I agree with Sparhawk122. The more I have played this game, the more it has become apparent that Plarium is not a serious actor in the gaming market but appear to be fraudulent.
In the Swedish market I could have bought a descent car for the amounts of money I have spent on this game, and my base, techs and troops are still not even fully developed.
Then, as then Marshall of CXR, I get to see Flash ESPM or Flash XPEH or Ceo of Plarium, which ever title you prefer to reference him by, single handedly and with a single hit take down BS65 that we were holding with some 40 mil in it. Other alliances have since then experienced similar happenings involving the very same Russian and when I have seen Plariums corresponding condescending way of not dealing with this in any meaningful manner, I have almost quit the game. Many marshalls and players of other alliances have quit because if this.
This is only a GAME! You shouldn't have to mortgage your house as a non-russian player in order to be able to play it. And you should be able to play it on level, fair terms with fair play against all your opponents, regardless of nationality. Anything less than that is a dishonest if not criminal device marketed by Plarium in this manner for as long as it continues to profit thereby.
