And...you're not #1 anymore (in provinces)...and the new #1 nation is kind of preachy...

Well, with this many nations ganging at once, there is not much I can offer that they cannot simply grab for themselves. As for allies, even if every nation not attacking me and currently submitting turns joined my side, it would still be an uneven fight (and the chances of that are nil anyway).

Not that I'm complaining, doomed struggles against impossible odds are the things poignant epics are made of. And 'Chronicles of a Doomed Empire' is certainly a catchy yarn title...

On another note, having units that are actually characters really adds some spice to the game. It makes battles so much more interesting when they barely escape death/don't.
