AGE 89 - Yr2 War - 6:11 vs 9:1 (DE HEAVY)

[W1nd]

There was a lot of speculation about the true power of the Dark Elf heavy kingdoms, as one of the kingdoms holding the highest count of DE 9:1 like the others has been having trouble finding war. Very quickly the rune production gap is closing as the warring kingdoms carve their way to the top of the charts. So far only 6:11 has been brave enough to take on so early in the age and it paid off!

I spoke to the Monarch (6:11) and several of the war contributors,

What is your name and kingdom?
Count from Team Count AH AH AH

What made you want to attempt what the community was dubbing the impossible war?
I had been doing waves and war this age so far. Went to bed with wave planned next day. Woke up to another LC spending all kingdom runes on RIT and us going to war over 4 learns. AH AH AH

How was your initial outlook going into WAR?
Leadership divided, one guy was extremely drunk, but barrier was cast so we decided to YOLO. Worst case get out after 2 days. AH AH AH

What was the hardest part about the Dark Elves?
The Dementors AH AH AH

Many in the community speculated cleric would be a best choice with Tactician a close second, how well did your tacticians perform?
Either choice Dark Elf will melt through. Tacts just cast CS and pray. But the extra wave after a couple days from tact, we thought came in handy. AH AH AH

What dragons and rituals were used by your kingdom?
Topaz Topaz. Barrier Barrier AH AH AH

When you reached MINTIME did you feel more confident, why?
Yeah after the initial Thanos snap we expected at start we were still hanging in there. At mintime we resolved to never hit button and we became pretty frothy for the W AH AH AH

How do you feel about Dark Elf, is it worth it or a trap and why?
No dark elf is great AH AH AH

Overall how well did your team perform?
We did great. Much whining at the OP Dark Elves for a few days, but we all rallied nicely. AH AH AH

Is there anything you would like to say to the enemy?
Superb opponent, they will do well in age. AH AH AH

Is there anything you would like to say to the community?
Great getting all these invites for war against people sitting in pump mode for 4 weeks and double our size AH AH AH

What are your plans for when you leave cease fire?
We pump man, we've had a total of 12hours not in war this age AH AH AH

How has the auto fill mechanic impacted your kingdom?
We had 23 at start. one guy asked if he could stay but choose name and choose race/personality. We said AH AH AH AH get out. 2nd guys we got from recruit page, he back after some years. He is already better than every other idiot here.

Any shout outs to your team?
Two shoutouts. First to our 3% factor we have in our kingdom. 3% of the time anything can happen. And second to no one intra-hitting x5 during war, they learned from last war AH AH AH

Wonderful Counts! Thank you so much!

Needless to say the kingdom and LS team at 9:1 were not impressed with the outcome of this war.

This was their take on the war.

We started a learn wave figuring any war was better than no war. after 12 hits instead of cfing, we got a cf offer followed by a pulled cf and thus held armies. 2 ticks later we received a FULL kd wave pushing the meter well over 100 points. Looking at what needed to be done and being out scaled in military 360k to 305k and on equal NW worth of tpa/wpa we realized we HAD to NM wave chain alone the first few waves instead of just nm+pure econ control. First NM wave went very well getting 5/5 armies out on all that were in that wave...and able to nm as the people from the learn wave came in. Rest of war not so much, we held up okay on nm's did decent econ control, but could quite match activity and ended up down 2-0 dragons when we realized it was a bit to much to take, so we withdrew.
