I know of no one succeeding in this game if they fucked with the duck people.

From what I've read, it's impossible to. They will rally the other beast people & fuck you up.

Yeah, That's what I recall.  I do remember there was a magic banner that guaranteed victory in battle at the cost of killing the man holding it, which makes me think you could survive that battle.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

 :hmm:  I usually intimidate the ducks into paying tribute.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Fucking with them means driving them off their land. Although, they do fuck you up once some time later, but can you continue to play normally afterwards? Sure you'll be weak as hell, but things can be recovered from.

The banner means you 'win' the battle, but from what I've found thus far it doesn't mean a win.  I seem to experience severe losses and the enemy quits the field. 
PDH!

I am not sure.  It caters to 99% of Languish.  The other 1% are lurkers who dont count.

Doing it initially is stupid,  but you can steal land form them by inches.

I think I just spent three days playing this on my iPad.  Holy living fuck.

There's a very real chance that this is one of-maybe the-smartest game of all time.

I played a few turns last yesterday - this is a really great game.  Too bad I didnt know about it back in the day - but that is why we have GoG.
