DIPLOMACY... which you seem unable to grasp, is the art of dealing with people in such a way as to secure a favorable outcome for yourself. This is a key component of this game. Sounds like you ju ...[text shortened]... u go so far as to call KW a cheat because he's better at it than you. Get a clue, would you?
BS modding. I don't know why we're moving around military units; according to Princess DimWit we should just agree which one of us is the "rad coolest" and they win! Maybe Oprah could interview us all and Doctor Phil could give valuable tips on wargaming. Mod this too; I know it will hurt the sensitive feelings of the KW's and Suziannes of the world and we would hate to go over the LCD here.

You missed a spot

Check the NE of the map - Lith took a province from Novy.

Amazing that a nation can be "dominant" without winning a single battle or, until last turn, taking a single province from another realm.
He took Istria a few rounds ago, remember? Didn't hold it though.

Yes, that was "dominating" the way he lost an entire 700+ CS army including 3 Siege machines.

He won the battle and conquered territory despite your claims to the contrary. In addition, you had more HP.

Gee, what did happen to that victorious army?

Not really - a person could well make up their own mind about who they are interested in talking to. Before my exclusion from the Napoelonic game was confirmed, I had a definite 'hitlist' of people I wanted to engage in conversation. If others had contacted me, whether or not I responded would have largely depended on if I had the time AFTER I had dealt with my priority people.

EDIT: This isn't to discount some of your other points. You're perfectly entitled to view behaviour as suspicious (or alternatively, incompetent) and act accordingly. How other people respond to that is their lookout.

Quite frankly my dear Aragon, the sheets are stiff, the room is cold and the food is bland. What's more, one of your serving wenches actually refused me this morning! Impudent wretch! I demand you have her disciplined.

Well, when one first arrived, they intimated that one was to have the Empress suite. The Empress suite!? Does one look like an Empress? One nearly had one's men gut your chief servant for his bolsh, but fortunately one is a forgiving man. One believes that the King's Wing was made available, though one fears that the term 'king', in the Basque country, means no more than minor acquaintance.

The problem is that the staff adhere to the old religion and are constantly trying to inconvenience free-thinkers such as yourself, not to mention servants of Chaos like me. I never stay in the palace myself--I have a double put up with the pomp and skive off to a nice little speak-easy in the Barrio Gotica. Anyhow--I give you carte blanche to discipline the staff as much as you please. If you can contrive to abuse a priest in the process, so much the better.

Ahh, your hospitality knows no bounds my friend. Shall have my men burn a few monasteries whilst the are here? They do bore so easily and it will keep them occupied.

Kindly don't burn them, they are a good source of tax however silly their beliefs. Then there are the pilgrims to consider. Chaos isn't all about blood-drenched altars and weird chanting, you know. If your men are bored, why not have them put on an impromptu pantomime? Some of my most ferocious warriors are transvestites. Nothing strikes terror into the heart of the enemy so much as the sight of pink skirts fluttering atop a heaving destrier!
