Comeback and absurd killing of itself

(Xenophon)
Following Crete's absurd and wrongful strategies of invading Illyria and Thrace and leading to them dying, Crete comeback from an Italian civil war. If Crete had not been wiped off the map, I believe the land and territory would have gone to Italy's long standing ally, Africa. Crete received land and people in Crete, Cypress, the Nile Delta, and the coast of Illyria. Although Crete got a large sum of land, this did not last for long as the leader's absurdity and impromptu strategies will return in later events. Although its leader (James) say he will not go to war anymore, Illyria and Thrace do not believe him and refuse to allow him on their land. Once Crete gets its land, their leader goes mad since he disagrees with many of the other civilization of where he can go. There is disagreement with his placement in the Nile Delta since both Africa and Italy want to withhold that land from themselves. Italy and Africa agree to assist Crete in water transportation, but there is not many place to go without conflict occuring. While all these events with Italy, Crete, and Africa occur, Thrace became quite powerful with the maximum of nine cities, enough people to sustain those cities, and the majority of the Asia Minor territory. A civil war occurred in Thrace and their leader gives the people and land to its long standing ally of Illyria. This will later change when Illyria gets a civil war and give the land back. Although Crete made a comeback, their insane leader then tried to kill itself with a large amount of calamities. This was wrong of their leader he is killing and destroying his innocent people for no apparent reason. I do not understand the strategy or excitement over calamities and weakening its empire. In the end, Italy becomes most powerful from having the most superior technology as well as a wide expanded empire across the map. I think that Italy's strategies were right and staying quiet and away from conflict was in its best interest.
