Would this be viewed as malicious, or as deliberately working against my
allegiance, and would I be punished for it and not allowed to transfer pop
centers to my actual DS allies when they needed a new capital? Would I be
allowed to share my vast wealth with the opposing allegiance?I must say, I was enraged when the FP initially made their decision and
forced my hand, but I had a blast playing the nation afterwards. As
mentioned, I do not even feel what the FP did was wrong...again, the rules
systems allow for neutrals to be sweet talked or attacked. I could have
easily been eliminated if my order failed, and decided to quit playing
middle
earth because of the bad experience. Would Harley have stepped in to stop
an
action that could have caused a player to not enjoy the game and never play
Nope -- sounds like ya did the right thing to me -- The
freeps in that game made there bed -- so let them lie in it !!
In game 64 -- which is still going on -- myself who
are playing the Harad and the corsairs player actually came to the rescue of
the Easterling player in that game -- when low and behold on turn 1 the
freeps move on the Easterling -- we (Corsairs and myself) told them attack
him and we shall retaliate by attacking one of you -- of course this meant
the S Gondor -- We didn't say we would join the evil side but would retaliate
on one of our neutral brother being attacked without even your side trying to
convince him to join your cause !! They backed off -- but a few turns later
and with out even telling the freeps which way they where going -- the Duns
and Rhudaur jumped all over the Cardolan and arthedain -- the freeps said Hey
this isn't fair -- but to me at least the Duns and Rhudaur got to decide
which side they wanted to join !!
