That wouldn’t be all that cool at all.
In one game I had, I started in Mali, with my capital in the Southwest corner of the map, and my empire stretched from there to Eastern Persia, sharing a border with another empire that controlled India and had broke out into Persia.
There were some border squabbles, and despite me being able to field 300k troops versus their 100k, the fact they’d be declaring war on me for those border provinces in the other half of the map would’ve probably resulted in me losing them before I knew I was at war.
Edge case, sure, and the only reason I had my empire out there was to stop the incessant Jihads from the two Muslim faiths, and I had no real desire to continue expanding, but it would have been annoying to have spent time (and a 30-year cooldown on Great Holy Wars!) to get the land to have it taken off me because camels are slow.
