As I say, I can accept some growing pains, but I still see this as encouraging gang-bangs where several kingdoms try to jump another kingdom early in hopes of getting them before they establish a sanctuary and taking all their pop centers in one turn. I cannot imagine a rule that is more likely to encourage gang-bangs, actually. At the very minimum, I would suggest that this sanctuary rule should NOT be a sole action for the king or if it absolutely HAS to be, let it come in the order que before #150.
With regard to elimination- In game 300 it was previously explained in the thread that elimination was part of the playtest.
That does not apply to other games.
The thread above dates 3/20 to the official announcement of "Sanctuary".
The player in question was eliminated on 3/16. To apply for a sanctuary it would have been nice if the the new order announcement should have occurred on 3/10. Possibly announced somewhere on the turn report for players that might have missed it on the forum.
Not a huge issue to me as I was not impacted. I just wanted to explain the timeline on behalf of players who are not as active on the forum.
