But what for? If it was VP caps then sure, they'd be easy to grab and worth going after. You had bitter fights there, there was no need to intervene and get stuck in the mud too :P
My goal was to play for fun, winning was not most important. And fighting tough opponents is fun - Lanka would hae won, have I not helped Sauro. There was no time for attacking small weak players
I even did not attack Vanheim in the beginning, when my army was right next to his cap.
