There isn't just one border for Australia.
Australia has links to South America via Moquega, direct (multiple) links to DEI. And there's a chunk of Asian nations and mid-American nations that are within striking distance.
I agree Australia's in a fairly good strategic position. But that's more because it's on the edge of the map so all threats will come from the same general direction. There's nothing that can change that. It's the same situation for the French States.

British States have the toughest border to defend, starting anyways.

Australia is the only country that has only one border on the continent and then an additional one going to Amerika. Nuff said really try reading the original post before you reply. Thanks.

Why do you always act like a child? I was responding to the poster above that post of mine, not to your post. There's really no reason to act like such a brat, especially when you're pointing out something that's inaccurate (the inaccurate statement being that my post had anything to do with your original post).

The problem I see is that no one on this tread stated that Australia only has one border.

I think the toughest starting position for a country might be Algeria or Tunis. Because Berber and Tripo really have no choice but to move upwards through them. Means they start with at least one enemy. And they are surrounded by many more.
Some other countries have the same problem. DEI for example. They basicly start at war with Australia.

Don't talk about borders in arguing against Australia. Berbers had one of the most strategic positions imo and they died so early. Meanwhile, Spanish Colonists should have been the target of everyone on America based on their borders and yet they somehow lived.

lol, considering I was the one that lvled up the fastest in australia, my opinion should carry some weight. I didn't really use boomerangs:
A. becuase they werent really available since everyone bought them
B. because they have no melee strength
don't go telling us how we leveled up lol, we did it we should know the best

Difference is there are several country's bordering Berber/Tripo so there is always a chanche that if they do good diplomacy they can team up if Berber is stronger. DWI basicly stands alone + a chanche that people attack it from behind(we've seen this this age & last age).

I think it's important to remember that the aussies have to travel long distances to get to any other land mass in the game, it takes them forever to be a threat to anyone.
