Currently, I am the 5th most "powerful" empire in the normal server. I have expended hundreds of millions of credits and hundreds of turns on a massive base spam in an attempt to beat my enslavement by Bentussi, who is permanently on vacation mode and locked in at 2-3 mil pr. However, I still am not 10x powerful than him, and now I am out of credits and resources. I`m sure other people are stuck in a similar situation.
I feel like this means that it is time to reform the VM system or enslavement system. Change the 10x to 5x or 3x. Alter the VM rules so you cannot keep slave empires while in VM. Something, because my only options are essentially battle arranging to free myself from enslavement (a tactic that is questionable according to the rules) or restarting. I hope others feel the same as I do and will let the mods know in this thread.
I hope I don`t come off as a griping newbie here, I just find this terribly irritating.
