Well, it is not really Tien Chi's or Caelum's fault that during the last 3 of our war neither Helheim not Ulm have fought a single real battle with either me or my ally, as far as I can tell. Instead both Ulm and Helheim have prefered to surrender their provinces without a fight.
In all 3 turns of war the only more or less serious battle I had was with Ulm which happened this turn, and even that was quite disappointing, since most of his troops apparently sneaked away.
Tien Chi generals think that all this is a clever and devious plan by Helheim Empire to appear less powerful than they really are. The main question that is being discussed by the nobles of Tien Chi in the evening saloons is how far Helheim is willing to go in their bid to appear as an underdog?
P.S. Seriously I am not sure why in 3 turns of this great war neither of our adversaries offered any resistance. I can't believe that small Vanheim could possibly tie down the great military of Helheim Empire. The fact that the above military conquered the capital of Vanheim last turn while losing only one heldroit is the further testament that something is not right there.
I am sure Helheim is up to something. I wish I knew for sure what they are planning. But I think I can make a good guess that... <censored>
