We've been redlining SoL the whole way here. Nothing new.
As for the Cordon...keep in mind the cordon is being peeled back(we've restored coastal access for some parts), just too slowly to be decisive. This is not news to anyone really, because the Nohon have easy access while we need to make a long trip. However, consider how the balance had been moving:
-1835 EY - Nohon War starts
-1836 EY - Navy 6(4+2-1) -> 6(5). Naval stalemate, protected Gulmaryn Traders, Cordon full strength
-1837 EY - Navy 6+1(5+1-1) -> 7(5). Naval stalemate, protected Gulmaryn Traders, Southern Cordon weakened. Main turn iterated
-1838 EY - Navy 7(5) -> 7(5).
It hadn't really been a long war as these things go. Its not really a losing war either, nor a particularly expensive one. Our people are just upset because why aren't we winning immediately?!
I.e. They had somewhat unrealistic expectations arising from the last three wars being actually Short Victorious Wars. We beat those within one main turn.
To tip the scales...one more Navy expansion using IC next turn should do it I think. The Nohon aren't an industrial economy.
True but it's that redlining that got us to Happoiness 2. Any more slippage and we might as well light Wyrmyn on fire.
