'Gang-bang' war is pretty much a way of life on the Colonies. Lukon aside, it's happened to everybody at some point. Being taken to the brink by lots of realms doesn't always mean death like on other continents. The last time Giblot got hit this hard it was after a rebellion that pissed off the powers that be in Lukon. Yet eventually Giblot kissed and made up and ended up taking Outer Tilog's capital for a silly length of time.
I think that's why I am so surprised. I can't decide whether Lukon is simply too powerful now she has three cities at her back or whether this is just woeful incompetence/stagnation at the worst possible time on Giblot's part. I mean, in the non-too distant past I was back in Giblot too and I had a similarly underwhelming experience.
