    War Terms......Race For acres???

    Its a two part post people......

    Firstly
    =====
    I know not everyone fights wars with pre-agreed terms anymore.
    BUT......
    I know some of you still do though so what terms do you play with.....?

    I usually go for the following....

    72hour Acre war
    Winner decided by most acres gained.

    I have the usual negotiated stuff like..
    No Dragons and No Pk if wanted but what does everyone else go for?

    Also......
    Secondly
    =======
    How do you think a "Race for Acres" term war will do.....??
    The idea behind it is that both kingdoms fight to achieve an agreed amount of acres gained on their kingdom papers.
    So lets say both kingdoms agreed to Race to 4000acres (etc).....the winner would be decided on who gained 4000acres (etc) first from their attacks. They would ignore their losses although if they lost 4k acres they would have lost the war anyway??
    Could it also be worked out from the dates of the attacks from the papers should it be a close war to decide who actually achieved the agreed acres from their attacks first?

    What ya think?

    I have no terms, because they invite abuse and breaking of them.
    Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process.

    Step one: replace everything that works.
    Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces.
    Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update.
    Step four: thank you for your patience.

    I use war terms occasionally, if I feel like it (expecting a lazy war I will say no dragons or PK etc) or if the monarch I'm warring is known for being picky about such things (people who seem to like to refuse to surrender).

    Most of the time no war terms is best, just war till they know they lost. ;)

    race for acres really seems pointless. people know they lost and if they don't you can always convince them.

    Terms anymore??

    It's not like it always were about terms, terms came into play when warwins become a thing to get on your kd page and was something ghetto kds arranged in order to make sure they set the premises for swift useless wars, where they were sure the other kd nor themselves could do any damage and the only point was to bang on eachother without doing any damage for 48 hrs and then see who hit the most afterwards..

    In the olden days we tried to paralyze the target, ruin the most dangerous provs and feed on the rest..

    i always use terms, there's nothing worse than being clearly ahead and the other monarch won't quit.

    48 hour war (72 max)
    no pking
    no dragon
    depending on your kingdom size i have an acres limit.

    We don't use terms.. I think terms are more friendly in the lesser ability kingdoms we're you can't 'force' a kd to withdraw

    Terms are fine for ghetto wars where otherwise wars would almost always end in mutual peaces (I've never been in a ghetto war with a clear winner emerging from it).

    I find it amusing that ghettos always have the "NO PK" term, like they could manage that ;)

    hehe, we did once... and then the other side got cranky =)
    we FB'ed him to ~100 pez on 2k acres...
    he got him by an orc, storms + MS, he died =(
    (i didnt think that was possible, but it happened!)

    was amusing, but they claimed we broke the war rules...
    i tried to argue that it wasnt our fault he was a complete nub that let himself die on 2k acres, and we didnt willingly kill him off, but the other side was a bunch of nubs, so we MP'ed when we were clearly winning =(
