The bottom is hot

What? I think some of that wasn't meant to be reply to me, since we are in same KD, aren't we? :)

Yes but now you'll have to guess who. You get a cookie when you figure it out. :p

RJ, where's my cookie? This topic is derailing, maybe I should stop :D

[jo.t.reid]

Yeah... I don't know what happened there.

Btw hope your LD orc didn't take those learns to heart. I personally wouldn't have done it if Ballz/Mao weren't learned multiple times..

[Hustisya]

Congrats to both Spartans and Hipmunks for that long tough war.
Any summaries? I observed that while Hipmunks was busy hitting some of Spartas tms the latters dwarfs and an elf keeps growing strong and later it was obvious that theyre going to take the big lead again soon. Also Hipmunks nw keeps dropping even their tms. Were there massacres made by those Spartan dwarves?

The Docs after their deletions got dropped into more ghetto territory. They waved my kd but when I prolonged the hostilities and played the meter well they cf'd. And they were nice but I did forgot to ask why lots of them got deleted earlier. Lol!

No offense because I like you guys, but you do do learns in war. Maybe not you personally, and I respect that. But in fact it's why I like warring you guys: no BS. If you fight Spartans it's for real.

What else I like about Spartans is your guys can fight outside the pack. I've dueled with a couple, alone in the field, and you're very solid. I make it my business to isolate provinces and most others wilt one-on-one.

Congratulations!

This was definitely a good war, made it to 6 days! A fine example too showing how nw wins war despite being behind on acres.

Good call by their monarch to wd when they did.

You had a week to grow ~200 acres per province, don't make it seem too hard lol

And you can cancel out the "being waved" part of the equation as hipmunks took a lot more hits from CR than we did on you guys.

But you guys did straight up prep better than Hipmunks, there's no denying that.

Yup, Spartans won this in the pre-war preparation. That's probably our KD's biggest weakness and from what I saw one of Spartans biggest strengths. Simply too good for us in that regard, no question there!
And once we got through diplomacy tensions, they're all turned out to be pretty cool people.
I just wish Heaven would have buggered off and let us win the war! ;)

Great war, congrats to Spartans. They had the better gameplan and execution, and deserve the win. We did what we could despite the long odds, and I'm proud of our kd for putting up a good fight. All the best to the Spartans, maybe we'll meet again sometime in the future!

[Swagger]

I've always been of the mindset that learns are fine in war. If you get mad that someone is utilizing a game mechanic, it's probably because it is effective.
I get mad as all hell when I get learned in war, but I can't deny that it's effective in certain circumstances.

[Babethesnake]

I don't think I will ever have a kingdom like Ascension. I cannot get 25 guys to log on at the same time, and I will not ask them to piss off their wives by setting alarm for 3am so they can make a wave, or to stay online 17 hours. Since I consider them my friends, I will not ask them to leave the kingdom so I can try and find someone who will be online 17 hours a day. Instead, we will keep trying to play with the cool kids in Utopia and avoid the bullies that will beat us up and laugh at us and call us names.

Congrats to you Ascension! You guys are one of the better kingdoms we have warred against. Good luck the ROA.

Thanks for the compliment. My hubby doesnt get pissed off when i set 2 am alarms to AIAO. He just says, "War is heck". Either you play hard, or you die.... (p.s. being retired helps a lot)

[Osaze]

Ascension has a very good core playerbase and I'm really looking forward to warring them this age. Not calling you out, just saying if it happens.

[Sabbot]

Looking forward to it. I think it's more of a when it happens vs "if" it happens. Should be a good one.

[Persain]

Edit: hipmunks made a lot of cqs

really hard to win with conquests unless your undeads, typically it'd be better to bounce+1tap an attacker than conquest a t/m unless your sure u can bring em down in 1 wave.
