TBB has 3 only too. Cos you have 4 fake wars. Thus war win removed.

That's just stupid. Even if TBB and CR intends to go b2b2b2b2b2b2b2b for the rest of the age does that mean other kingdoms (not just FS) needs to respect that? They were in range and we wanted a chance to get a war and made the first move. Simple as that.
Had TBB wanted to go B2B2B with CR then sure thing - get a CF done and move on, go have your fun.
When there are no CF's in place between kingdoms it's a free for all - first come first serve. In fact, after coming back after years, I realized there this thing called "arranged war" now that is so completely retarded. When 2 kingdoms have an arranged war, other kingdoms are supposed to respect that and not get involved even without CF's in place?
All TBB ever had to do was approach FS long before they came out of war and negotiate some sort of CF with all potential threats so that they can happily war their desired KD in peace. Not doing so just shows the lack of experience from their leadership and lack of foresight.
The top kd's are the ones with the leadership to see threats and risks long before it can even happen.
Well, I think I already admitted that I am knew to the Top Tier of kingdoms and their ways. Things were much simpler in my Ghetto Kingdoms. You send out letter to ten monarchs saying, "Hey you want to war?", and one or two would reply. You negotiate, you war, you move on. Did I see the b2b coming? No, because like I said I NEVER waved a kingdom after beating them in war, and I never had a kingdom do it to me. So when you never see something in many years of playing this game, you definately don't see it coming.
I also admitted that I am not a leader in TBB, I am just a soldier. I barely pay attention to the chat on Whatsap, I just follow orders and instructions. Like I said, I did not need much aid to be ready coming oop and I was the smallest in the kingdom. Did the gold give us an advantage over CR? No, it made it an equal and fair fight, and CR, FS and Divinity just were not happy with those results.
Did you see that guys? The Bully got punched in the mouth!
Baka, read the posts. Noone believes that FS was intending to war TBB. In fact, I don't think they believe that FS wants to war anyone (unless another fake war with ascension). I mean, you only have 3 wars (probably all fake) this entire age, while TBB is in their 8th (most of them are those arranged wars where terms are discussed, acre caps, wave dates set...ever heard of those). The consensus is FS and CR wanted to make TBB pay for whooping CR in war, and Divinity has joined in. The goal was not war, son. It was turning TBB green. 3 down, 22 to go. Keep going bud, you can do it. Your parents will be so proud!
I don't speak for the other kd's but FS being happy or unhappy with the the result of 2 kingdoms dogging it out has nothing to do with us waving the only kd in range and without a CF.
However you see it or bend it, the fact of the matter is that if TBB was so ready to go for a B2B2B with CR, then all they had to do was mitigate all surrounding risks by asking KD's without CF's for a CF. It's all about foresight and planning.
If all else fails, war the kd that waves you instead of leaving relations open.
Everything else doesn't even matter - TBB screwed up. I just wish it doesn't demoralize the kd and it comes back with a vengeance.
"Did the gold give us an advantage over CR? No, it made it an equal and fair fight"
vs.
"Question asked was if we did not get the gold to recover from war, would we have declined the harsh terms for CF and declared war?
A: I would have to say no. We would have had to roll over and take it like all kingdoms do when a larger and stronger kingdom wants their honor and acres. "
Logic fracture detected. Ed, I'm close to your age and it's 4 a.m. here. Still, I think that you should go to bed and take a nap. You need one.
Im sure noone is blaming you as a person/player Ed, a good soldiers does what a soldier is asked, especially if they have no interest in the leading side.
The gc might not have assisted you Ed, but your biggest provinces would have needed it to meet EPA/TPA requirements, especially if they had grown beyond what they were before war, a small province with high EPA, requires very little aid, as they will just need to rebuild dspecs/tpa to be ready, but when you need a big bunch of elites/tpa/dspecs + conversion on more expensive raze/rebuild duo to size, it is doubtful your biggest would have made it without that gc, which would then have left CR to farm your top fairly easy, if their own bigs were ready. (I'm looking at it from a strategic point of view).
I kinda believe what Uncle Ed said is true based on what he knew. But I don't think he is aware of what is happening in the bigger picture. This normally will happen if instruction or order is not from the monarch. It is from another kingdom.
It is just like an army going for Brigade exercise. Will the ground troops be aware of the whole battle plan?
What does he actually "know"? I mean how does he "know" that CR/Divinity will wave in to the war if FS and CR actually went at it? It didn't even happen!
How do you "know" certain things will pan out when it never even happened? All he's doing is making things up!
Y'all need Jesus or something
