You're being way too dramatic guy, No one bullied anything. The fief was agreed to be given to us as far as what we knew and we were prepared to help you move fiefs. Anyone here in Strat that knows about this will tell you that 9/10 times, you surrender, we take you under our wing, and help you set up somewhere else. I offered you defense since you are new and offered you Sumbuja as well as continued trade and assistance. Obviously you are new to strategy if you don't realize this is a very generous offer. But guess we get Ismirala soon anyway.
That's great. It
was a really generous offer. That's why I accepted it the first time. However, the point you seem to be missing is that, in order for us to accept the offer, you need to give us the new fief
before we lose the old one. That is how strategy works in literally every game. The underdogs who surrender before accepting their dues are fools.
And I would also safely say we are some of the most trustworthy guys after giving away 2 cities, and a castle early on in strat to friends of ours.
It's great that you're nice to your friends. I'm also nice to my friends. They know I won't stab them in the back because they're familiar with me. Maybe if you hadn't begun our relationship with a deception and a betrayal, we could treat you like you're trustworthy to new players, too, instead of just your friends.
We're not butthurt at all, and I'm sorry my bold text scared you. We're just letting you know that we tried playing the Strategus Hawk-Dove game as doves, but we realized we're surrounded by hawks, so we're not playing as doves anymore.
(For those of you unfamiliar with terminology above: the
Hawk-Dove game is the basis of
Evolutionary Game Theory.)
