It warms my heart to see you're still sour about us sh*tting on your little KD.

Final war report?
This was an exhausting war. I am the steward, made some huge mistakes in planning/actions this war. I'm probably 50% of the reason for it to end like this :D As agreed per our terms - We wd in timely fashion as you are clearly winning at this time point.
At the end, i would say we had a pretty big t/m advantage - Our mages could et their rogues, and we took out their mage strength (about 10-12k wiz killed on 2 mystics, and 3-4k on another?) so they couldn't do the same to ours. If we kept it going for 3-4 more days, we may have pulled it out through attrition (or their attackers could have taken over simply with numbers) - we had a war like this when we ran an attacker heavy strat that lasted 2 weeks and we were on the other side of it and lost in the past. Econ control was big at the end and we couldn't properly do it. Coming into war with 2 t/m's on lower def, that went down easily (couldn't recover in time from the prewar hits) and one of our mystics accidentally adding an extra 0 while releasing wizards following pre-war hits gave us trouble controlling econ properly like we have in the past wars. Weekend also led to some activity issues, but overall, COL did a great job this war with what they had.
Our attackers had a miserable time this age with this strat. Looking forward to a rematch in the future! (with much less drama and complaining)

So, WD from MRC as CoL took a big lead over the last 24 hours.
As mentioned earlier, I felt we had a good t/m advantage early on, but we found ourselves spread too thinly trying to keep their Halfers out of it and were unable then to devote the mana to eco control. Their attacker balance was also stronger than ours and they significantly outmuscled us with chains, especially as we were struggling to finish those - CoL forced a lot more release on us than we did on them.
We were surprised with the speed of their gold dragon - we had been slow funding ti while prepping to boost tpa on rogues, but they must have 100% funded that third drag and we were caught with ours only 60% funded. At that point things had been quite balanced, but we struggled through that drag and I think that was the killer for me as we lost a few more attackers in an already attacker-thin KD. We were just running out of offensive output as they were managing to continue slowly knocking down our t/ms.
Nice organisation from CoL, good/consistent builds across attackers. Extra high wpa on their human/merchants for protection, although, as I said to their monarch, I would have turtled much more on those humans than they did, hitting out to approximately 40dpa and making it pretty easy for us to semi chain a bunch of them. Very nice job from them overall. Excellent activity. I hope they take ww crown overall.
P.S. First every public war award from my KD - these are usually an in-house set of awards and my KD knows my favourite is The Breakfast Award for the Biggest Noob (http://i.imgur.com/fzUo11f.gif ). I'm awarding it to myself as public humiliation after an attempt to release 1500 wiz pre-war to mitigate loss of acres included an extra '0' and an accidental 15,000 wiz release, resulting in a massive 4.5rwpa on a faery/mystic going into war. Delightful achievement, and one unlikely to be forgotten.
New addition to "don't pull a josh" - before it used to be sending a dragon right before declaring. Now it's releasing all your wiz pre war. Lol
Legit war for sure. We did fund that third drake 100%. Fourth drake was 75% funded as well ;)
Crazy how consistent ET was for 4 days straight. Had to compete literally every tick just to get a single op off. At the end of the day, while I hate losing 700 honor to mf'ing ET, I'll take ET 2-3x a tick than have to deal with MS or FBs all war. I think I had MS a total of 12 hours :P We finally figured out we can actually FB some of your elves, and I think slowly, but surely, we would have chipped away at your TM strength. Sauron's was the next to go down ;)
Thank you MRC for interesting and intense war.
Your TMs totally owned us at start. And ETs on HAs were annoying as f**k but i think you maybe used em too much? HAs were mostly MS-free plus you lacked some peon control. IMO.
At last tick of war it was (i think) 407k vs 270k peons in our favour and we had left only 3 mill gc to fund 4th drake (Goldie) while were pushing out 1+ mill gc/tick from our TMs only. Due to your quite low max MO we could insta slay approx 75% of incoming Goldie with TMs only while you'd struggle with slaying 4th drake (and possibly open your TMs even more). After that we'd pump our HAs's TPA and prop your HAs (no matter they were ETed hourly they managed to do avg maybe 1 op/tick). At that point we already significantly lowered your total peon number and took over economy. So i think "dragging" war would only benefit us. Again: IMO.
All in all, this war had it all. Good activity, big stakes and lill bit of forum drama 1st day or two.
Now, let's hope we win that crown finally (last time we won it i was in highschool. And i just said "bye bye" to 20's so you do math :D)
