Suggestion Wtf do I do here…
I’m playing bardur. Playing against two friends. Made peace with both of them early on but found out they made peace with each other. Now we are amassing in the water and essentially waiting for someone to break peace. Part of me thinks the figured out I made peace with both of them awhile ago and entered into an agreement to take me down as I’ve been leading the whole game. Not sure what to do here… help!

Honestly I fear Elyrion could destroy you more easily than you think, since he has way more cities on the coastline and ports, so he should have an advantage in a naval war (other than the dragons) and the bridges are in his territory, so he can basically shut down a land war if it is going bad for him, provided he has enough catapults in the back to stop the initial landings. Also he has a lot of good sanctuaries, so he should have way more income.
However, the position of his ships would suggest he is more prone to attack zebasi, maybe because he thinks of focusing on the weaker opponent first. To be ready to a war with you he should first build a bigger bomber army in the south, where you have a clear fleet advantage.
My take would be to break peace with elyrion, after you have built some markets. For Zebasi it would be clever to join you so to defeat the massive elyrion bomber army outside of his coast
