Not really my lane, but reading everything and looking at the news it does seem a bit fake. We just left a war, and we did just a bit over min time.. maybe 52 hours or something like that. We have almost double the amount of hits on each other and way deeper chains. No one hits every damn province like 2 or 3 times and chain provinces only 10 times. Looks like people were going max gains all war, sure ghettos might do that, but if we are talking about "organized alliances" how would something like that occur? Either A. your alliance is just terrible. B. your alliance doesn't know how to war. C. Both A and B. D. Its a fake war and both A and B are true as well. As for attacking Bart, I have been playing for a long time off and on since the start. Been back full time for about 9 ages I think maybe more. Only had a few interacts with him, he seemed polite and he responded to my in game messages and usually accepted CFs in a quick manner. I can say less for the bulk of monarchs in this game that I have interacted with. No one writes people, if i get war offers just have a title of war and a subject of interested? Seriously? This is monarchy these days? As for alliances, guess no one played back when REAL ALLIANCES were a thing. I was a monarch in Battle Field for ages and ages, won a lot of wars. Never joined an Alliance but fought them all the time. Sucked when they would have 3 outside kingdoms raze into war if their buddy was losing. AOD is no real alliance, its just a tag and people that want to be part of something. As a community we need to foster better habits, better players and police one another or else we will keep getting BS like this popping up. Way to go Jeff and David on fixing this stuff, game has gotten better with every age since they bought it. Anyways, those are my thoughts.
