Probably not any more.  I sort of lost interest when it seemed that
there was nothing more to be gained by it, or at least, nothing that I
particularly wanted.  There's no question, as I've said before, that
Olympia favors the attacker over the defender in many ways.  But the
fact that attacking is more favorable for the attacker than the
defender, doesn't change the fact that it's not particularly good for
the attacker.

Of course you can gain in some cases, if you find the right target.  But
a faction can make itself basically attack-proof by oathing all of its
nobles, and a few other simple steps.  This doesn't make it attack-
proof in the sense that it can't be hurt by an attack, but it can
prevent an attacker from gaining anything of much value.
