As in - "Suffer little economists to come unto me"?

Horses threaten DEITIANS, and in particular have said, "We can take deitihorsie whenever we wish..."

Therefore, DEITIANS build "Great Wall of deiborda"

Nasty horsies kept out

Even their stinking camels...

The fortified border showing Horse incursions over the agreed border: agreed around 500BC.

It is clearly seen in this pic:

That is not the agreed border and you know it.

[DrSpike]

You mean you didn't actually agree a border in that one hour marathon diplomacy session?

The the real border of course is as per Horsies and my troop deployments. I lost out there. He quickly fortified with horses (what else!) so I moved to secure what I could...

Horse mentioned a co-ordinate (which is where deiborda is) and said everything from there to the NE is for me.

"From King Horsie (1650 B.C.): okay deity I'll do 40, if you go further west than...."

So way back then I got the impression that East was fine but then he builds 'grate deity' on a mountain and says that he'll take deitihorsie whenever he wants to...

The agreed border is marked by the red line. deity and I agreed that he would have everything east of longitude 56 and everything north of latitude 40. The vertical red line is long 56 and the horizontal red line is lat 40. This agreement was witnessed by all and gave a very clear, workable border.

Then he built "deiborder" right in the corner of the border at 56,40 - with 75% of its potential area on my side of the border. That was the first provocation. Then he spent most of the last session building forts on my side of the boder and violating the border with diplos. He currently has 3 forts and a diplo on my side of the border, as you can see in the screenshot.

Its disappointing really because we had a fair border, giving him the whole river and allowing him to build a large city on it. But that wasn't enough for him.

The rest of deity's line on this is just his usual pack of red herrings and nonsense. How much more clear can a border be than a latitude/longitude line?

And then the parrot wonders why he is a pariah player.
