Of course. We wanted to fight, but stick to our treaties (unlike the North).

So we looked south for conflict. Makes sense to me, and Carelia was pretty much out of the war at that point.
Which was a violation of your treaty. Coria was treaty-bound to NOT interfere in the war. Sending troops south under such a flimsy excuse (visiting family or some such) was a violation of your treaty. However yous pin it, that act broke the treaty.

If you want to rejoin the war with Coria, you should have just neutralized the treaty between Estona nd Coria and attacked us straight on. Actually you should have neutralized the war with Darka and Talerium as well and just opened up a huge front.
Both of which were impossible. Neither Eston nor Coria were going to to break their treaty. Neither were Darka or Talerium.

IMNSHO, the turning point of the war *should* have been the destruction of Coria. We were poised to do it, when Eston gave the entire NA the finger, and signed that damned treaty. Eston would have looked mighty nice with another monster duchy, and Hammarpeeps with another duchy of their own.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
