Simians Vs Sanctuary

[Elurin]

It's funny how in the same thread several people, initially flogger, states no one below top 10 can beat the top kd's strategically. At the same time jdorje says (I never learnt the quote-by thing):

Bio withdrew because they were significantly losing the war, and withdrawing gives a HUGE advantage in acres. In an even war, whoever withdraws is guaranteed to gain significantly, so kingdoms that don't care about winning have a massive advantage (side note, this makes the war win charts completely irrelevant) From the KD page it didn't look to me like bio would have started losing acres immediately had they continued, nor was the war fully unwinnable, but they were smart to get out at a good moment.

We did not only beat Sanc, but ended up with a lot of + acres after their maxgain wave and WD. We're not better than Sanc, but with 19 vs 25 hitters and enemy doing last maxgain wave, we outgained them in mintime due to strategical hits. Humility is a virtue, even if you're a top kd.
