Why do you 'like' this game?

Interesting, rarely used setting (early 20th Century)
Good mix of strategy and management gameplay, but with simple rules
Semi-freeform diplomacy (and backstabbings!)
All of the above
I'm just forum game addict and gotta play'em all

and I need to try and defend against what I can only assume is Western Minar's backstabbing treachery, and after they offered a non-aggression pact, no less.

While they are sitting there to protect against you doing the same thing. I have one province where I can realistically be attacked, and just inside it is a big juicy target.

-edit-

Before I forget, I think a treaty is needed that lets nations send troops against your lands.

Wait, so can you build stuff in a province the same turn you take that province?

As for Aseaheru; Honestly, If I wasn't worried about you? I'd be keeping all my stuff near Catan.

Also, Haspen, why did my army appear in 38 instead of my capital?

It appears so.

I also assume that we can do conditional orders?

Uhhh, blindness. Yeah one army in capital and one in #38.

As rarely as possible though, plz.

Yes, as long as railroad won't get razed in combat. Unprotected provinces don't bear such risk, of course.

Heh. Hence the Wesnoth luck comment.

So many missed 70% hits vs units with ninjitsu training :I

EDIT: Whatever happens, I'm loving how tense it is waiting to see which side the dice roll on.

Hmmm...

Chemical warfare doesn't actually give a boost...it's more random...so I have to wonder what the point of spending all that RP on it is...

Yeah, why would you spend hundreds of RP for something that, on average, doesn't help? Why not a tech that give a large bonus, but can be entirely countered by a "gas mask" tech in the science tree? Or that when used give a malus to both side unless they have the gas mask tech?
