I think Lukon pulling others in to help them is fair enough. For a long, long time Oritolon kept to herself in the south, bickering and squabbling and ignoring the rest of the continent. Even if Lukon has occasionally put the boot into Outer Tilog and the Assassins when it has suited them, they've always maintained links and relations and had some sort of a relationship. Oritolon hasn't. If the war does end up 3vs1 it will be due to a long term weakness and failure on our own part I think. We can't have too many complaints.
But is a 3-on-1 war really "playing with friends"? If you were playing, say, Risk, with 4 friends, would you feel totally fine about getting two of your friends to gang up on the odd-man-out?
Ironically, I was playing Risk last night and got absolutely schooled after two of my opponents formed an alliance against me. What I found myself ruing though is not that they had aligned against me but that I hadn't managed to form an alliance with one of them myself!
