Argh... empire pops

[Eldanesh]

Pops just seem to be gettin more and more out of wack.

Beginning of primetime : Pops even, conts reletivly even.

1. TR hit VS TR hit NC VS hit NC
2. 3 poplocked 2-way fights
3. 1 empire finishes first, often NC, they hit next best target

Middle of primetime : Winning empire goes up in pop.

1. Ability to field 3 poplocks allows for 2 offencives while defending all the winning empires locked continents
2. Loser empires get locked in poplocked fights with wachother and are soon only left with the continents they are fighting on.
3. Winning empire crashes one party with the other 1-2 poplocks defending.

End of primetime : Winning empire has signficantly more pop.

1. Loser empires down to 1-2 continents and begin to log off.
2. Winning side, eager to press on, stay online, population becoming more out of wack with empire hoppers.

Late-Night : Empire with highest pop and most locked conts totally rolls over other empires.

Population really tends to be the result of victory, however it creates a snowball effect.

My final point....

By the way, NC did lock the world. I was playing my NC for a lot of the time, but lately I have been doin my part!
I made my tr a a couple days ago to help the wildy unbalenced populations. Also... nerf the reaver.
