Well, that doesn't really change anything. The fact is that you're not alone and losing the support of those that are supporting you would be a deathblow. Presumably that happens after 2 months of bad performance. Maybe it would be more forgiving if it were 3,4,6,9,12 months, but the game is already incredibly forgiving compared to what it was previously. The steps taken by Dioxine to make the early game more approachable are significant and it looks way more manageable than what it was at the beginning of Ivan's or Meridian's LP (or the beginning of my Piratez experience).
The only thing I could see, if it isn't already done, is to have a pedia article from the beginning, explaining pogroms and how you don't need to go there. With vanilla, showing up decreases the penalty, but since there is no penalty in early XPiratez, that old reflex from vanilla is really bad and it's hard to tell if you don't read it on the forums.
