    Also, I can't speak for the other reporters, but I've only had 2 people bring wars to my attention, and one of those stories had to be dropped =\. If you see a war you would like covered, TELL US!
    I really would like to see Archangels Vs Modesty covered. They have been in a war for some days now

    The best strategy is fireballs spread around on every province, as opposed to chain fb one? If a kd has only 2-5 provs that can fb, is this still most effective?

    You FB as many as you can down to an arbitrarily low threshold.

    It's better to keep 10 provinces at 1k peasants than to keep 5 at 100 peasants (yes technically, keeping a province that doesn't kidnap at 1000 is the same amount of work as keeping a province that doesn't kidnap at 100 once they are there, but there is the additional overhead of bringing the province from 1000 to 100 initially given that usually, most wars don't last forever and you want to establish superiority fast).

    The primary goal is to stop drafting, make the income crappy to prevent building buildings, AID sending and dragon funding and sometimes to force an a/t on the defensive until he runs out of thieves.

    Doing it beyond that yields diminishing returns.

    Remember that bringing a province in the red for income to prevent attacking is not a realistic goal.

    Wages are cheap and a province whose income is in the red can be set for a day with a relatively small AID package.

    And given that what you kill is proportional to what they have, I don't believe you can PK with FB (not unless you chain really hard after bringing a province very low in peasants).

    yeah its almost impossible to disable Undeads in war.
    one guy sitting with 125 peasants 40 def specs and over 400 opa (full leet) no wizards no thieves left still he is alive. NS, FB, Propaganda almost nothing works and the guy never sleeps for 3rd day now...
    If troops arrive the same hour he attacks so he wont loose much.
    But yeah there are many wars out there and quick overviews or covers would be better than long detailed once a week.

    I find it hard to believe he really has 400 opa and still be under 115% max pop. With no thieves or wizards, just about everybody can op him with high success rates
    This is my province. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
    My province is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
    My province, without me, is useless. Without my province, I am useless.
    I must attack hard with my province. I must attack harder than my enemy who is trying to pk me. I must pk him before he pk's me. I will...
