so i'm a new player, only fourth game now, in the first two i existed day 3-4 and now i play two new day 12 each.
i'm doing quite well with lots of provinces and cities under my control but with one problem.
in one of the games (im playing serbia with a coalition of me france and coratia)
we have faced a big enemy sweden which seems to be a gold user
all 3 of us opened war on him but until now we lose 3 fronts and lost large portions of our armies in a war that started this morning
because 3 main reasons:
1.he got loads of units even he fought more than us and had way more loses than we had
2.his units are extremly advanced he got all of the units in the armored slot already unlocked and in use,some are even upgraded rank 3, helicopters, air superiority planes, rank 4 and 3 motorized and mechanized infantry in large numbers some officers naval units i cant identify and i bet i haven't seen everything
3.all the important units that we damage (planes and helicopters mostly) get healed instantly so they are always there killing our units

i remind you this is only day twelve some of his technologies in use got unlocked on this day or the day before and all of this is happening
and i ask you,
is this fair?

i know he is using gold so he does have an advantage but by looking at the situation i sense this is something beyond some minor advantages and more a "pay to win" type of thing
