HS !@#$ed around and found out

Everyone always get a turn at the spanking table We got it last time and are just returning to the virtuous cycle

It’s like what I said last war, HS decided to band wagon into an already humongous dogpile and now they want to pull this BS. Utterly disgraceful

Yet the facts are you’re in a lopsided dogpile and SRD, what was that like 5 years ago; good times

Tru - forgot there was another month on it Anyways my point still stands, why go out of your way to join an already large dogpile when your participation doesn’t sway the outcome one iota

Ngl, lost a lot of respect for HS for this move Why participate in an already crowded dogpile when you have no real axe to grind and fighting an old long time ally? Even Guardian sat this one out

At least Guardian sat this one out

Like I said at the beginning of the war, I give major props to GGO with their well planned and calculated gamble with their limited infra build post last war and coordinated attack 1 turn after DC. The gambit probably would of worked had it not been the phenomenal coordination on our end, this was the most fun I’ve had in some time. gg wp

People play these types of games for a long time, a ROI of 1-2 years is not that long in the grand scheme of things. This is not the CoD franchise where the next iteration comes out in 2 years and everyone moves on to the new thing. Not to mention there is no game mechanic where you can actually destroy someone else’s city. I can’t remember how long I played CN, but it was close to 8 years, and I’m approaching 8 years here; I’m damn glad I passed the 20 city mark eons ago

Taking a step back though, this was a pretty commendable action by HOGG I can appreciate the planning & strategic intent behind it, clearly this was planned immediately after the last war given HOGG’s limited infra rebuild and planned blitz 1 turn after the NAP. While this is shaping up to be a tactical loss for HOGG, it could be an overall strategic gain checking the growth of an opposing megawhale tier. This, paired up with the previous separation with TKR has been a very healthy development for the game’s meta.

You’ll always be my buddy, friend

Following through on a legit CB? yeah guilty as charged

ITT people who already made up their minds hating tS expressing more elawyer outrage Such a dead horse

We should set up a formal quarterly alliance swap, guardian for rose; cool?

PnW has finally been blessed by a resident evil 5 themed bloc

I think the baker messed up They used salt instead of sugar

Mines been going longer than 4hrs what do

Healthy development for the game, kudos

The real 9000 IQ play by HW here was getting Celestial to actually believe they weren’t interested in a war and actively ignore signals to the contrary cue that Sun Tzu quote

Welcome to the new era of bi-polarity

This. It was a practical decision , and I would’ve done the same. Even though I do fondly remember the EMC days, the repeated bipolar wars ultimately didn’t help the game’s meta Similar to a game of Diplomacy where you start with 7 almost but not quite equal parties; reset after a win- I would like to see the top alliances pursue a similar balance of powers approach to the game’s political meta. A game of diplomacy, after all, is not fun 1v1

Honestly don’t have an issue with this. A war just reinforces bi-polarity. Maybe this opens up enough dialog to shake things up diplomatically The game’s meta always benefits more from more multi-polarity

GG - wishing you guys a quick rebuild

I too like to play with myself
