umm and what happens if you`ve attacked someone and wiped them out and taken three planets? then decide now the borders are gone i should attack them again and take their c1 or c2 or even c3 which their borders have been protecting, the whole point of dp is to give you this fall back and allow you time to explore or attack your way to new borders, so you dont lose colonies that you want, if you did have said artifact then it would drastically chamge the game
