I dont want early CN, where EZI was rampant, people crying and bawling over nukes, etc.
CN is a dead game, dead for a reason. This game thrives, that tells you something.
CN is boring as hell, last war I fought was in January of this year, and it lasted a round.
PnW has much better politics then wherever CN has ended up.
Though I would not mind early CN politics (minus the "outrage" over a nuke), I do slightly agree with you there about politics, it is much more multifaceted (atleast in the earlygame) this has nothing to do with your suggestion. Stop Red Herring in an attempt to justify your sorry excuse of a suggestion.
Your suggestion really only encourages people to defensively hug eachother and devolve the game into Bipolar world.
A state PnW was recently in, and i am sure does not want to go back to.
CN was until one side became triumphant and no one cared to keep the game alive anymore by signing treaties upon treaties with eachother to pixelhug their infra and tech.
Thats what PnW's future looks like with the permanent city destruction, a bipolar world of pixelhuggers.
