A few things are definitely working against me in this war, the most obvious being that all my allies have a very long way to come to give me assistance. While they indeed have a very large pool of extra troops to come and help with the effort of defending the empire, they're all arriving in a trickle rather then an overwhelming torrent of soldiers all striking at once. I may get very confident at one point in the video but because it takes so long for said assistance to arrive that confidence was definitely declared too soon.

The second thing working against me is my general inexperience of large conflicts like this. Typically when I play I prefer to try and void large wars wherever possible and when this one appeared it caught me off guard and relatively unprepared for the eventuality. 

Thirdly is that the place they're attacking for is one of the hardest places in the game to defend due to it's location and that I haven't created a bottleneck of troopers quickly enough to stop them from surging forward into my territories.

Finally is my general fear of committing my own personal soldiers to this conflict. While many of the large factions are gone I'm pretty confident that were I to send my own demesne of troops into the battle and I lost them, one faction or anther might have the power to rise up against me and with a huge war on they might just get away with what they're planning.

That said, even if we lose this war it isn't entirely bad. It leaves the empire that little bit weaker for when I inevitably lose the title with my heir and decide to break away from the empire. After all, the smaller it is the larger the chunk of its power I personally control...
