UF NEWS: Devolorians Devour SPQR
Before the Devolorians ran into SPQR they had hostile relations with other kingdoms. While tagged hostile an unknown province from the Devolorian kingdom captured over 100 acres from a province in SPQR. INIWHUINI & PKM of the Roman Republic decided that the hostile tag being sported by the Devolorians wouldn't stop them from a 2x retal. In the wee hours of July YR2 they made their attacks. Soon after the retals from SPQR the monarch of the Devolorians, Devo Hallucigenia, traditionally marched over the lands of INIWHUNI and captured 118 acres while DEta Von teese pillaged TEL of SPQR. Previous hostile relations were settled by the Devolorians in order to focus on their new targets. Within a few hours of the attacks, traditional marches were being traded like pogs in 1993.
The Devolorians played their cards well and slowly allowed SPQR to overpower them in attacks which quickly gave them the button.
July 23 of YR2 We have declared WAR on SPQR - Recruiting - HOSTILE!
The Devolorians kicked off the war with 17 attacks in the first 6 hours gaining them 1222 acres. It was PKM who made the last attack during hostile relations which gave Devolorian the button, and it was PKM who was their first chain target. Before PKM's army could return home his zombies fought 13 battles and lost 858 acres. During the initial wave of attacks from The Devolorians SPQR had begun a Ruby Dragon project on January 1st which was completed 37 hours later. The Devolorians were able to produce a dragon 22 hours before SPQR by stealing as much gold as they could from the enemy while turning the rest to worthless lead. SPQR were outnumbered in this war with 21 provinces vs Devolorian?s 24 provinces. They each had the same amount of attackers which means that the Devolorians possessed superior T/M capabilities. Before the war SPQR had larger attackers but failed to produce half of the attacks that came from the enemy. With provinces like Hammer Schlag, Rapyuta, & Bluehand who produced a grand total of 1 attack the entire war SPQR had no choice but to surrender at min time.
February 24 of YR3 SPQR - Recruiting - WAR has withdrawn from war. Our people rejoice at our victory!
Note: I've taken the paper from each kingdom, isolated the hostile relations, and removed any attacks from other kingdoms during that time. I did this so that the summary reflects only the hostile relations between the kingdoms.

Brief history about Devolorians
Devolorians have been around for a while created after 2 kd's merged if I am correct. I joined them 6 or 7 ages ago. We are a kd that mainly plays for fun and wars. Never really looked at the charts but ended in them a few times, though we normally screw up a few times. We used to be mainly south east Asia concentrated, but last age we had a big group of dutchies join us. Lynx is our king now for 3 ages. Before that we had noob kings like fishy, Loki and me (niels/vens). Other players now are people like godzy, steve, zerazuk, Ryan, cheese, Marc and recent editions like floris and cornetto. Forgot a bunch there. Mix of new and oldschool players (like me who played from age 3 till like 25) and recently rejoined the game.

From King Lynx the Blessed of Devo Hallucigenia:
Thanks for the fair and fun war. We'll always be open for a rematch as long as we can war in fair and nice way. Wish you guys have a fun age ahead!
From Niels Venselaar
Thanks for the fair and fun war. We'll always be open for a rematch as you guys had a fun attitude. And go us. Nice victory, even while some of us were more busy with Czech girls and getting drunk. But I still say she was a good excuse to miss wave times :p
From King Trent Reznor the Warrior of REC:
We waved 7 or 8 kingdoms, but they all kept running. So we picked a larger kingdom with more attackers and figured we'd get action either way. And action we got! Their armies were overwhelming. We worked hard to hold them back, but lacked enough active attackers to do more than preserve land and surrender at min time. It was a fun fight, and we thank Devolorian for stepping up when everyone else ran!
Thanks for reading the article everyone, hope you enjoyed it
