Presumably some of Rusten's expansion came because Compin expanded slower towards him than you would. Can we set up a control Always Peace version of the game to see how far Rusten's holdings would have extended in that case?

Should we ping Gavagai and ask him how he's doing to see if he's willing to concede?
More people have been to Berlin than I have.

That would likely be too telling. He could still a make a difference if he was prompted. If he doesn't recognize the way the war is going now and before the war gets too out of hand then that's part of the game. But if we prompt him by indicating Compin needs aid or its over before he recognizes on his own then its interference. Need to wait.

Looks like he's diving in of his own accord  .

If he keeps fighting for a couple more turns, I enter the war, if he makes peace then I concede. I'm pretty sure Gav is just wrong about Commodore being completely dominant. Rusten's economy seems to be generally better, and Spiritual Mids is helping him with promotions, and he's been building up his navy for a much longer period, and he's got the draft.

So you think it's over regardless?

Not...necessarily, because Gav is reacting. More just saying that Gav misjudged the situation, Commodore was strong second not dominant. He had to make something happen, and that's why his tactical misstep with the galleons was possible.
I suppose I would say Rusten still has something like a 70% victory chance here despite Gav, but it's not quite over.

Sounds like he's prepared for a dogpile and Gav's aims aren't too ambitious, so I'd put Rusten's chances even higher...

A rare RB dogpile...random chance or the outcome of Rusten's diplo?
