Yeah it does slow down a good bit sadly. Mostly been using the nearby economy, and diplomacy to keep my self occupied in it. But I’m slowly losing interest as well. ---

Just got a message from a dude I’ve been pillaging a lot: “Why do you insist on attacking me? I’m on a separate island with little in the way of profitable gain. simply out of curiosity I wish to know what spawned your animosity.” Was going to ignore it, but decided to borrow a page from Sureshot’s book: "Everyone needs an enemy. I’m yours.
