Are we paying more for less?

It could be finding you with scouts. I'm seeing a lot of AI scouts wandering my provinces.

It's almost like a grudge thing. Oceania insisted on declaring war on me every other turn (I was Ulm) despite not being able to see me (and since they were surrounded by Ry'leh I don't see how they could get to me). The occaisional war declaration came in from Sauromantia, but they were next to me.Oceania were eventually crushed by Ry'leh, without ever actually taking action against me.

Mind you, Ry'leh never declared war and spent an inordinate amount of time trying to dream kill my prophet.
