Do you represent official Spartans?

And here I was worried there wouldn't be enough action (drama) to keep me interested.

Clear FW

[citadela01]

Wow ... so surprising ... who could have ever seen this coming

What an unexpected twist !!

[StratOcastle]

The Forum War or the Clear FW?

Who are these ghettos?

Will be an interesting conflict. Spartans have big banks that should be more or less UB at least at the initial stages. Pandas controls the 4-6K region wtih 13-14 provs compared to Sparta having 0. Sparta has most of their KD between 2.5K and 3.5K acres, with Pandas having a smaller segment between 1.5-2.5K. Sparta should have slightl more pump and wpa (but looking at the numbers now it's not that significant) whereas Pandas have more size and will commence conflict in fort vs Spartans non-fort.

What makes this conflict so interesting is that as described above the NW-zones barely overlap, both for TM-range and attacking options. This means that each side has to carefully manage these ranges.

Pandas could try to drop Sparta's banks into their top core range, Spartans could opt to drop Panda's top core into Spartan's core range. And then we have the relationship between Sparta's lower core and Panda's top-lower core. So many interesting battles, which means this battle might be fought on various fronts.

The battle could very much be compared to Carthage vs Rome. Sparta has massed infantry complemented by war elephants. Pandas a large contingent of elite legionaries superior to Sparta's infantry, complemented by lighter infantry (skirmishers). The question is whether Pandas can fix the core battle while enveloping Sparta's rear with their light infantry, or whether Sparta can make use of their weight in the middle compounded by elephants to break Panda's line, then turning around to pick off the skirmishers.

What makes this conflict interesting is that Sparta did not dare to fight NonPanda on their own, instead sending their allies to dealbreak and block NonPanda first.
I'm curious to see if Sparta is allowed to get away with such dishonorable play.

And Barts second Sparta Kingdom is taking Intel for them apparently. Bart is a dishourable scrub.

In case 42, or NoPanda or whatever, did not expect and prepare for this to happen then it's just their fault.
It should be clear to anyone that Sparta is not taking this age 1v1 as a KD but fights as an alliance. If Panda expects any less then they deserve to lose.

Should Sparta's victory be threatened still, after all the work their allies have done against 42, it's to be expected that they would use affiliates to farm them land and gc while stealing and hitting 42.

Seems like some members have grown too naive for how Utopia is played.

Win or lose I am in for the fun and I got a fair share this age already. Just stop ruining it with the multies and allies and w/e you use there.

Why would he?

Nonpandas by no means expect anything less. But non pandas will fight this as 1 vs bartandaffiliates. Unlike some other kingdoms nonpandas dont use friends or intel farms. We handle it on our own, and if we lose we know we lost honorably.

Let's continue from here and leave the nonsense outside. Any comments from Pandas?
