The Kingdom of Kalinga would like to remind New Tibet and the rest of the world that Ivoia was the aggressor in our war.
Ivoian City States' Foreign Minister: Lies! Lies and slander!
Ivoia made a bid for claims of neutral lands, much like anyone else. It was
The Kingdom of Kalinga who started the war, choosing to attack our claims on neutral lands rather than making claims on the ample surrounding neutral territories from which it could have chosen. Right from the start,
The Kingdom of Kalinga has been the aggressor, looting and pillaging our homelands and our people. We demand justice!
New Tibet: Be calm, my friend. We urge you to back down.
Ivoian City States' Foreign Minister: We will not back down! Those lands were stolen from us! Either they can be returned peacefully or we will meet
The Kingdom of Kalinga on the battlefields.
New Tibet: Are you certain about your claims? It appears that
The Kingdom of Kalinga is saying that you were the aggressor. Our reign is relatively new to the game, so we want to be certain... do you have any proof?
Ivoian City States' Foreign Minister: Proof? PROOF? You want proof? Fine, you shall have your proof!
Step 1: Ivoia makes a peaceful claim on neutral lands
Step 2: Kalinga makes the first overt thread of war in the game. Rather than peacefully expanding into many of the adjacent neutral lands,
Kalinga already had decided who has a right to claim neutral lands and who does not, by stating that
Kalinga has a right to do so while another does not.
Step 3: Kalinga follows-up by launching the first attack in the game, against Ivoia.
Step 4: Not really a step: Note that Ivory does not counter-attack on the same turn.
Sorry, who is the aggressor here?
New Tibet: Okay, okay, you have made your case quite clear. It does appear that
The Kingdom of Kalinga's version of events does not match with reality.
