So Caelum, the angels of air, have been accused of lying. Allow me to tell you our story. And then you can decide who is right. Aezeal, you tell us if you consider any of this a lie.
I met Ermor when their forces reached my border, around turn 4 or 5. I expressed a desire for peace. I said I needed a couple of provinces that were currently neutral, that were closer to me then him, so that we could have a border agreement. He then asked for a couple of provinces that were very near my capital. He was expanding very quickly. At this point in the negotiations, he took the last neutral that gave me access to the north. And I found another nation who's capital blocked off my only other path of expansion.
I told Ermor that I needed to expand a certain direction. I told him I didn't even need to take his new territory, that he could point me to a neutral territory beyond his land, and I would fly there. He refused this as well. I told him exactly how many provinces I had access to if I got every neutral available to me, 14. The average land nation on this map should get 17. He already had that many, and access to many more. He told me we should gang up on the other nation blocking my path. A nation smaller than either of us. I considered this dishonorable, and refused. I took several of the remaining border neutrals. He then sent me a message telling me he was going to take one of the two provinces from my original terms.
At this point, I attacked him. As he said, I attacked him in four places. I didn't send him a message telling him I was going to attack him. But I never accepted his demands for peace, he never accepted most of my demands, he asked me to attack another peaceful nation, and he revoked the only thing we agreed to. So unless you think I should have warned him before I invaded, I can't see how you could say I was in the wrong.
