I totally agree with doncorazon. I have no problem with losing wars, but enemy should prove that he deserves it. I prefer VP games, with VPs at caps, and taking caps can be really really tough job [I still remember that battle in Alexandria
], especially with nice spells researched. Recently I got a sub position for a nation and got into 1:3 war, situation was very good, pretty much lose and go AI after few turns, but as I didn't want to give any free lands I decided to try and fight. After over 10 turns one enemy signed peace and remaining 2 cannot make decisive blows.
