"Your seas are too unprotected" when landlocked

[Digihuman]

This is something that really bugs me about Norway's agenda.
I keep getting told off for having a weak navy, even if all my cities are completely landlocked, or the only tile of water I own is a 1 or 3 tile lake. Like, seriously?

Don't worry about it. Just build up your defences/troops and laugh when he sends his 1-2 archers to die to them! :P

Shockingly, he actually led a full army with varied units into my lands while I was in the middle of a war with Persia.
Fortunately I pushed him back but still, that taught me to be naive as the kongo.

EDIT: Fortunately, it seems he hadn't expected me to have the Kongo swordsman UU.

I'm playing a lot of big TSL maps and Russia and Norway always go at it...

I've found he usually only starts spouting that once you are seaside and can build a harbour.
Sometimes though he just randomly spouts it.
I like to think it's just the old viking getting bored and wanting to raid someone.

Oh don't get me started on Cleo. How is my army of 9 Kongo swordsman CORPS weak, Cleo? I was beating up Persia while you complained about my weakness, then I beat up Norway's attempted invasion, and then I beat back YOUR invasion! WITH SWORDSMEN!

Haha yeah I'm sure they only go by a numbers game and not power. So if they have 50 warriors and you have 2-3 tank armies, they may just consider you weak. :P

Oh I am not sure who it is, I forget now but I love being called poor when I have 20k+ gold and every other civ has less than a couple of thousand each.

That happened to me, too. I had a high income of about 100 a turn, too, and I was told I was heading towards bankruptcy.
