A single point of PD would also have eaten my scout.

Yeah, but I assumed I didn't need PD that turn because the Hero was there.

You always need a single point of PD, even if you plan on letting enemies conquer the province :D
I mean, the only reason causing me not to point a PD point in a province is if it prevents me from recruiting a new mage :)

Might as well get into the habit of getting PD1 as soon as you take a province. Your plans rarely rely on that 1 gold. Otherwise you end up occasionally forgetting it and people will take advantage of that. I guess the only situation where you wouldn't want PD1 is if you fully expect enemy to take a province next turn and you don't care to know what force composition & script they used.

Personally I'm a fan of knowing stuff so I always get PD1.

I normally do that, but out of my 4 games this is the one I spend the least time in.

I mean, I'm being attacked by THREE people, at least two of which had been planning to attack me since more than 7 or 8 turns before my own attack (which is why I took the offensive move to begin with). I'm not going to give up by any means, but I'm not going to spend much time dwelling on a game where my loss has been predetermined.

I had merely been part of a defensive alliance proposed by others. Also, I'm complaining that my free fortress from an event drains resources from a province in my cap circle.

If it's any consolation, Hatman, EA T'ien Ch'i doesn't have resource intensive cap only sacreds. The only consequence (unless you went heavy sloth) is that you get less regular troops from your cap. But that's offset by the fact that you get regular troops from an additional free fort, and then there's the extra mage recruitment. Definitely a win-win for you I'd say.

It was more a deliberately entitled joke, that even when I get a free fortress for doing nothing I find an excuse to complain. And sloth isn't my favourite source of points, though it has far and away the best description of any scale.

You parked a large force on our border for a significant length of time, and when they finally moved away there was no fort. The only reasonable assumption I can make is that you were setting up for an invasion, since large armies on the border tends to make a player nervous and/or aggressive.

And Niefelheim had already taken several of my territories; I was fine with the one next to his cap since I had no idea that it was Cap-adjacent when I took it, but he took 3 additional provinces and only stopped at my temples because it would've been a full declaration of war. I was anything but surprised that he came back to take more from me.

While hundreds of troops suddenly lining up on your borders don't always mean war, it's probably a safe bet to assume that it'll mean war.

I for one think that arena "tournament" was hilarious.

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule
