Twice now, I've had different players within 60 seconds of the game starting have almost double my size whilst I did my best to keep up.

I tracked the numbers in an excel spreadsheet and analyzed the numbers while copying their EXACT moments of expansions during the first 15-20 seconds of the game and saw that somehow, they would always have roughly 15%-20% more strength than me. This would occur regardless if we expanded at the same time with the same strength, etc.

Worst example yet, had a guy have over 450,000 troop count while we both expanded at similar rates while I had barely 60,000. And he was bigger.

Yeahhhhh ok not even perfect play comes close to having someone having nearly 7X your numbers when you are both expanding at the same rate.

This game went from the most exciting thing ever to one of the worst abandoned games Ive ever seen.

EDIT: Lol just got a DM, Sure guy. My excel spreadsheet is wrong, I'm just salty, your right it's completely possible to have 7 times the numbers as your opponent same size within first two minutes of the game, sure of course
