Here we have a war between two kingdoms who are in the top 10 yet are not in crown contention...
Jerks, not typically too high on the charts, found themselves larger than expected after two WWs, and with some exploring, ended up in 8th place or so.
Rage, with new leadership stepping in this age, looks for redemption and a win following a troubled start and some unfortunate ****play.
(inb4 Proteus tries to say that they aren't rage this age cause a couple players aren't around :P)
Jerks doubled several of their provinces immediately out of their 2nd war, and thus were still quite fat when Rage waved into their fort after some initial ops on Jerks' T/Ms. Rage is running a Human Sage core. Jerks has a Undead Tact and Orc Cleric split core. Both are running Faeries and Halflings.
After roughly a 2.5 day hostile, with the meter approximately 170-190, Jerks has finally pushed the button.
We have declared WAR on Casterly Rock Hostile (X:XX)!
Appropriately we were tagged as Winterfell for a bit.
Here are HOSTILE ONLY stats:
March 1 of YR5 - July 13 of YR5
108 hours of conflict
Total Attacks Made: 131 (+23074 acres)
Total Attacks Suffered: 174 (-29280 acres)
Net Exchange: -6206 acres
Here are stats after Jerks' initial war wave:
Total Attacks Made: 154
-- Traditional March: 129
-- Conquest: 2
-- Ambush: 17
-- Plunders: 1
-- Failed Attacks: 5
Total Attacks Suffered: 176
-- Traditional March: 144
-- Ambush: 8
-- Raze: 2
-- Learns: 1
-- Failed Attacks: 21
March 1 of YR5 - July 15 of YR5
110 hours of conflict
Total Attacks Made: 156 (+28964 acres)
Total Attacks Suffered: 174 (-29280 acres)
Net Exchange: -316 acres
No point posting the WAR ONLY stats just yet because atm they are completely one-sided; after Rage starts hitting there will be a much better picture of our ability to retake land.
As Jerks' T/Ms were so fat when Rage hostilities begun, Rage was able to get quite a bit of a land advantage in hostile through max gain. They also outhit quite a bit as you can see. Jerks was focused on hitting Rage's T/Ms down, who were quite low to start with, so gains were lower for the most part.
So far Jerks has killed two dragons in hostile with none sent back. Rage has a pretty big econ advantage due to their 7k bank, but they have a diminished T/M presence at this point (their biggest faery is 1500 acres), so we'll see what happens.
Of note:
-- Failed Attacks: 21
This is mostly due to the huge bank bouncing people 4x with armies in.
GL everyone, let's have a good one! :D
