Without a Clue was hanging out and set up for war looking for the right kingdom when they got a gift put into their lap. Sun Tzu seemed to be just out of a war but still interested. While Without a Clue doubted war would come of the ops, they were still hopeful to get a war soon. That hope paid off.
Sun Tzu did a land-grab wave hitting several targets. Those land grabs gave the button to Without a Clue who took advantage with a couple well placed hits before declaring war. While it was a short hostile relation, it was enough.

April 2 of YR2 We have declared WAR on Warfare artists - HOSTILE STFO!
Both kingdoms started their ruby dragons in hostile and Without a Clue was able to send theirs at the start of the war. Sun Tzu had some difficulty scrounging the money together and their dragon didn?t set flight until the 13th. That 9 hour difference helped get the war off to a good start.
Without a Clue's strategy was simple: the intel showed that Sun Tzu ran high offenses across the board so they decided to do full chains on their high offense Undead?s first before worrying about other provinces. This strategy was solid and effective as there wasn?t a need to change the tactic before the end of the war. Sun Tzu employed a similar tactic with a couple off handed hits to help maintain non UD growth during the war.
The first dragon sent to Sun Tzu was killed and a Gold dragon replaced it promptly. The gold dragon was not killed until the end of the war. Without a Clue was able to kill their first dragon on the 15th and never received a second dragon.
The war ended with plenty of room to go. The Queen from Without a Clue said ?the war wasn't definitely over by any means, but they made a last waved and withdrew June 3rd, yr2.
June 3 of YR2 Warfare artists - HOSTILE STFO has withdrawn from war. Our people rejoice at our victory!

While Sun Tzu did not wish to add to the article, Without a Clue was able to account for some of their good fortune and favorable conditions.
Without a Clue was better prepared and pumped at the time of the wave. They also had an advantage in magic which influenced the war even in the earlier age though runes were hard to come by. Sun Tzu had taken some hits they had claimed were from Simians or Fury. While there was evidence that some provinces were hit and possibly a little over popped, there was no SN to completely corroborate the claims. There is no dispute, however, that some provinces seemed to have taken some hits from somewhere.
The Queen of Without a Clue said the war could have gone either way and it was far from over. She isn?t sure why they withdrew. A message was sent to Sun Tzu for any comments from their end and the opportunity was respectfully declined.
