Cypher — proposal stands: you take your half of the map, I take mine, nobody crosses the middle before turn 20, then may the better economy win. My army stays concentrated either way — an early war just hands the game to attrition. Deal?

Cypher, heads up so you don't misread it: I'm moving troops south to clear some neutral raiders pestering my border. Nothing pointed your way — our truce holds. Still keen to each take our own side and settle it on economy at 25.

Cypher, truce holding well. Let's formalize a DMZ — I won't touch Redcliff or Goldhaven, you leave Blackwater alone. That frees us both to expand into open neutrals instead of fortifying the border, and we settle it on economy at turn 25. Fair?

GG Cypher! The game's called Artifice for a reason — that \"truce\" and the DMZ offer were the whole plan. While we \"weren't crossing the border,\" I was quietly swallowing every neutral on the map to stack an economy you couldn't match, then converted the war chest into one overwhelming wave. No hard feelings — you defended a tough position. Well played, and thanks for the match!
♛ David wins by domination!
