You were also harping on Atlantis a while back, and has been amply seen, they have plenty of other ... fish to fry. Had I taken Ministra (as I did Imictan) I would have had yet *another* war I didn't want and been in even worse position to deal with.

Totally untrue. I did not, in fact, harp about Atlantis. Charon was the one who mentioned Atlantis, briefly, which I would hardly call harping on it. I explicitly stated not to do anything to antagonize them, and that the independent provinces in question should be taken only if an opportunity presented itself, such as if Atlantis shuffled off and left the place open, as their generally large coastal presence already meant they could attack anywhere at any time, and as an aquatic race, you weren't in a position to do anything about it. I believe we were in agreement on the issue at the time.

I still, however, assert that given that I had been harping about the impending Ulmish situation for a goodly 6 turns, you could have done SOMETHING in that time. You did, after all, have your wyrm sit unproductively and unsuccessfully sieging the Fort Man for a goodly 4+ months. Surely that was enough time for a quick stopover.

However, what's done is done. Attacking Arnbeg and closing off that tiresome point of exposure is definitely a sound move.
