This is only the second game I've played with you Jazzepi, so I can't make a statement like "you complain too much" but you have groused quite a lot in both of them.

In Neo you are allied with Teutanion against me. You two attacked me simultaneously, attempting to carve me up quickly. It hasn't really worked out yet, but we'll see. I told people at the time I didn't think it was a very sound strategy for Teutanion (perhaps I'm wrong) but I didn't complain about it, it's fair enough. I then allied with Sylvania to fight you - that also seemed fair enough to me. Prior to your campaign against me, I had you pegged as the second most powerful nation in the game.

In this game the graphs told everyone you had a clear lead, which you're right, resulted in people going after you. It also didn't help that you're in the middle of the map. Contrary to what you said, you /were/ running away with provinces before being attacked, considering that you were also putting resources into research. Anyone close to you in provinces had done far less research. I also remember your army graph riding pretty high for a while. I'm not knocking you for doing well in the early game, it's what I'd have done if I were able (I'm a low skill player basically).

The only thing that annoys me is that you're complaining about things you could easily have mentioned before the game started. If you want a game on a bigger map, go for it. If you want the graphs turned off, mention it. If you want to ban diplomacy or make sure you aren't in the middle of the map, you could have suggested that too.

Anyway, don't give up yet, Ulm Reborn hasn't and they're arguably in a worse position.
