Spulla have made sure to never leave their bottom flank exposed and so even a betrayl by Dantski would just prompt a round of severe whipping, then some severe whipping of his armies. When the knights come on line, that line of attack will be essentially closed, short of massive co-operation between plako and Dantski.
If Jowy did gift all his cities to Kathlete then it would just crush his economy to have all those distant undeveloped cities, he isn't even in a strong economic position anyway. That is why I think Jowy doing a scorched earth is the best bet to slow Spulla down.
One of the major reasons everyone thinks Spulla is going to walk all over everyone is they are so detailed in their posts. Because of all the spreadsheets and discussion about combining Organized religion and whipping and all the othe little details, they seem so much more in control. Whereas HRE seems to be doing an excellent job of their empire management and economy, but since they don't talk about it as much it doesn't seem as special.
The one thing Spulla were really wrong about, was that Nakor needed to attack Dantski to get enough space to be competitive. With the rich inland island and the great outer islands there is plenty of good cities to found if you are bold enough to take them.
