War broke out between the kingdoms of, TheAncients and Melee Weapons after the latter started hostlities by starting a Ruby dragon and conducting a half learn wave, waiting to see if they would get a response before proceeding further. They did indeed get a response, but not one they were hoping for, at least initially. MrCurious, the monarch of TheAncients, contacted Lead_Pipe about the situation between the kingdoms. TheAncients were only a few days out of war and having taken nearly 10k acres, along with having most of the kingdom in pump mode, were simply not in a position to war. Communications broke down slightly as TheAncients did not want to cf and had told Melee Weapons that they would be hitting them back, which resulted in Lead_pipe telling his kingdom to finish off their wave.
The grievance for TheAncients was that they felt Melee Weapons were taking advantage of the situation, with them not being ready, not having the resources readily available to jump into a war quickly and were fat. The resulting conflict became an issue of them wanting to stand up against Melee Weapons, refusing to roll over and just accept the hits, more than trying to win the war.
TheAncients responded to the initial wave on them with a full massacre wave, which took place 12 hours after Melee Weapons had completed their initial wave of learns and trad marches. Melee Weapons made another land wave against TheAncients, by which stage, had decided they were going to war despite the fact they were not ready and not in war builds. By the time of declaration, with TheAncients sending massacres and Melee Weapons trad marching, the gap between the kingdoms in terms of networth and land was 800k and roughly 10k acres respectively, to Melee Weapons. TheAncients, holding the button and with Melee Weapons having armies out, declared and chained from the start.
January 10 of YR11 We have declared WAR on Melee Weapons Hostile!
Melee Weapons were in a much greater economic position with 19 human merchants as part of their set up and as such, once their dragon had arrived, TheAncients were in no mood for killing it. They knew that they would just get a second and third dragon and the troops used for killing the dragons would be better used by retaining them to fight their enemy. TheAncients were able to send a couple of dragons over the course of the war but they were easily handled by the provinces in Melee Weapons, with both dragons being killed quickly.
Both kingdoms employed chain strategies and the initial successes went to TheAncients as they were able to hit up and into networth making their chains much more effecitve. Melee Weapons struggled, as they were hitting down in networth and acres. Melee Weapons also had to contend with the Halfers in TheAncients, looking to control their troops numbers and avoid them becoming unbreakable with the use of MS.
As the war developed, Melee Weapons found themselves in a better position to chain provinces as as they now had chained provinces of their own and it was those provinces that were able to contribute to more effective chains on their counterparts in TheAncients. By the fourth day of war, TheAncients had realised that they did not have the setup to stop the middle and upper provinces of Melee Weapons growing and conceeded the fact that any chance of a win was rapidly disappearing.
Their overall objective had been to stand up to Melee Weapons and what they felt were bullying tactics being used against them. TheAncients had some acres in the bag and were up in uniques, and having felt they had made their point against Melee Weapons, they prepared the kingdom for a withdrawal. Melee Weapons realising this were able to make some max gains hits, which cut into the slight acre advantage being held by TheAncients, meaning that by war end the acres were even for both kingdoms.
April 23 of YR11 Unable to achieve victory, our Kingdom has withdrawn from war with Melee Weapons WAR. Our failed war has finally ended!

It was never a matter of winning or loosing. It was a matter of standing your ground and holding your heads high.
