I'm beginning to think I should've listened to my parents about sharing. In my "exploring Conquests" game, I was playing as France. Most of my land was on a peninsula. The chokepoint was held by four Ivories. Spotting them, I knew I wanted to build there, so I beat a settler out of Paris to get it quickly, before the other powers did. In mid-expansion phase, I spotted two German warriors and an archer heading for Lyons, my Zeus spot. Lyons was building Zeus about then. I told Bismark to shove off, and he declared war. This was a phony war. His troops were butchered. I took peace and his bank account.
At the very end of the expansion phase, Bismark tried the sneak attack again, with three archers and two warriors. Same thing happened- I told him to scram, he refused..only this time, I killed all of the archers I could find in his land and took peace, an optional tech, and some gold.
Then, during the medieval era, he started again, sending archers at me. This time I was really annoyed. I had been planning for the eventual take-over of Germany, and had assembled a lovely mongrel force of Knights, Ancient Cavalry, Medieval Infantry, Crusaders, and trebuchets. I started sacking German cities. I noticed the English sending horsemen to Lyons. I couldn't believe this, so I signed England to an MA. That was handy. The English got manhandled by the German army at first, but slowly won. This meant I was under no offensive pressure, and I had won most cities. Then England betrayed me by signing peace five turns before the agreement expired- and then she started sending troops into my territory.
What's with this? I've NEVER had this many sneak attacks against one place before- only one sneak attack against me in the four months I've been playng. Below is the current save. Play a few turns, and I guarantee you that England sneak-attacks.
(The FP in Lyons is a wonder prebuild...I don't dare build that FP until I figure out how it effects the game now)

This is the English army occupying what's left of the German offensive force for me. Good Lizzy.

ed both Germany and England. They were useless until I got police stations, however, due to the fact that I never could built a FP. (Due to fear of corruption)
Well, at least you took care of it!
