Well, I had no intention for war with Deep Ones either - I could win on land with my sacreds, but I would need to make a horde of water-breathing items to actually invade you. Of course, I gained access to water mages just in case

- but this is what I meant by completely different interests above!
On the other hand, it was a pity that I had met nobody else at all - I was planning to either invade someone or entrench some turns before... Having all southern landmass to myself was actually pretty depressing - even if I'd won, it would be mainly due to luck of placement...
