Yep, ain't nothing wrong with that in my book (I used to GM for years in RL).

Frank. You don't know a thing of what happened and make an oppinion. Just should not.

If I have diplomatic messages going on and my neighbour don't answer them I just assumed he was hostile. The fact that he remembered me and old pact after the attack (wich I am not aware but it´s probably true) made me stop the advance to give him a turn to regroup.

Ganging on a weaker nation is disgusting and I see myself as a balancing factor, and balance is what I like of a game. Otherwise is plain boring.

I could attack him at the beggining of the game when he looked weak but I didn't to let him anjoy the game. I even discouraged Machaka to attack Abysia like he wanted (shmonk). And he can testify that.

Your words of contrition fall upon deaf ears, oathbreaker. Your fate is sealed and all know how far the nation of Arcoscephale can be trusted. As your lands burn around you and all men know you for false, you should consider that honoring the agreement you made would have cost you a mere three months. Bleat all you will about how weak the children of the Smoldercone are while your legacy turns to ash for you will get no quarter from us and all know that in future turnings of the wheel the words of Baalz can be trusted. I can not imagine any choosing to bed down in friendship with a serpent known to be poisonous regardless that his forked tongue proclaims how fair and balanced his treachery will be. I invite you to test your strength in future turnings when I appear weak, for to come after the fact and claim that my nation exists because of your charity is insulting.

I have gotta say this Atlantian Mafia has made me laugh , its very, very funny. Well done cupido2.

Look what I started (sort of). I can attest to Manuk's comment, my first thought was to go to war against Abysia, but he suggested I not attack Abysia that soon (for various reasons). So I listened to him and started looking at Mictlan instead, like a dummy (slaps forehead "Doh! Coulda had easier prey with Abysia, maybe"). Mictlan must have seen me comin' and launched a pre-emptive attack. Granted, it was not against my capital (as Abysia first claimed, minor mistake there), just an outpost. But still it chewed up my resources. And troops. And my god!

Well, here's to the next round of global warfare (of all remaining nations). Let's see what the next year brings... besides a lot of carnage.

somehow the atlantian mafia is a very strange way to roleplay in a fantasy game, but i have to say that the blizzards in my capital are very annoying, but i got a frost father to join me cause i have a cold dominion, so its not everything bad about it. btw, i hear rumours, that the unrest in the atlantian capital is rising

(...)Whether we are sending our tribute to Atlantis (...)

Now this is a very bad attitude, atlantis is an evil nation, not deserving any kind of support, we of tien chi fought them for a very long time, and now he have to notice, that they are funded by foreign power. I hope no one else has given in to atlantis threats as here is another: "every payment to Atlantis is considered an act of war against Tien Chi".
(too bad there is no way for me to notice who is doing it )

i think that when one of your neighbour is attacked and defeated, or looks like he will be defeated soon you have to take as much of him or else the nation who conquered him will come out too strong and will now threaten you. so its not disgusting, but just a necessary strategic move.

btw. i dont understand, why here is so much controversy about backstabbing, its i tactical move, and you dont just gain from it, as when you break a NAP you become an outlaw and a your other neighbours might start fighting you as a preemptive strike.
