With all that you state here and obviously you're so outnumbered and picked on... You could of accepted peace without the apology. You chose to require it, we declined..... Don't pretend you had no options besides
war and your such a victim.. We stated to you clearly we would peace out no problem, but "YOU INSISTED"
on the apology or no peace.
This isn't near as complicated as your book above suggest. We raided you, you defended with suporior force, we attacked your defender's with even more force. When we raided, we offered peace, when we defended our nations from overwhelming force, we wasn't raiding those BW nations, we were "ATTACKING" them not raiding them like the original nations. This same action has taken place over raids, round after round.
I see you are surprised..... This is TE.... If you wanted peace you just had to say so.
Obviously you don't like us, its TE lets war......better then bawwing
