Someone asked for a silly update! As SillFoam says, things don't change superfast no more. What's happend is that we sent a sapphire to replace the emerald, they sent a gold back - even with no tog elf/princes with 100k peasants can fund! They also killed our sapphire meanly. However, that made their T/M's drop a bit too low in def, and one of the elves were broken x2 and now bounced a few times so def is quite low. Another elf was AW'd 1 wpa+. They are bouncing our big halfer/rogue to try to accomplish the same, not done so far but maybe they will manage and that will hurt us a lot if so.
On the bright side we have removed peasants from basically all but 5 provs, an orc popped back up to 35k and is now at 700 acres and will lose all defspecs too. We control the top avians with FB. On the less bright side they are equally able to chain down any of our guys that gets peasants, and their elves/halfers can do a great job at MS/riot coverage on our attackers. We're steadily gaining acres, and can take much more as the top 6 avians are very breakable on 10k+ acres each, but right now we're letting them sit in MS without retrain ability. Nw diff down from 5 mil to 3.5 mil last 3 days - but it's still recouping back the nw damage they did to us first 2 days.
All in all it's a great war, much activity and smartness from both sides. I'm naturally highlighting our accomplishments a bit more in the summary, they can do the same when they bring forth their view.
