I still think trading cities as part of a legitimate peace offer is reasonable and should be allowed, but I can accept losing that to remove some of the shenanigans.
I get that its just frustration talking, but mackoti attacking scooter over plako is exactly the sort of thing Commodore himself advocates in his Art of War articles. I give this game 25t before concession.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

If mack razes Commodore's capital then I don't think there will be anyone left having fun with this game. So yeah, we're staying to see the concession at the end of the tunnel.
If you're going to play in a game with mackoti you need to be prepared to play ruthlessly. Because he sure is

I think this depends on how quickly plako can get to any sort of naval parity and how fast mackoti would be able to raze a meaningful number of cities. Plako has over 50 cities, right? He isn't going to roll over if a couple border/island cities get razed. He is finally starting to leverage his massive land advantage through MoM enhanced golden age turns. I don't remember if this is his second or third GA now, but I think that he has been through plenty of lean turns to get to this point and he isn't the quitting type.

I don't know the history of this game, but why doesn't scooter just close borders with Commodore if he's worried about the confucian shrine being razed?
I have to run.

Yeah, I've been wondering that too since I saw that army heading south- Noble pointed it out to scooter a while back as well. I guess they have valuable trade routes he doesn't want to lose?

Those units are not within scooters reach to affect. They are in Lewwyns land.

But they had to spend a couple turns going through scooter land to reach Lewwyn, yes?
