Let me address some issues that have been asked around.

First, congrats to BB for the warwin. They definitely deserved the win + those juicy acres. But was there really any doubt in the win in the first place? I mean, once Pyro dropped out of fort stance (we dropped 25hrs earlier than BB max fort into normal for more flexibility and timing vs BB still having homes and not read to 'punish' Pyro early dropping of fort), couldnt have BB just done what they did.. instead of waiting like ~3 more days... BB dwarf sages were superior in every single aspect, and most importantly, ~1500 average bpa w/ +200% thievery science. Their cows also had +200% thievery science. It was so evident that after ops were given to both sides, BB superior theivery mods will easily triump Pyros. Both in stealing gc+NSing the weakest cow. Plus BB had more military on the cows front. Was BB really afraid that we will soak cow hits just to keep 1 sided MS? It's not possible.

Most people in Pyro knew that this war is definitely against our favour, but just didnt like how things are being dragged out so slowly. Nesta & me already knew we were just going to declare, and most probably min time withdraw. We were going to be nice and entertain and give BB a war that they deserve, and not do some shenanigans intra-razing or farming out to copetitors etc. We dont intend to start that kind of reputation/style. Thats why it was so frustrating waiting like ~3+ more days outside of fort just for action to really really start. It was like waiting to get 'farmed'. That was what made alot of us irritated.

We didnt expect to lose 18.5k acres overall, that was definitely not planned. But we expected to lose a decent sum.

To those haters that say we dont deserve to belong to the top, and we shld go back to the warring tier, and that we farmed out. Well, we decided not to be lame and intra-razed etc etc, and last I checked, losing 11.6% of your acres over a 9days hostile+war isnt a farming out. Or are you just jelly that Pyro lost acres the equivalent to the size of your ghetto kingdom? We have won top wars before.

Mistakes from Pyros regarding this hostile (prefer to talk about hostile only, as war was already a foregone situation).

- missed out our free hit on the 2nd day. we wanted to do something really really interesting to stir things up quicker by doing a raze from our smallest cow to their smallest cow. 600+ acres + massive troops lost. any retals will allow our 6k dwarves to raze their smallest cow too. BB also would find it hard and risky to drop fort and wave in >2x to give relations button + there would be gbp on Pyro's smallest cow. Pyro could then just use 2 hits w/ our 6ks to raze further and still not give relations.
this didnt go through due to activity problem of that particular cow. it would have been interesting cause we still would have like 48hrs before max fort drops.

- when we dropped fort to normal, we used our free hit and then switched the gold drake with a sapphire drake. should have left the gold drake there

- should have been active during building swap dates, and just kept our 30% homes just like what BB did. in the end, we were all on ****ty ppa while BB still had their homes. it didnt have much effect on BE%, but cause us to bleed gc faster than BB

- should have drafted deeper. We went like 1-1.5ppa average on the , cows at -1ppa.

anyway, i was inactive for like most of the hostile/war. had rl issues to settle. so maybe my viewpoint isnt that accurate

once again, congrats BB.

and to all the haters, thanks for hating <3
