How do you handle idle players?

Have you ever played a game where there are 1 or 2 people who sit and wait for the others to kill each other off and then when the last guy who did most of the fighting is broke and has exhausted all his defenses, these people come in and take his capital city and basically win the game without lifting a finger?

I don't know about you, but this seems to be the greatest non-strategy strategy ever. I personally call it the 'Vulture Strategy' or the 'Death & Taxes Strategy' because you are literally picking at the carcass of a dead opponent, and you collect on the winner's SP without having to exert any effort into it whatsoever.

In any case, I'd reckon these types would remain prevalent; laughing their way to the bank without so much as a slight bump on the wrist. Thanks for reading, time for a drink.

Enjoy the drink

Honestly this is why I prefer worldgames over any other type of games. It is a good way to practise multiplefront-fights, it is hard ofcourse, but it will really train you how to fight these kind of players and you'd develop overall good skills.

This is why I hate playing Europe 5k FFA games. There's always that one person who just fights neutrals in a corner whilst the higher ranks get gangbanged and then that camper becomes too strong for anyone to stop.
