This is becoming a very unfunny joke. InnoGames MUST address the competitive imbalance of it's neighborhoods or risk losing thousands of players when they realize they can't compete with players 4 and 5 ages ahead of them and lose all their goods daily.
Here is a screen shot of my neighborhood. You'll notice the #1 player has over 184,000 points and #2 has a whopping 12,036. Almost every other member of this neighborhood is at Iron Age level. Now help me understand how this is fair? Industrial age armies fighting Iron age armies? Really? You're killing your own game Inno. I see no reason to play the game if I get knocked three steps back for every one I take going forward. In another neighborhood in P world I had four neighbors in the Progressive era while I was in EMA. I can't babysit my goods 24/7 so I just stopped producing hoping the neighborhood would change. Here is it 10 weeks later and they're still there. I've had to quit playing in that world and won't continue until they are gone.
Please do something about this flaw in your game.

How about the game developer make the damn game fair? I like that plan.
