What I see underlord doing is calling out tEST & TSG for not declaring in support of their ally. Had the tables been turned and UPN decided not come to the defense of EoS, I am convinced UPN would be the ones who'd be getting called out and you know it. I wouldn't blame them if they considered us enemies, we are at war with their ally after all. But I can hardly see how it makes us hypocritical for expecting them to enter the war and planning therafter. The opposite would have made us arrogant and foolish. Yes, Underlord has been more provocative in this thread than I would have prefered. But I don't believe in muzzling people for being opinionated and provocative, even for ministers , it might be how you do it in your alliance, but in UPN we allow people free thought and free speech. Might go so far and call it an inalienable right even.

No. What he is saying that measures were planned in case TSG and TEst had entered the conflict in support of their ally, TAC. And that we therefor expected a war with them. The reason UPN & DEIC did not enter the conflict earlier than we did is because we did not feel ready to do so. UPN and DEIC were not as militarized as EoS and needed an extra couple of days to get out of our econ builds and into war builds. We would all have struck at the same time but EoS attacked ahead of schedual when they saw TAC gearing up. UPN & DEIC however waited until we were good and ready. had TEst and TSG struck EoS before we took to the field, then yes, we'd probably be fighting them to right now. But we have no intentions of entering any conflict with them or anyone else for that matter.

Our reasoning for going to war is that we feel the TAC logs show that they felt tC was a problem that needed dealing with, and that the only reason they hadn't attacked us already was because they didn't think they had the capabilities yet. So rather than wait for them to build up a military and or a coalition to come after us in a war where they would hold the upper hand, we decided to attack them first. I can understand why many would regard that as a war of aggression on our part. But I hold to that our objectives in this war are defensive in nature and that self-preservation is our goal.

You can get a feeling for it looking at these stats taken from the wars declared the 2 days before UPN & DEIC came in But of course, it should be taken with a grain of salt because many of these wars didn't end until after we entered, and it doesn't include the wars started the same day but before UPN & DEIC declared. The thing that impresses me the most is that there's roughly 180 wars declared between them in those 2 first days

I'll try to update it at the end of the week

It was a slow day at work >_>

If anyone are interested, I've gathered some statistics showing the damages caused and suffered so far during this war: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LHAf6jI5DcirEzb_qePEvG6aSZLr4CZcb9WO3QjEhew/pubhtml#

I listened to it while at work today. It was interesting.

Well, I do most of my playing at work, so there's no need worry there.

Very good sugestion. I'd love to see more options with alliance announcements.

I do actually, it's one of the reasons I liked it so much

Honestly. I actually like "The War of Purple Aggression" I might not like the negative conjecture it paints on our side. But it is the most catchy one suggested so far.

Raiding is a natural and interesting part of the game. There needs to be a balance though, because if raiding becomes too prevalent, it can discourage people from playing the game.

I think this is a very good suggestion indeed.

Give them hell EoS!

yeah, I'm sorry emp, but you've got to go

I disagree, I find that bloc politics often add to the game. Blocs only become a problem when you have one bloc so large that it becomes neigh unassailable. But that's not happened here yet.

Maybe you could put a limit on how many likes you can give out pr day or week or something? It's not fool proof though of course.

We're not big on cookies no. We have waffles though

Sure, I'm always open for hating new things with new people.

In no particular order. Fallout 1&2 Zelda: A link to the past Zelda: Occarina of Time. Civilization II & V Monkey Island 1, 2, 3 Dragon Age 1 X:COM UFO Defense & Terror From the Deep and I'm having high hopes for Civilization: Beyond Earth

Don't encourage him to attack alliances atz, please

The problem with this is that it also allows for the raiders themselves to aided from their benefactors. Which to be honest is more likely to happen than it is that victims are going to get aid.

I'm Hansarius, or just Hans to most people. I like purple and I like most things geeky, except from anime&manga, which I hate. Also hello, how are you?
