(PI)  For starters, I will not be looking at your region for potential things to acquire. As you can see from earlier posts, I have been trying to get two potential customers from waging war against each other (Region 1 and 10).  My attentions will be drawn to strife and regions where I have no control, in your case NO I will credit the 2 villages as counting as being in region 10.  If you go to war with a non customer of mine, you could expect some aid for free, but  if you needed more direct involvement on specific targets that will cost you, but would be less then others would pay.  Look at the DU deal I made, there is no way in hell I would take his deal for the amount he offered if I did not get population centers from him. The deal I mean is the one for a tough artifact to get.  The better the relations I have with an empire, the more likely I am to take risks that might not be cost effective in my favor. Just remember, as of now I have relations with half of the regions, that means half I might start looking at.  Nomads, lets say you pick a fight in a region I have no influence in, you can bet there could be a good chance your enemy emissaries, artifacts, etc. will be at risk and all you did was give up 2 villages out of your home region.  My credits towards your empire begins once I start getting income and you can see half ignored me, so why would I bother harassing with your empire if you helped me with income when others did not?

(NO) Sounds fair enough. Enjoy the resources.
