    WAR ARTICLE: Genki fail in their Confections bid

    This was simply a matter of a kingdom looking for war, which Genki na Shinwa had been. They had been looking for several days and not having had much luck, decided to semi massacre wave Confections. While Genki na Shinwa were looking for war, Confections were in the process of sorting out inactives. However, they were a bit bored and although having a couple of province issues with one showing inactive and the other in VM, Confections decided to go to war and duly pushed the button.

    April 9 of YR11 We have declared WAR on Genki na Shinwa -Stay out plz-!

    At the start of the war, Genki na Shinwa were also dealing with a province in VM and had another province go inactive. With both kingdoms dealing with players going inactive and each having a province in vacation mode they just got down with business and looked to have a good war. Confections followed a very conventional strategy, they NSed before chaining provinces down to 500 acres and moved onto the other targets whilst focusing on keeping previously chained targets down. Their first focus for NS and chains were those provinces in Genki na Shinwa that had the highest mod offence and were the biggest threats to their unbreakable provinces.

    The plan for Genki na Shinwa was to control the middle ground of the war. They knew that Confections had three unbreakable provinces and had decided that if they could control the middle provinces of Confections they would get their win. While they focused on chaining the middle sized provinces they also focused on trying to Fireball and use other econ ops to control the unbreakable provinces in Confections. The overall aim behind this plan was to grow their own provinces large enough so that they could try and break the unbreakable provinces but this was countered by the fact that the large provinces in Genki na Shinwa could not turtle and Confections made sure to hit the provinces that were getting large enough to pose a threat to their unbreakables. They also used their unbreakables to massacre those in Genki na Shinwa that could op and hurt them along with AWing the mystic provinces of Genki na Shinwa.

    As the war developed, Confections were able to get four unbreakables along with pumping up a few other provinces in order to try and make them unbreakable as well. It was at this stage Genkni na Shinwa decided that the best course of action was to max gain wave before pulling out of the war, giving Confections the win.

    February 15 of YR12 Genki na Shinwa -Stay out plz- has withdrawn from war. Our people rejoice at our victory!

    On a site note, the monarch of Genki na Shinwa wished to raise a point with an issue on provinces abandoning and those coming and going in and out of protection/vacation mode in Confections. Genki na Shinwa had massacred one of the undead mystics who then duly abandoned before the same province showed up again in protection/vacation mode. After the initial wave the human province in Confections that had been in VM came out of VM and joined the war. The overall point of this being raised was that Glorianna, monarch of Genki na Shinwa, felt it was very strange and it meant they had then wasted hits, which could have been better used elsewhere.

    Good job to Lotus. Thanks to my kd mates for putting in the effort over a week of hostilities including our newest member Kessy. I hope Lotus won?t gloat over a mediocre war win.

    Point of fairness, they also PKed one of our provs, which BTW does not show up at all in the KD News, developers may want to look into why at some point.

    This is a perfect example of war not being about acres for all the other kds that insist it is. Our withdrawal had very little to do with acres.

    That said, despite any rumblings on the war forums, nice war Confections. Hopefully we'll meet up again =]

    I'm confused, why is massacring an undead mystic and having them abandon and come back in protection not good? That's pretty much as good of a disable as you can get.

    Also point of clarification, it was an undead province that came back out of VM and Genki Na Shinwa also had a avian come back at the same time. I can see coming back mid-war is a bit weird but what are you going to do, make them sit out if they are back from vacation? And since they were roughly the same size I don't think it affected much anyway.

    But good fun war, good article, and I didn't get chained for once which was a nice change.

    Mad Scottish - was this something that Simon missed in telling you or did you simply skip it over?

    We were dealing with inactives too - in fact we had our second biggest province absent for the 1st 5 days of hostilitities/war and then we had an inactive dwarf farm.

    So why do Lotus' inactive deserve a mention and not ours?

    Uh, no.

    At the time of our wave, your human province was in VM. That province exited VM during hostilities

    After we waved your undead province abandoned and went into VM - since the abandonment was going to happen regardless we could have used our attacks elsewhere. Apparently you didn't have some one lined up right away - don't see how the province would have been present during war anyway...

    So your kd essentially switched a fresh province for a not-so-fresh one. So for us, yes, it was wasted attacks, and I'm simply stating it as such. The biggest issue for us was our inactive.

    Our avian didn't come back mid-war - you pulled that value w/o out of thin air. It came back on the 4th day of war. The war was five days. Did I mention we also had a 270 k inactive farm?

    You guys did a good job - but this was by no means a stellar war in terms of activity for us either so there is no need to play the we were inactive but we still won card.

    I got PK'd also rofl.

    What's funny is I think I PK'd Euphism when i multi tapped him, coz he disappeared a couple of hours later. And then in turn you guys ended up getting me back.

    Thanks for the war, it was fun.

    Edit: I would also like to point out that we came up 2.6k acres in this war, so who really won this!? lol
