strategic location is a really good advantage, and you could have easily taken out alot of settlements.
Also since naval battles are "broken" i cant just sail my men to defend.
I wouldnt call the military score accurate since your stack would be stronger than my stack.
I also didnt do any backstabs until now and it's been three years since i got my awards
But the key factor in this is that you tried to force me to accept the deal with you.
