There is etiquette in stealing from large kd's with lots of gc. All of our attackers were around the same gc and tpa level, so instead of robbing 80-90% of one provinces gc.. just do a couple ops on each prov... that way you dont entirely destroy the prep of one prov. Absolutely destroying one provinces prep is just rude (if you expect no retaliation). If you took like 5% of 10 of our provinces gold, we would be a lot less upset than completely emptying out one of our provs.. that means to prepare for war we have to aid them up to be ready, destroying their trade balance, and hurting their effectiveness in receiving aid in war.
We're just riding out the age, so we don't care if you delay it the rest of the age lol. dealer's choice, but you reap what you sow.
