You outnumber your opponent 3 to 1. In my opinion your opponent was at a huge disadvantage already and was unlikely to ever be able to out equip you. His only recourse was employing outside "trackers"

To me, there is too much disparity in your pop size. If this mechanic were to ever change, there needs to be something that the "disadvantaged" player can employ to level the playing field.

not to mention that someon would have to be on and tracking at all times over a period that could well strech a week. now that's a BIG investment of energy for a diplo attack

Only after diplo reinforcment are implemented.

Except for the newer people who will now be unable to defend themselves at all from thieving by larger players with loads of thieves/other diplos whho like th hit newbies Just Because they can (there will always be ppl like this) and this update now basically removes the risk element to this action completely. I estimate tht the rate of new players quitting the game will increase by 50% because of this, while it might also cause newer players not to leave the game as quickly.
