Mollys not knowing why they are at war? You mean, Mollys not reading the news? You know, our dear Charles started their assault with a Sirius-wide and Gallia-wide message about how Liberty and Bretonia gonna pay for what their ancestors did. Telling me Mollys don't even care about the reasons behind the Gallic-Bretonian war? Seriously?
The carefulness you are talking about is logical and understandable, but there are a few points against it as well, would there be not I don't think the NAP would have happened at all.
Besides I do think Gallia cares about Mollys agenda either, at least had to prior to signing the NAP (why would you sign treaties with somebody you don't know well enough), they should know about what you fight for. And that makes you less unpredictable than what you try to imply.[/color][/align]
The NAP happened because it simply suited the agenda of the Mollys, i would even say, that it suited the agenda of the Molly leardership back then :
- less enemy to fight : means all Mollys forces are available to clean up Dublin.
- Direct access to gold market : meaning not having to rely on another faction, and having the whole benefits for themselfs only.
Have their own economy, is indeed a great step forward for them.
I would only add something about the mistrust of the Mollys toward the Gauls : the first scouting party the gauls sent in Edi simply opened fire on the Molly patrol that was here when the gauls finished the Brets they met first.
Well, in conclusion, the Mollys thinks the NAP is simply opportunistic for both partys.
And it will probably cease once it won't suit anymore one of them

If you aid us, and you aid them, you are the enemy.
If you do not aid them, you are worthless outside of extortion potential.
If you aid us, you will be treated with respect.
