That question seems like its retorical to you. but no not my best farming round. after the 2 week mark i had to immediatley take on Smurfs and the garden equipement fam. After that all went bananas, imo there could have been much more diplomacy in the 2 week no atack time. but fams didnt, thats a lack on their behalve.
i havent seen so much atacking and so less nw difference in a while. you will always have weaker fams, and if they dont do a great deal on diplomacy they get bashed. But a small family can do quiet well, cant remember the fam number but i believe genesis was in it last round. They napped the whole galaxy, and only had 4 active players.
back in the day you also had small fams, but since ya had far more fams and 20 players per fam the actually farming didnt notice to you?
the game had alot of aspects, tri alliances(which was great!) alliance broken and allies changed. that was back stabbing ugleh, but it happend. Ppl lie, cheat and decieve to win. Bashing a smaller player is not nice, but if you cant stick up for your self its gonna be a harsh game for ya.
No stop crying! you cant have your planets back..
