I'm tired about the charges against me.

I proposed a NAP, but you demanded a province and complained about my army defending the province. I said I would not give you the province but would move away my army when/if you agreed to a NAP.

I didn't demand. I respectfully requested that you cede it to me, as it bordered my capital. I also indicated that your having troops there made me nervous.

When you said no, I asked if I could trade you something for it. You didn't even bother to decline bartering. You just threatened (as you admitted above).

There was no reason you needed an army there. Neither of us are playing aquatic factions. Without help from land armies, our naval forces would be no major threat to each other. Nevertheless, you built up your army every turn, forcing me to keep my army in the fort when it could have been useful elsewhere. Didn't the London blitz teach you that you can't bully someone into submission?

In your shoes I would have withdrawn the army as soon as I realised it was annoying you. It would be simple courtesy, especially since I was no threat to you. If we'd agreed to a NAP and then I invaded your sea region, then I'd show myself a liar, and achieve nothing special by it. We'd just start a pointless naval arms race, which any REAL sea faction would laugh at, wasting our gold in the process.

Only reason I could see why he did not want to sign a NAP was that he was going to attack so I reinforced the province. This made Ubercat very upset and he sent an insulting message, at that point I put on the lid and decided to attack him.

And you have now seen with your own eyes that I only built 40 Shamblers, just as I said. Not much of a force to capture your whole ocean and then take your capital. I wouldn't have built them at all, except that I had an inland seazone to grab. As for insulting you, I believe I questioned your knowlege of human nature, in reference to your attempts to bully me into a NAP. Was there something else I said?

I did send four scouts into your capital to whip up some unrest. You found them all and I have looked at all four battles and your mages did not use any gems.

I saw some gems missing from some of my casters. Not a great deal, but noticable.

I will have to thank Edi for standing up and defending me and seeing through the complaints of Ubercat.
