You just answered your own question. This way the acres were free. It isn't profitable to war unless a kingdom completely rolls over dead.
Your warring kingdom logic and notions of bravery don't come into play up here. You simply need to make the right decisions at the right times to win.
TFT's goal was to stall simians which they successfully did as they were dicing away at #1. They could not care less about losing a couple wars when there overall goal was met and exceeded expectations. I was somewhat disappointed Simians took the bait and fell for this trap but oh well.
Chuck, I told you we were going to wave you once you left fortified, before you made your first hit; the claim that we only wanted to take some free acres after you sent out is completely and provably false. We chose not to wave into fortified because (unlike you apparently) we don't like losing tons of acres. In hindsight the 100k acres we would have farmed in war would more than have made up for that, but how was I to know that you guys wouldn't even fight back once it got to war?Quote:

I don't really agree with this seemingly new train of thought that came up last age of "we're calling dibs by saying we're hitting you no matter what you do." While one could say Simians asked for this more than say Inso did last age, Inso noticing someone and then someone noticing them afterwards and then saying "we're hitting regardless" is really nothing more than a powerplay. I imagine had we not won the age I would have felt we got ****played pretty hard, so I can understand anri's frustrations.Quote:

Making 8 hits into fortified isn't the end of the world, especially given your longstanding statement of how bad of a setup they had compared to yours. This seemingly could have easily been resolved with a more clear cut case of just giving em 8 hits if you wanted them.
It'd be cool if one day some decent and mature kd's started competing against ABS, instead of the ones going at it nowadays
Sure. Now its not interest at all. I don't see how win age this age or being top 3 is impressive if you had very weak and almost zero competition.Quote:

Don't mean rest 3 kds are wrong there. Its was non abs kds mistake for not plan better his CFs.
Because some kingdoms (Sanctuary) just don't have the balls to make the initial hostility move, others have to do it for them. This isn't the first time you do this :)Quote:

The question however is, what would have happened if Simians had only noticed one? Im pretty sure either Sanc or Rage (more likely Sanc though) would have noticed Simians 1 hour before hostilities started.
Sure, Sanc will claim not to have noticed them because they offered Simians to re-CF so they could fight HoH (according to ASF).. but we know that's easy to say from the current perspective.
If HoH keeps gaining acres they'll pass Rage by quite a bit. Looks like Sanc's double may have ruined Rage chances on a crown? I wonder who's going to be angry at who after this war lol
the best scenario next age is that flogger consulting bio then simians should hire elit
this way we can see both bio and simians in top chart competiting with abs
What a waste of letters. Who would have fun in the top if it wasn't for Simians or BiO ?Quote:
