Well I don't think I want to say much more what I've already said at least not publicly. Costs are minimal and there is also quite a bit of logic in strengthening my peaceful land border with the Natives and go against nation that can only reach me via sea especially when I really need to be sea power in this map to have any chance.
I actually would have preferred that Natives wouldn't have attacked way back. That would have kept Mackoti and Sevenspirits strong to fight against top contenders. However I think Natives have weakened them too much to become serious contender anymore so I might as well join the pile.
