Brief summary
There was a yr10 cf in place and middle of yr8 simians began waving a kd (both of our only other war target) and ended up taking a lot of acres from them in a weird hostile/retal situation from the sounds of it. Resulted in us (shinra) being 60k acres, them 75k, we grew to catch up with them, they grew some more, we grew some more, ect all the way up to yr10.
We noticed them at start of yr10, when noticed expired they were in fort at 99.7k acres, we were 85.5k. We initiated hits giving ops and eventually button into fort. They declared about 6-7 hours after we gave button.
Dragon situation - we sent an emerald in hostile (actually, sent it in unfriendly instead of hostile by 1 hit accidentally.. bah), they slayed dragon before declare and sent a sapphire. We slayed sapphire abotu 12 hours into war, both kds dragon free now with simians funding gold we're funding sapphire.
We're dw/sage and orc/cleric with elf/mys and fa/rogue + 1 mys, they're human/sage and ud/warrior with 2 fa/mys 1 fa/rog 1 ha/mys 1 ha/rog.
Their second war wave just happened, ours coming up, will post summary following wave.
