While looking for a wave target, Simians KLA came across Fury of Absalom. Observing that Fury had adopted a dice build with some armies out, they commenced their wave on Fury with 17 hits on March 2 YR1. Utilizing dwarf's capability for swapping builds at practically no cost, Fury switched their builds for war while minimizing their land lost by ambushing Simians's orcs and sending a few hits into Simians. A ruby dragon was also received by Simians from Fury while in hostile:

Fury took 30 hours to fully convert from the first hit they received. Following which, they declared war on Simians KLA and accompanied this with a ruby dragon, as Simians had slain the first:

Simians left the second ruby drake untouched as Fury's economic advantage indicated that they would be able to fund another dragon if necessary. Wanting to maximize the gains and military losses advantage they had, Simians gifted Fury with an emerald dragon which was slain 4 hours after it was received.

Simians opted to chain from the get go and focused their hits on Fury's halflings that oversent, as well as dwarves with high offense. Fury started off with controlling the top tier, which was dealt with by Simians fireballing Fury's larger provinces to prolong the building of unbreakables. According to Simians, most of Fury's large provinces were on 5k peasants or less, which had a negative impact on their economy. This statement was disputed by Fury, which stated they had several large provinces with plenty of peasants. NM/NS runs were also utilized against Fury's larger dwarves which proved to be key in allowing Simians to hit Fold, Fury's killer.
Fury's advantage over Simians lay in the fact that they were able to lead with a war wave whereas Simians had their armies spread out from hostile. They utilized semi chains and directed their economic advantage toward building unbreakable provinces and making safe hits in order to control the top tier. During the war, mid-tier acres ended up transferring to the larger provinces of Fury, and gains began drying up for Fury. Stating this to be disadvantageous to their age goals, Fury cited these reasons as being paramount to their choice to withdrawal.
Fury states at the end of war, 8 provinces had achieved the status of unbreakable, as they were making safe hits with armies out. Simians countered this with the statement that only 3 provinces were unbreakable at the end of war.
July 4 of YR1 Fury of Absalom has withdrawn from war. Our people rejoice at our victory!
