Trouble start immediately when Phlegra goes ai immediately upon being attacked by Machaka. I don't know why he bitched out like that considering Phlegra is still alive in game to this turn and thriving somewhat. This fucks me up considerably since Machaka would likely cap him and eat me very soon.
If you played Xib you would notice that the cave where i had that fort was relatively unclaimed. That's because my only expansion path through the cave bar the throne was blocked by Bogus and his goons spawning immediately just 2 turns after i took that province and wiped my army. If not for that i would have had a much stronger position underground and possibly took it with impunity.
I paid a handsome amount for an amphibian merc company and took some water provinces next to me. Then Ys came along and be like, all water is mine and just hit me out of nowhere. Bitch, you only need coastal provinces why the fuck are you taking indefensible land? And in the end he didn't build a single fort underwater there so i could just retake all of it with a few geared Hashmals.
