He stated that if we did not EoA cf him, then he would get his friend kingdoms to gb us. Bart also said he didn't care about #1 province and wasn't going for it anyway and so he was happy to agree to not compete against us for it if we just gave him an EOA cf instead of farming him.

It's really quite strange that some think it is somehow against a game rule to give a weaker kingdom a free cf deal instead of farming them with the simple condition that they don't use that free cf deal to go for #1 province. Diplomacy is and has always been a large part of what utopia was intended to be about and deals similar to that are made all the time for the benefit of both parties.
If we were no danger, you would've farmed us. I intentionally took a set-up of mystic/rogue - elf/heretic to make sure that anyone feeding on us would leave the hostile with possibly more land, but not enough military to defend their land afterwards. You were trained up for ****, had no wpa, and I simply would've covered you into MS/FG for a week or so until the others would've caught up and farmed ya.
