I think this one explains itself, so I'll save you the colorful exposition.

This was the single biggest slap in the face I got the entire game. It came literally out of left field and pissed me off so much I was sitting there throwing a fit at Damien over AIM. XD Up to this point in the game, me and Japan had had absolutely no conflicts. Rome seemed to have a bigger potential issue with me and he was between the two of us, so I figured that would have provided a buffer. Japan was pretty far away from me, there were no border disputes, I just don't get it.

Japan and me had good trade relations(I was trading him something for his Spices and we had open borders), and as shown in the previous image, we had a Research Agreement together and as stated above, it was going to be fulfilled in ONE TURN. Seriously, if he hadn't Declared War when he did, then as soon as my next turn started, we'd have both got a science boost.

Also, I was already in an agreement with Dylan to go to War with Jag in a couple more turns and was waiting that out... now suddenly I've got another war thrown at me from completely the other side of the map from where I was aiming my units, and I'm not really prepared for either of them. GREAT.

So basically he just pulled the biggest dick move imaginable on me out of fucking nowhere. The only logical recourse was table flipping and doing an acrobatic pirouette off the fucking handle.

And so...
We changed into something more battle appropriate. XD
(Sefra changing clothes was meant to be a running gag throughout the run)
