Because I don't ever send back aid. Because I couldn't.
Dude you couldn't attack me. I though dwarf was the strong attacker. Surely a dwarf that is higher in net worth should have been able to attack gnome when his army is out.
However you were unable to attack. You were unable to attack so you are the weaker attacker. The first person to give up or is unable to attack in a one on one loses.
But I'm going to take it one step beyon. I'll attack you province with it's whole army at home and you will not be able to do any thing about it. So in the mean time build up you land and defense.
