yes and this was a problem in CK, sometimes getting together such an alliance is overkill and ruins balance, made worse by the fact that the player sjoining should know better and themselves shouldn't join.
So you are retracting, then, your allegations that the coalition is engaged in an illegal, game-destroying attack on China? Because presumably, if you're able to win - by whatever means - the war must in fact be a game-enhancing activity, as is anything that makes China Grow Larger. Or do you maintain that China should not have to stoop to actual diplomacy, and that the rest of us are obliged to only attack you in such numbers as you can readily defeat on your own, without - horrors - having to convince someone to help you?
Much as I believe this war is unfair, there were numerous simple ways out of it.
The first and foremost one you cited yourself. Germany and Prussia on the homefront could have taken advantage of France being distracted and waged war on it during the coalition against you, which would have made France more readily willing to sign peace with you and focus there, thus weakening the coalition that much more. However, instead of discuss peacably with these two nations before you decided to go jingoistic, you just hoped they would think that before the war began - or, worse, and as evidence points to, after the fact.
Another option would have been to discuss with Japan and Indonesia the Indian question - with your eastern flank somewhat secured you'd have a much easier time making it against Georgia and co., and slowly begun to push into and even gain India for yourself and your allies.
The fact is that, ingame, you could have turned this powermongering on both sides into a very large advantage of your own through enough diplomacy from Day 1. Instead, you were either overconfident or naive. Possibly both.
This is not a lesson that diplomacy is insufficient for this MP game, merely that it is underutilized.
As your not in my position and in no position to see what efforts I may have done your not in a position to lecture me, I HAD discussed very much in length the questions revolving Japan and ensuring diplomatically I could get a 1v1, at worst 1v2 Japan & France, nearly everyone lied. All the diplomacy in the world does no good if they lie to your face.
Well, you'll note I've got some MW too.
Its your implied job as a SUB to do your best for the nation you are controlling and I only asked you once to transfer provinces, after that I gave your over 100,000$ to help Tibet but all under the assumption you were subbing and eventually it would be reabsorbed. You dont get synpthathy for wanting to play it seriously because its your job description to play it seriously by default. Only casual players dont play seriously.
I would point out that Tibet being at war with you is an excellent opportunity to reabsorb it.
And I notice you never answered my previous question to you. I guess that means you have no answer?

Blayne, you're the last one to accuse someone for dishonesty.
