Clearly the saying "Dead men tell no tales" doesn't work as well as we'd hoped, haharr. But dead ye are and bitter too, Ulmish spirits. Begone! We've no time for ye.
---------------------------------
People could have attacked me during my conquest of ulm, but they wouldn't have done so well for themselves as they have. Avernum was a threat, Sylvania was expanding into Spain - everyone had plenty to gain by placing their attention elsewhere. True, they gained less than me, but then they risked less too, attacking indies or gangpiling avernum.
You were just the victim of a powerful early game economy and our sailing ability.
The main thing you could have done, as far as I can see, would be to kick the hell out of my first couple of armies that crossed over. Faced with big casualties for no real gain I'd have given up and gone on to deal with more indies. But you didn't really have the early game strength to do that. In the first few battles I lost more than you, but you lost enough that I knew I'd win given a bit more time.
