I was looking forward tot epic long walls of text from flogs and asd :-(

That's a big odd Tex.Quote:

I think we also ran a bit higher sci on our big provinces so had more sci at the expense of gc stocks. When we finally took BB's recon about 5 days before the conflict, they already had around 200M gc while we were on only about 40M.
Despite that, we had a decent acre advantage due to our furious bottomfeeding instead of gc stocking. We also were able to put up a large faery sage cow and a faery rogue secondary cow shortly before training up before the conflict. They put some extra land on a human and their halfling rogues.
Due to having less prep gc and more acres, we were also a bit less trained up and therefore had better kingdom econ once trained. When cf expired, we had ~1 day of fort left while they had 2 days left. They started by 2x razing our highest offense avian and we 2x razed one of their halfling rogues. We did a couple more razes in fort, giving them unfriendly. When we exited fort, we trad marched the same halfling a few times waiting for BB to exit while fort staying at unfriendly on the meter.
It's too early in the age to sit staring forever and we had the size advantage so when BB came out of fort, we went agg and basically full max gain waved them. This killed their elites sitting at home but also left us open to them declaring and chaining us. They waited a tick and did a couple hits back and then declared and chained. We sent a gold dragon at this time. They didn't send a dragon but had Sapphire started earlier.
When our troops returned, we also chained but it was much less effective due to the wave times and our overall larger core being forced to bottom feed. We also had less attackers to chain due to our extra faery's and them getting 3 of our hitters chained in their free war wave. We didn't have very good chain targets and although we tried to ambush what we could, they had incoming land only a couple ticks after our chain so rebounded quickly. The same issue continues to be a problem. They can chain us right after we send out, but when we chain them, they get home with new land quickly after.
We could hold to try and fix this, but that has problems of it's own. We knew it'd be a problem with initiating, but we felt that pushing the fight was best overall even if staring longer could have allowed us to be in better position for this fight.
Our cow has been able to gain some so far without being hit while theirs are mostly multi tapping our biggest core attackers.
We have an ops advantage but they are running high wt's and cs so ops haven't been as significant as they could have been. tThey have fought well with quick chains and good activity whenever needed, but I think our "random" overall activity has been even better. Flogger has been a beast though and we rarely see him log off.
Thanks for that update ASF! Very good insight to the fight, best of luck (well I wish you slightly less than I wish for Anna Flogger Kendrick)
Thanks for update ASF. Good luck again to both!
Btw, do you want to give your KD a name or should we call it ASFKD henceforth? Might become hard to shake off after it gets sticky. :) It probably already is, but still time to give yourself a proper name!
Thank you for the update. What are the undead personalities if you don't mind saying?
NW gap seems to be increasing despite better initial chains from BB, interesting
I think you have to factor in that BB slayed 1 more drake and is "1 drake ahead in terms of NW".
NW gap hasn't really changed a whole lot lately. It bounces back a bit between 'waves'.Quote:

Them having the bigger banks (which are unbreakable) and more T/Ms keeps their NW more stable, so ours bounces more.
Updated summary, both waves are a bit spread so hard to say both have done x waves.

It was obvious it would come to this: most of BB Avians vs all of ASFKD Faeries. The eternal question of more attackers vs more t/ms. Can 8 faes op faster than a kd of avians merchants can repop and add back offense? Either way, it'll be a super tight battle.
My only role is here to periodically wake up and send some food to flogger.
and you're doing a wonderful job at that, I'm sure!
Actually he sux at it and needs calling!
Eventually some of those avians in BB will populate acres and grow fat and juicy allowing ASFKD to chain them much better. They won't go UB. If ASFs faes are UB I would send a message to freakstyle asking how to take it from there ;)
I just like hearing your sweet voice.Quote:

Updates please. Flogger called and asked if he could sit me this morning so I am going crazy not knowing what's happening. When the flog man calls and asks to sit your prov you don't say no :-p
Flogger reminds me of Captain Kirk piloting the crippled Constellation all by himself lolQuote:

Another summary update.
As there are razes being used in the war, the summary isn't entirely correct.
The +/- gains for both are a little off as in hostile we've lost 516 acres to razes and ASF lost 252 to razes.

The 50k free books and 1500 elite credits (value 300k GC) is gonna be totally worth holding out for the war win, if it comes to that, since the median will be close to 500 acres soon enough.
fun war.

Ouch, there goes all the elites he has. Rewhoring time!
Flogger its your old friend Razz. Email me at my username AT Gmail fool! Long time bro!
Great war, historical grudge, am rooting for flogger natch. And who cares about war rewards if you get to crush Absalom ;)
BB: 6,303,374gc (-2,586,905)

Major props to ASF and the crew here. Flogger is always a tough one to deal with and they are doing a great job.
Bad Santa has Beastblood has withdrawn from war. Our people rejoice at our victory!
Beastblood fought very well and used excellent tactics with good execution. We made a few mistakes but had good activity and strategy. You know things are going well for you when you hope that the other kingdom doesn't withdraw and you get more time to war.
It was a fun war for Emeriti and we can't complain when we defeat the back to back crown winners in our first war as a kingdom.
Protector & Flogger,
After this war, I can completely understand why your kingdom has been the b2b crown winners - your execution was incredible. It was tons of fun, but I'm glad I don't have to try and cast another MS on you (and whoever is playing your third cow) for a while since it was such a pain to land. :)
Thanks especially to ASF and the players in our kingdom for pretty much staying up all night over 4 days to compete! Like ASF said, it was our first war together (no wars last age), and it was one hell of a test for us.
-Leshrak
BB crew awesome job! That was a tough war and an awesome one after returning back :) This war could have gone either way but I am glad that we won it :)
Congrats Emeriti for ww.
Would love to have more insights regarding what ASF mentioned on Flogger's "excellent tactics with good execution" and his own "good strategy" to be shared with the community.
No offense to any parties but all about this war is faeries, the rest were just details from a spectators viewpoint :)Quote:

Congratulations Emeriti.
Gg, well played. I'll post a summary and possibly some more details later
