I fear that there is no backcountry though.. all other province are near my capitol.. which is steadily producing more skinshifters.. I doubt anyone would find it wise to attack there.. certainly when about 3/4 of my army can SAIL!! back there in 2 turns..
apart from the fact that i have REALLY good contacts with all my neighbours.. well all minus the brutes to the north that is
