We actually had no cf almost all age. We only put a cf in place y5 or so.

Background is we had a long oop war that we won by min time but the other kd did not WD so by time we got out all other kds had used pool. After that we had a lot of wars with other kds as they just kept coming so we never used pool and it was mid-age.

After one of our fights Bb tried to wave us for land as we had no cf but we AW/LLed all their gains back, didn’t retal, and pushed autocf button to get a week cf. After that their cf with Sleepy was coming up and we were warring WSK. We put in 48h cf with them sometime during that.

After WSK war ended we were pretty big without still using our pool...I think we’d be t3 at the time if we dumped it. We exited eow early was prepping for Sleepy fight (their duration cf was up pretty soon) but they gave us 48h notice (their notice with Sleepy would be 72h). Given we exited war early and used pool we wouldn’t be ready for a fight with a more prepared kd (they weren’t trying to fight just trying to force duration cf) but could setup BB to lose to Sleepy bad and burn all their prep/resources however that was a FSu type play rather than a war win / age winning play so we took their counter offer and gave them duration cf which ended almost a week after their war with Sleepy. In hindsight we could have tried to call this bluff but it would be more of a FSU play if they decided to fight us and give up their crown shot to war Sleepy. In the past they have done some grudgy things and things that didn’t make sense so it was credible on their part.
