We were up by more then 3k acres at min time, but these guys really turned it around, and over the next 60 hours gained over 7k acres. They used a hybrid strat that was hard to beat because so many fireballs coming in from so many provinces. To top it off, it was really hard to FB the UD mystics, so the ones not chained had great economy, and when we chauned them, their wizards became unstoppable.
We did get in a PK, Which resulted in a hilarious " they killed kenny " thread in the war forum. I think that we chained a little more effectively, and we beat them to the dragon send, but with no pezzies, we couldn't recover from slaying. By about the 70th day the acre gap was about even, but the NW gap was over 1 million +. Over the last 2 days, they were getting in 200+ acre quad taps, with one unique for over 1k acres. Impressive! I've really got to hand it to them for turning this one around.
Overall, it was a great fun war, they're a very friendly group, and we had another enjoyable chess game between old frenemies.