yup, long time since last wwin crown. different times. and manimal was leading :D
Anyway, those ET's were nasty :P. but i can understand why. woke up with 35% stealth today and took 1k specs, 4k thieves and 500 wizzards :D
One of the most important wars Ive been a part of. Well sort of .. thanks to Herp for sitting my prov most of war ... again hahaha! Infact I just set sitting for 3 days last night because I wasnt expecting war to end just yet! We managed to chain down your offense threats but your TM's were badass. Ive been at this point in war before on more than one occasion... Big Enemy UB Tm's and too much offense to use on the attackers. Ive been on the losing end where we tried conquest the bigs down but I think this time we played it perfectly. We were in a good position where we were going to force your tm's to send out defense on dragon or you keep dragon 24/7. I think it would be very tough on your end to come back even if age wasnt going to end. One thing I think you are forgetting is we arent afraid of a long war! When we plan strat out start of age we always consider a long term approach to war.
Also I hope there are no hard feelings now. When crowns are on the line it is so so rare that wars and stuff will go 100% smoothly. If anything this war went smoother than expected (no outside stuff during war at all). Even from reading most of this thread it seems MRC really had no choice about the prewar stuff so meh to that. Good on MRC for being an honorable kingdom and withdrawing. Congratz to my fellow CoL members and leadership in particular. The way a kingdom plays always starts at the top. Loke/Owa are two of the most unselfish players in this game and it rubs off on the rest of us. Also special shout out to gnasher for his return and his help on making our kingdom 25 strong.
Yeah. CoL executed extremely well. Tons of little mistakes on our end added up: One of our biggest mysts just dropping 4.5 raw wpa before war by mistake. We let one of our big attackers who was in really good shape end up with 0 incoming and he got nailed. We had a few of our hitters (and we didn't have many hitters) fail to get armies out in time. Our war set-up never left us a ton of cushion, either: we had to keep attackers surviving and clinging to offense as long as possible.
Here's the sign of finality: CoL's T/Ms were able to send out and put razes and masses on chained attackers, while ours were not. We couldn't risk plague on our faeries and halfers, so they couldn't nail the undeads who were low on defense, and the humans never got down to land def. We kind of relied upon the potential for our T/Ms to send armies out and help smack down chain targets but it never happened, so we got MASSIVELY out hit. We've won earlier wars where this happened, but those were wars when we did have econ control and we didn't have it here. ET probably got overrused while we should have used more fireballs, chastity, and meteors.
CoL's resilience impressed me. Truly impressed. We were really surprised with the speed on the gold.
You mofos took every advantage of every misteps we had.
We learnt quite a bit from you guys. Once again, thanks for the war.
PS - and f*ck p*li*cal i*st*bi**y. Someone with 2.5 wpa PRE-war (and bloated during war) manages to explode my wizard 90% of the time. Like, only 5-10% of my spells got through this fat attacker. It felt like everytime I did an op on you, it was a self AW. I avoided you after 2 days...and told my crew 'screw this guy - I'd punch him in the face if I saw him irl'
You need to work on your aid system dude
At first I was a bit intimidated by your T/M power because my kdmates seemed to make big huha about it but after 48 hours, I started taking soms of your chainies n realized your failure in aiding system. Also you guys just did random stuffs in everything. N a lot of OPS you did were honor whorings.
The saph dragon selection was bad. Your attackers many kept their armies at home for few ticks after 48 hours. And few were starving.
So long story short, I was not really impressed by at all. For a possible crown war, that war just meh
That was a bad weekend for us. Atleast one of us found a new girl and disappeared for a while. Good on him
And seems like he is only truly winner after this war hehe
Make love not war.

Trolls before trollops
Yeah, kinda agree..But no regrets. We entered into this age with no expectations. We did not even have a tight KD pers/race selection. We just wanted to war as much as we can and engage the best KDs out there.It was our first time as 25 province KD, and although we already had a WW crown before, this is a different weight class altogether.
Congratz COL...Hope you get that crown...and hope to meet you again next age. ;p
I swear that gf is a KGB spy from CoL
Just watch. No more gf after EOWCF
I'm just catching up.
Congratulations Confessions of Lotus! Nice seeing you guys rocking the charts.
I've been contemplating The Virtual Kingdom so I've been scanning strategy forum a bit much lately.
Ui TUWAD coming back!
Kgb...
