Hi, I'm Ys. This wasn't my main or even secondary objective at the time, DarthRoblox accurately summarized my confusion and inexperience, but take a gander at that province I invaded on the map and see if you can pick up on the major strategic advantage I managed to give myself without realizing it at first!

Yeah from Ys perspective the diplomatic situation around this point was me ignoring the land almost entirely and focusing on the beginning of the knife fight with Rl'yeh.

I think my inexperience was a big help for phaecia and machaka at this point because I wasn't immediately under existential threat from Rl'yeh and wasnt familiar with how amphibious Ys is, I passed up on a few opportunities to fight for coastal provinces because I was 100% focused on securing UW stuff. No idea if I could have held anything but I could've probably been skirmishing and maybe gotten one or two more land-ys forts to recruit kernou druids up.

It is interesting how the appearance of a god just ends a lot of internal strife because, well, we're all worshiping this god now. Like Eriu the Fir Bolg textually resent and have been killed en masse by both the tuatha/side and humans, the sidhe lords mounds were disturbed and they were driven out by the humans, and then a new god shows up and welp now we're all on the same side. LA Mictlan has the Lawgiver who ended blood sacrifice in MA available as a hero and the text basically goes "yeah they outlawed blood sacrifice a while back and then the new god showed up and now we do blood again"
