You definitely did. I've seen you win at least 2 rather big battles, and loose one more while inflicting serious casualties. No way the AI would have come anywhere near that.

Maybe, but I'm clearly not the big fish people are concerned with in my opinion. The territory I eat is near to useless to me once gotten.
My general feeling is that people will let this play out as I'm sure nobody else wants to be the one to take out a water nation. Its much more costly then a land war.
By the way, sorry for the hold up. I didn't realise I had to send in another turn after I got killed. First time knocked out of a game, but am sure it won't be my last. .
