Does others from top 5 tribes has same settings like rest of us ? I think so
You need to stop blaming game,settings,luck and all other factors and ask yourself what is real reason your OP failed . Its you and your lazy a** that did not sent enough fakes
Lets now talk about our barb nobling in general (include yours ofc)
Once OPs fail its really common to see barb nobling , mostly your cluster , there is many reasons for that (sufficient of nobles ,need to secure cluster,get few more villas for easy toop make etc) and its all part of a game and should not be bringed on table , at least according to me ...these barbs need to pay full price for failed OPs , its bean that way since begging of this game
Lets all just dont forget how this war started in first place , when our leaders refused to join Batan's "satanic" plans of pushing trough south where he asked for every D troop up on north to planned front lines on south after which he decided to drop current NAP and make us pay for not following his plan
