I'm willing to sneak attack if I don't have a NAP with some and to dogpile someone (though I'll sometimes feel bad about that) but I can't get myself to flat out lie to someone in order to manipulate them (especially if it will result in an ally being attacked).

I'm curious, though, if Eriu did attack me would you be less motivated because you would feel it wasn't fair? I don't think you should let that trouble you. While it can be great fun to have an evenly matched fight it can also lead to a stalemate that takes both parties out of contention while other nations are winning easier victories. And of course the trick will be avoiding being the odd man out once the current round of fighting ends and the next dogpile begins.

Yes, scouting is really important. One of the things I like about Pan is their great harpy scouts. The fact that you can quickly get them where needed isn't only good for scouting purposes but in case you need some decoys to absorb, say, mind hunts. And on that note, a harpy scout was felled by a mind hunt last month. Pangaea thought it had made the world safe from this foul magic by eliminating Arco but apparently some nations are still engaging in these dark practices.

Lol. He's cheap enough that I keep him around thinking I may want to use him, though I can't imagine for what. It's got to be the easiest merc job ever as he doesn't do anything.
