Also with early battles it is small armies so you couldnt just overwhelm his troops so you would be suffering casualties. Also it would be disastrous if he was building his castle walls faster than you could take it down. Would of been an interesting war but you made a lot of interesting points to not war. I did something similar against Abysia(nation I had early war with). He attacked my capital but did not suspect me to have moved their with troops on move then patrol so he got my army and my pd all at once. Also I had started putting spies in all his provinces and then worked my way back taking over his land until I got to his capital.
