Sometimes I wonder why CA even put diplomacy in the game... I mean - everybody's always at war with you, no matter their current situation, and you only have peace on those borders where the adjacent factions haven't really noticed you yet... I try not to use FD, because I tend to get caught up in the 'cheating' part of it. But I'm gonna use it to annihilate Saba now, that is, besiege their capitol, then buy all their other towns and then storm their capitol. This is because I'm tired of having to win perfect victories once every second turn when they attack Bostra. I'm gonna leave Arabia once they're dead, so I'm not even getting any advantage of it.
