Nope, this is totally untrue. 1 of the main reasons for all the hoo-haas is that if AMA-CR go to war, Pyro can just pack shop and we can just take turns to VM till end of age.. Because there is zero chance that we will win the winner of AMA-CR. In addition, doesnt matter how good AMA/pyro is, a war vs CR rigt now is basically semi suicide with the land advantage + science advantage that CR has. This is even before AMA had ghetto razing problems. Even if AMA/Pyro were to have the best 25 players in uto and CR were to have the worst 25 players, war will still be lopsided.
To be honest, I am quite surprised that Elit readily extended his CF with Pyro before Pyro-Simians war and towards the end of AMA-Rage war. I tried to think hard and long why the f*** would Elit extend our CF?
I tried to see from AMA's point of view. They would need to shoot cows and whore their bottom chained after the war vs Rage, but from what I knew, they already had their threats CF-ed except Pyro at that moment in time. In addition, AMA probably knew that they have at least 1 week to double cows+prepare vs Pyro (excluding notice period) minimally before Pyro-Simians war end. That is enough time from what I calculated. Maybe it could be that Elit/AMA was afraid that Pyro-Simians war wont happen and Pyro will be waiting to 'vulture' AMA post AMA-Rage. But at that moment of time, Pyros knows that is a huge gamble because we would be basically much smaller in size but probably slightly more pumped.. and warring Simians was by far the best plan to proceed on with age.
So unless Elit/AMA made an oversight and didnt do enough calculations to know that a CF with Pyro isnt that neccessary or that they have some hideous plans which I dont know yet, I am more obliged to think that AMA wanted to play 'fair' with Pyro. Elit says he doesnt need to 'vulture' Pyro to win in a 'fair' 1v1 war, and I respect him for his frank opinion. Once again, this is just Pyro-AMA interaction. I dont know what AMA has done to other kingdoms.
If I am Simians, would I accept the deal that CR proposed? Letting me grow peacefully and so that I can potentially take out my arch enemies Pew Pew and Pyro. And at the end of the day, if I were to 'win' both wars, I will just have to agree on a forced war with CR where I will probably just max gains and WD mintime.
If I am CR, would I do such a deal? Pew Pew + Pyro are our threats when our CF expire towards the late age.. Why not make a deal with Simians to let them slow both of them down why I will just happily pump science and prepare to tax Simians(if they didnt win both wars) or War Simians (if they 'win' both wars, and this is easy war with my advantage). This is like win-win for me.
It is interesting to be in either Simians or CR position, and I guess I understand why both parties did such a deal.
Well, maybe both kingdoms think it's fine and fair for both parties. I can understand what both sides were thinking. But after I realised this that CR+Simiains had a deal together (i.e working together..) (I actually thought AMA-Simians were in an alliance in midage to kill meeee), from Pyro's point of view, I'm like wtf. I am not sure how Pew Pew feels. In fact, I have some inclination to feel that CR felt that Simians will beat Pyro and hence secure their age win from then on.
1 of the absurb conversations that I had with 1 of the CR guys recently (identity wont be revealed) was that he mentioned that Pyro should let AMA-CR war peacefully and Pyro shouldnt come and crash the 'party' (though once again, ama-pyro, ama-cr cf ends same timing). And his rationale was that CR allowed Pyro to war Simians and were nice to Pyro to let us war Simians.. Why so? Because CR didnt wave Simians and cause them to be out of range before Pyro-Simians. And that we should be thankful to CR for the cow acres + nett ww land bonus from Simians war.
I was like wtf? Your plan was to cooperate with Simians to stall Pyro and possibly for Simians to win Pyro. And CR themselves also got 20k acres from Simians post Pyro-Simians, and these were free acres unlike Pyro needing to get them in war (and we only nett 15k acres). I mean, yes I understand why CR+Simians were doing what they did.. but at least be upfront about it instead of using the excuse that CR let Simians to war Pyro, and hnce Pyro should be nice enough to let CR war AMA.
