I wasnt just statisfied to turning myself to AI, I just abandoned my former god and took a new one. Its weird tough. Atlantis was doing good (and is still doing good for some time). Wonder why the previuos owner left.

For those who dont know yet, Atlantis is no on war against the nation that I think rules the north side, Man. Dont know wich Nations are on the north side too but Man has the most provinces, Dominion, income and unfortunately the biggest army too. So despite the fact that I was in my previous nation a very good ally with Man, I have done something as stupid as this.
Lolomo has already bought the courtesy of our nation. You others need not to do that but I invite you to join me in this dangerous attemp to bring down the far too mighty nation of Man.
But despite of all this its nice to see you back shard.

While I can't fault Aapeli for waging war against me now I was just wondering what is the normal etiquette for this.

As he mentioned, we were good allies beforehand, and now he takes over a nation that is invading mine. This annoys me somewhat, since I can't exactly make him forget what I have told him about my tactics or what he knows of my troop depositions and strategies. You just can't RP that well

Ahem, as for the dangerous nation of Man...
We think the nation of Patala is even more terrifying! Why... Their two major neigbours went 'poof' with nary a sword being drawn, while the glorious nation of Man has gotten to where it is by blood, sweat and steel. Yet honest blood and steel is no match for the terrifying magicks and summons that would soon be unleashed by the empires that have not been touched by pvp turmoil.

That came out of nowhere!

Yes, Arco and Jomon are falling. Arco was peaceful, and Jomon was an ally. Now I find myself fighting off unexpected attacks from them. There has been a lot of very rough fighting. It's not like fighting a normal AI. The troops were all bought by players, with lots of mages, and intelligent research. Plus, I haven't even been taking advantage of it. I have 4 of Arco's lands. That's all. Friendly relations depend on balance. I've taken effort to make sure my neighbors have reasonable numbers of provinces. Man hasn't, so it's not really surprising that there is more war in the north.

My advice to you is to give away a large chunk of your territory to your smaller neighbors, Caelum and Atlantis. Perhaps then you would be right that I am the biggest threat. Until then, they really have little choice but to defend themselves against the giant with a history of engulfing the little guys. Try to look at it from the perspective of others.

I do not know the position of your troops shard. If you told me tactics I dont remember them. Yet I know more about the territory than I perhaps should (I remember where the azure academy was). But if there is any way I can balance the fairness of the game I will do it.

Are we going to have a brake during holidays. On monday we are off to the countryside to spend a hilarious christmas with no computers around that have dom in them.
So I can send my last turn on tuesday 23th. We should be back on sunday 30th so that us ok for me to get back on the game. So if you could stop the timers for christmas it would be cool but if not I shall find a sub.

I also support taking a break. Although I probably will have access and could take a turn, I have no objection to putting the game on hold.

I'll turn off the game timer in a few days. Then you can play your turns when/if you find the time for it, otherwise the game would be on hold. I'll reactivate the game timer around the 2nd of January at the latest.

I'm getting married today and going on my honeymoon. I've advertised for a sub on the forums without success.

My apologies, I hope you can find someone to fill my place.

A Happy New Year to you and Congratulations!

The game timer will be restarted in less than 24 hours, as announced before.
