We addressed this issue at the time, and there were several other factors at play, including comical tax rates, a lack of courtier/diplo work, and a bug that wasn't evident until Aurvandil complained loudly enough. Then it was fixed. Please don't rewrite history when you dredge things up.
Nonsense.
There was nothing wrong with our tax rates they were hardly "comical", as evidenced by the fact we were able to run them perfectly fine for more than a year before the war protests, in fact by Dustoles standards Aurvandil is running very low tax rates, by my old standards, the tax rates of Aurvandil were low.
At the time the north declared war on Aurvandil they had no decent reason to do so. At present time, yes they have reason to declare war, when they first did though there was not. This is simply gaming the system.
They hadn't so much as spoken to Mendicant beforehand, and haven't afterwards either. Poor gaming to just declare war to hope that war protests will beat us, whilst not even bothering to roleplay the war at all. I'm sure that if Aurvandil and Falkirk simply tried to exploit game coding to win wars we'd be up to our necks in complaints about abuses.
