You can try being like one of the monarchs in this thread to try for war. We were in an extended hostile with another kd and finally closed that out with CF but most of us were severely damaged since it never went to war and we never had a cf to recover. Tons of vultures and kds pushing to war us all of a sudden. we had a 2 prov advantage on the kd that we warred for sake of eowCF but we had average of about 6 epa across the board with many of us on less than 5 dspa. We were still told we had all the advantages :/ Ended up losing for obvious reasons.

^^ you can try that method and maybe some kd will war you just to get a cf to rebuild with.
