Yeah 10k seemed like a pittance to me as well, but I'm not the sort of person who gives in to intimidation, so...
I got from him about 8 tech levels initially, then he capped those back with all his attacks yesterday and today. He lost more soldiers/tanks than I did in the battles, even though he won them, probably around 1500 soldiers and 100 tanks or so. 10k wouldn't even be enough to replace his troop losses, tank losses, the 4 cruise missiles he shot at me, etc.
Ah well, ended well enough
