The Persians were not struggling while they were pacted with us. They didn't start to fold until they broke their pact with LOD. unfortunately you never take the time to look at actual data and facts. Mael took a whopping 7 cities off the persians before LOD started attacking them. Yeah, they must have been really hurting from those 7 city losses. If you take a moment before you speak and look back at the data, Mael started really taking cities off the Persians around 10/29. And if you look at the data, LOD started taking cities off the persians around 10/24. And it doesn't appear EOD took any cities off the persians at the time as they were attacking Blitzkrieg. So your statement that LOD didn't do anything until the persians were all but dead is simply false and idiocracy. I beg you to actually do some research and find something that states otherwise.
And your key note about the persians being pacted with Hawk Eye, I hope was just reaffirming the fact that is what I stated in my posting. And the persians were not the only ones that took in HE members. EOD took in trager and chad911 (maybe a couple more).
And you can keep hiding behind the misconception that people hate EOD because they are in first, if that is what makes you feel better.
I found about 25 persian cities taken by EOD in September. So that makes 32 cities between Mael and EOD before LOD jumped in. I can see how you would consider that the Persians were all but dead.
LOD started taking cities towards end of Oct.

This just proves that LOD and Mael were taking out the persians at the same time. If you can find any data other than the 32 cities I mention previously that states otherwise, I would love to see it.
