Ghoul i know how you feel. in my first 4 mp games, i was ganged up on early in 3 of them. one of them included two 3-1 gangbangs. honestly all i can tell you is that i was forced to learn diplomacy. i don't like it much, but you gotta do it.

and also, Marverni has an unfortunate reputation which leads to it getting a disproportional amount of gangs.

I've played a few games with ghoul and (through no particular fault of his own) he's ended up on the wrong end of team gankfests. I was on the giving end of at least 1 of them . So it's easy to understand why he might be upset.

I'm not sure you get to pull the reputation card when one of the 'gankers' is Agartha

I'm just saying, by that logic Yomi should still be alive and I should've been ganked hard.

That was map placement on Yomi, he never had a chance from turn 3. No fault of his own.

What triggered the gang bang is not Marverni's reputation, it is that ghoul attacked me first. Making the first move is like calling "I'm at war now, I'm weaker, hit me", it is true for any nation in any position in this game. Attacking one neighbour should only be done when you have the others secured, be it by force or diplomacy.

Ah, i see Kailasa decided to show me its army. Please attack me, it will be entertaining. At least for me. You might not be so enthused.

This is pretty much true, my main concern was if Marverni managed to completly conquer Tir na Nog, I would have been hemmed in by two nations which had significant size advantages over my empire. Leaving Marverni to conquer TNN would have been suicide from my point of view, intervention was a no brainer.
