[Cainehill]

'scuse me, but I think you were the person who should have attempted "negotiations" - I made it clear that I wasn't going to ally with you when you'd just taken provinces from me. Did you negotiate "You can have those provinces back" or anything? Errr... No.

And frankly, to some extent I didn't care if Boron wins - I wasn't going to win, in part due to you, but also because I took Carrion Wood scales and left the Carrion out of the Woods. So, being the vengeful type, my attitude was that Boron (at the time) hadn't given me injury or offense - you had. So guess who I'm interested in going after?

If I had even a slim chance of winning, I'd have played with more of a mind towards keeping Boron from winning. But as I didn't, revenge was the only goal I could reasonably pursue with some expectation of success.

Understand now?

If you want to try to beat Ermor instead of simply continuing to try and maul me, fine : get off my fortress without storming, and we can see whether or not 3 nations all with strong anti-Ermor capabilities can push him back.

Otherwise, well - doesn't really matter that much to me one way or the other, as I've been playing this out to do some experimentation (and because I didn't care to go AI just because I screwed up with my pretender design).
