Maybe you're not complaining, maybe you're doing something worse.
Fight to the end? The best you can do? With all allowable weapons? It looks normal and legitimate to me. Win or leave the land burned! I understand you and you have my support. (moral - no troops on the ground )
But... if I lose I'll leave... Sorry, it seems like the worst blackmail. You managed to lose my support.Losing is part of the game - no one likes to lose but it is part of it!
Damoria is a dynamic game, I hope it changes so that it gives the players the possibility that their empire does not fall for various bullies.
I have my head very high.
I have not been a bully with any player.
There each one in his conscience.
