I don't know if being too large too fast was the problem.... I think it was not having more diplomatic agreements in place. Generally before I attack someone I like to make sure that either a) All my neighbors except the one I want to attack have a treaty with me or b) my neighbor is diplomatically isolated in that all his neighbors want to kill him.

Unfortunately i seem to be on the receiving end of option B =(

I actually am not sure who started the wars in in with Agartha and Pangaea... I know Helheim and Marverni attacked me without warning, but thats not terribly surprising. C'est la vie.. i'm still having a good time, and fighting some pretty amusing battles.
