Midgard would be dishonorable if they attacked before the NAP notification ended, I think that is what the Giants are mentioning.

So far Ulm has found every nation we have had dealings with to be honorable, and we have strived to treat all our negotiations as openly as possible. It would be understandable if C'tis were unhappy with our decision to press the war with them after the CF ended, but as explained in our communications with them, we were bound to honor other agreements with other nations.

What is most unfortunate for this game is that Mictlan went AI, which gave Midgard a 2nd area to expand into without any worries about diplomacy, so I'm not sure its really fair to credit them with non militaristic expansion, though they clearly took advantage of the situation better than anyone else was able to.
