The conflict with Pyro lasted 4 days..
I was an early age war. Early age wars, PPA is higher, and NWPA is lower.
This makes dragon funding a lot quicker in both directions - cheaper dragons and more peasants on provinces then normal.
Pyro's setup obviously has more TOG, but the notion that we had less peasants when they had setup all but 2 of their faeries as hitters and .. just no. I'm not sure if they were on 50% of our peasants by the end - it may have been only 40% of our peasants or perhaps as high as 66% of our peasants.
Pyro most certainly didn't have a peasant lead, but they did have more TOG. Pretty easy to see how the dragons were even///
We had FBed their 2 offensiveless cows down to 1k peasants and we were chastity locking everything. We were getting 6 hour chastities with the elf bonus + high guilds early age... pretty easy to figure out who wont he peasant battle.
The reason Pyro got a dragon lead going was because we bottlenecked on runes at the start having dumped ops onto Pyro right after the dumped pool and went fort(aka nuking the peasants of the xplored provs to 1k and locking them with chast). It took us about a day into war to get the elves ops going again and once we did it the depopulation was on.
Pyro effective had 1 faery sage with good tpa, 1 faery rogue with good tpa, and not many other ops to speak of because the rest of the faerys were setup as hitters.
We had 6 Elf mystics setup as pure T/M...
And Bomb, I really hope you live in the US, because I will 100% sue you for libel.
There isn't any point asking Pyro where they got their dragon gold... I have no evidence to think they got funneled GC and I'm not a lying POS who makes **** up for propaganda purposes. Maybe they did but I don't know that for a fact... no point to stoop to Pyro's level.
