I don't know how you are doing but I have a bad feeling.
It seems to me C'tis has an awfully slow expansion rate this game: few provinces because we are surrounded by indie heavy cavalry, no mercenaries till this turn, nobody in the Hall of Fame when guys from Gath have kills in the double digits...
Ok, I follow my plan and I'm better safe than sorry, so I don't worry too much but I was wondering...
That said, the fact that I have only met one neighbor yet makes me think that I'm not the only one experiencing a slow start.

What is the independent toughness level by the way?
