I find it annoying that people discount the effort, activity, and coordination it takes to even contend for the war crown. It's been said on these forums that there aren't enough kingdoms competing, but those same people dismiss the difficulty of getting a war crown despite the fact that it's the most competitive aspect of Utopia.
To those people- If it's that easy, why don't YOU get control of an average KD, master your setup and strategy, and lead them to get a 7/7 (or better) war record. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you might get an easy war or get a lucky break when a larger KD decides to WD. But chances are you're not gonna get "lucky" 7 times. Especially when you start getting 4/4 and up. With more land and honor each war win, the pool of KDs that would even be willing to war you only gets tougher and tougher.
People use the fact that one particular war seems lucky (emphasis on "seems") to justify their preconceived notion that the war crown is meaningless. They don't consider that to even get to the point where one war win might give you the crown is a feat in and of itself.
But yeah, Masks must have cheated, why else would they have a good war record?
