i didnt say that i like inf hoarding but as i pointed out in 2003 compared to now the game was diffrent in a few ways 1 more members therefor more larger nations 2 more competition both on individual and on nation basis. 3 people actually used diplomacy in a more proper way there where diffrent retal policys and such.
now the only way to change the way it works now is to make it unsafe to run unbalanced
