NIR's large weapons penetrate the Red Ranks (NIR vs TRR)

[Jokingjoe]

We recognize that while we're fewer, we're also larger, and thus consider this a side ways hit as you still have more total land and numbers.

Rank Guild Total Average
THE RED RANKS Land: 244,706 17,479
#1 TRR Built: 234,249 16,732

I don't know how you guys can stand to live in all that fog. I wasted a ton of turns and money wandering around in fog hitting nothing(mostly in Stee Jans' land). Luckily I spent all of yesterday's turns inspiring devotion so I was able to sustain through it but I swear 2 out of 3 attacks seemed to hit fog.

[Jokingjoe]

Was that fog? I thought it was smog from all the industrial complexes they have. There certainly wasn't much investment in military

[Darnivan]

Well, Stee had troops. I think that is why I was given him as my main target so you guys could hit the easier targets for land while I had to break his defensive troops through fog

[Aeropagitica]

Blood must stain my hands. This Era of Pacifism must end! I have decided to wage war against the Greatest of my Enemies, The Red Ranks. They are many, but they must Fall. Angelique has ordained it so.

[Carlos Danger]

Nice hit guys, we knew something was coming but couldn't do much to stop it. I couldn't get more then two of us and I thought that would have been suicide trying to make a fair war against you guys and LKA so we were kind of doomed to this fate.

As for defense only a few of us were mostly forts but when you don't have to hit up(by hit up I mean most NIR kingdoms were bigger then everyone of ours) it makes it a bit easier to get through. We live and learn and shall hopefully adapt better for next time. Something blue will die I promise. Not sure who, but someone shall die.

Bah if you could have just hit an hour later I could have been a pain in the ass. ah well on the bright side everything, even being smacked seems better with beer.

[Stee Jans]

Well, at least I HAD niceish kingdoms.

:/

[Igneous]

Good job NIR. I was pretty sure that was comming. Age winners? Reset? :0)

Lolz... NIR is enough for you in this war Carlos (drink that ale while it's cold)... Well, goodluck and best of luck to my faithmates NIR...

For us LKA, it is still nice to stay on the sideways especially that we are still on the buying mode...

[Carlos Danger]

LOL call me an optimist. If we had hit you both we would have gotten killed, but I think it was the only hit that would have been fair and kept the war to all one faith. otherwise it was wait for NIR to get bigger then us and it just didn't happen in time:P

Thank you Dauthi for making my tough decision that much easier, I understand that your looking for easy targets but I think NIR is okay in this war.

[The Minister of...]

Reset? why? .. age winners? Who?

These peoples?

A NIR person who has like 40K acres
Farm (11%)

all right then - no problem.

[Darnivan]

Joe knew that was coming He didn't have enough barracks to refort enough scum defense so we knew that since you could scout/burn him he was in trouble.

[Aeropagitica]

Oh my! How embarrassing!

[Jokingjoe]

I hate it when it rains on Labor Day weekend--and I was going to wear white one last time!

[Aeropagitica]

Carlos,
NIR can be merciful. Ask for peace and you shall have it. Do not and we will farm your member states until they quit your guild.

[Aeropagitica]

Oh. And kudos to TRR, first guild to not capitulate within 48hours of the initial strike.

[Carlos Danger]

We of the red ranks appreciate the offer of mercy from NIR. We are going to discuss it and get back to you. We prefer war over building and feel there is still some damage we can do but that window may be limited.

Don't worry about anyone quitting, if my campaign shows you anything its that even when your losing your really winning. We are really good with the positive campaign rhetoric here, I promise.

Thanks for the kudos, were mostly just stubborn here though and thought rebuilding instead of restore would be good practice. Well mostly for me.

Having shared a few bottles of wine with Carlos in the war-room tonight, I can really say I'm glad our goblin wench hired this guy! It was a crazy idea, a "real-worlder" but I think he's workin out juuusssst fiiiiine

A real politician, just what we needed for times like this, someone who knows how to tell yas damn stinky heathen ta F' off without actually saying it so yas don't get all, yanno, eeehhhh about it, an' while keeping a smile on his face an'a hand down his pants...I mean .... oh, sorry Carlos lol

Nah but really, Aero, all of NIR's previous wars have been finished within 48hrs? Wow. What a bunch'a weiners (lol)

I think we'll give more fight back than that at least.


(edit, and also, what Aero said made me think of Braveheart: "Ask for peace and you shall have it." .. well, movie said mercy, but still, I could hear that inquisitor's voice, and we remember what kin'a mercy ol' William got and how that ended up right guys? lol)

[Tara]

You know something else. I keep going back to this line and have decided I don't like that tone, Aero.

...Do not and we will farm your member states until they quit your guild.

The Ranks may lose an inactive player but no one will be chasing any'a my guys away over having war in a war game.
And our's will not be FARMS. You really like that word tho huh? ;>

Maybe NIR always got peace in 48 because you can't go the distance, yet managed to scare your previous targets into thinking they had no option.

You don't scare us.

[Darnivan]

No actually, half the wars since restore was added have lasted until we knocked kingdoms down 2-3 times.

It is how we got so big those ages, capturing built acres. That is why I went double goblin war kingdoms this age. Why build land when you can capture it pre-built?
