Sure, UnO. you contacted us two days later... while we were signing the deal (actually, were waiting for RP to sign the deal). And if we didn't responded immediately to you, it was a mistake of ours, and surely not the intention to be impolite
But their abortive Bobian adventure, coupled with the Luxian affair, kinda freaked us out. We couldn't figure out what they were thinking. We became skeptical about the value of a combined GS-Vox adventure. Immortals + WCs sounds kinda cool in theory, but in practice?
We were sure we were dead when they landed, frankly. We could have fought them, eventually, but didn't have any units in place along that coast at the time. Likely weren't much better militarily than GS at that point.

That's the other part I couldn't figure out. I couldn't figure out why they caved. EDIT: to clarify - I didn't understand going through the effort of putting together then landing force, complete with settler (settlers still being a pretty big deal at that time), and then leave w/o a fight. There was some compensation involved, IIRC, for Port Isolation, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
I guess the threat of war with all three Bobian civs did it, but at the time the only real military threat would have been ND. You guys had a couple of horsemen, RP was too far away.

Which part of the "Just Kidding" were you not able to translate?
Does it make you feel better if I say, that I was kidding as well? If yes, it's case closed now. If no, I don't see why your "just kidding" would change anything.

Im with you there. Didn't understand at the time myself. Perhaps they WANTED to go after you more to begin with?

I don't think they intended to hit us all along. I guess the Bobian adventure was a probe - to see how you guys would respond. The response was vehement (in words, anyway), and so they backed off, and picked an easier target.

Fine then let their be a feud between us. Whenever one my kin sees one of your kin blood with flow!

Sir Ralph was practically bouncing off the walls, begging us to build something resembling a military... right up to Vox's attack.
I can't believe you hadn't been building a military. We were absolutely convinced you had been stockpiling for an Archer Rush of some kind and were waiting for it to hit for the most part of the game.
Nope, we were paper thin. I think I've said it before: when Vox attacked us, we had approximately 4-5 WCs, some warriors (most regular), and some spearmen.
We had some serious discussions with Vox, and came away convinced that we could go down the peaceful road with them. I think we might have helped convince ourselves, because that's what many of us wanted.
We can read the map as well as anyone else, and all signs said "GS and Vox will come to blows." Small continent, ancient age UUs... it was almost predestined. So in a way, I think some of us liked the idea of avoiding that destiny, and doing something else.

That's exactly what we saw. "GS and Vox will come to blows"
When Republic came and went and you didn't it was "Oh hell, they are in bed with each other". Or, worse yet, "Vox is a slave to GS".
