fight, you get beaten up, and then you have to stay around for the rest of the round, with really no hope of winning.  And so we try to implement things to prevent this.  The moral system, the attacking limits, and so on.

I think the real problem is the staying around with no way to win.  I don't mind getting beaten up and then having to try again.  That's what a computer game is.  But when you have to sit around in your own failure, it leaves you feeling bad.  The point of a computer game is to feel good.

The moral system and the illegal alliance rules are an attempt to prevent a person from having to lose and the sit around and wait.  I think that's the wrong direction.  I think instead of preventing us from losing, we should have a way for a player to build up again and fight back into a winning position.

I think allowing ia could be a solution to this.  If we allow 3 small families to team up, then they can take down the big family.

But we need to find a way to prevent the super alliances.

Actually, a better way would be to just allow people to lose, but that's hc and I gather that a lot of players don't like hc.  Personally, I think a better solution would be for all galaxies to be hc.
