How very Colonial of you! Look, if you guys want a decent war then we can fast forward ten years since no one else is here. The Electorate can have expanded, you can have your alliance, and then I'll come after you. At the moment it makes no sense to go after the lizards since what my guys really need is fertile land :P Can't eat gold, and they've got plenty of that already.
