For those people worried about expansion, Event 3 is already in the planning stage and it will almost certainly actively encourage expansion.

Far from my mind from calling a stop to Event #2, though I feel responsible for the whole ****load coming our way...

Though I could deal with Randolph and a half stack... A full stack is truly a nightmarish sight...

wait a minute...

We're in danger of losing Hypatos Hypatios!?!

Then the event must be called off!

I was counting on that title providing me years of entertainment.

It sounds like I need to pull out my KotR monologue on gaming philosophy.

I remember a long and detailed post in which I expounded on the virtues of "struggle" and the feeling of "accomplishment" rather than settle for the easy route of total domination and meta gaming.

Should I go find that and give it another shot?

Bah! Young wippersnappers, complaining about a single full-stack. Back in my day, I faced half-stacks of triple-silver and triple-gold chevron enemies. And the only reward for beating them was the knowledge that another one was going to take it's place next term! Kids today...

wait till there is full-scale PvP battles. Humans are much more of a challenge than the stupid AI...

Given the MAD nature of PvP battles you'd have to be bonkers to start one without a landslide position in effect. Hell, can you imagine how much damage one of the KotR top tier General's would have done, knowing he had no chance except to inflict as many casualties as possible...oh man.

Yeah, I've messed with some SS 4.1 battles and it's pretty incredible how jedi-like our bodyguards are, significantly more so than in vanilla. Spearmen are horrible against them. I don't see us having too much trouble with these rebels beyond the next turn or two.

In fact I'll wager that the rebel bodyguards cause more casualties on their own than all the rest of their troops put together. Find a way to deal with them and you've got the V. I have a feeling the pace of things will pick back up in a hurry afterward, especially since we have to put together some big armies in order to put down the rebels. We aren't going to absorb huge losses, and those troops are going to have to do something after the rebellion is smashed...
