Changing countries and leaving the Rook nest empty has also crossed my mind.
But then what would we have?
Knights would still go after the weakest country (0 Rooks would make it a sure target) and Bishops would go after the Knights because there are no Rooks. So, we could end up with a huge dog chasing it's tail scenario!
Zygote, I know it sucks...it happens quite often due to the large squads that feel the need to jump from country to country each tour.
And since they are self fulfilling, they leave the rest of us in the lerch and think it's OK.
Kinda sucks!
