"No amount of money is worth going to war over." "Wait, how much?" "I'm getting my rifle, be there in 15 minutes." Enjoy your war.

A nominee for War Declaration of the Year. Better plot than the 7th season of a certain Medieval inspired TV series. Good luck and have fun with your war.

Ok, thanks.

I don't see how making it more difficult for newer nations with lower city counts to approach the number of cities that older, high city count nations have is productive for the long term health of the game. Sure it's great if you want to fossilize the existing order of things, but that should never be an objective. Also... While it's true that resource prices have been in decline for well over a year, in reality, the cost of resources on the open market are actually recovering to levels they were several years ago. I don't see a resource inflation problem, based on the cost of resources at present. Again, why change? So that people who have stockpiles millions of units of resources under the current system can retain their resource advantage and increase their profits on the sale of existing stocks? Again, not needed.

True, given that we're both well over 200 now. But I do however enjoy youthful enthusiasm. 😄

Up front, well done, Nokia Rokia. I would not have thought NpO would agree to these terms, and in a way I'm happy to see that they did and got peace. That said... I'm not sure The Fighting Pacifists should be all that happy with Camelot right now. Epi insisted on that treaty point. It's an insult to TFP. As for the rest of this, Epi please now get over yourself.

Apologies for the delay. War ID is 1703985. Thanks for checking on this.

Been there, came back. Seeing that your nation is in VM, it leaves the option open. Smart. Goodbye for now, Hodor.

And if that is the case, fine. But a check of the server logs should confirm or refute that. I think it's worth a look.

I'd like to report a possible issue with Snorlax. Officially, it kicks in at 10 seconds until the top of the hour. So launching an attack at the top of the hour should theoretically be impossible. If so, then how does this happen (note the screenshot)? If it's a simple issue of a delay in reporting and he had the MAPs for the attack and it happened before the cutoff, it's cool (indeed I didn't actually mind getting beiged in the moment), but if not, then either it's a bug or something else. Thanks.

At this point? Clocks, moose, and salt. I think.

Except for the plot twist where there is no peace for Fortuna... 🙃 Congrats on peace and the treaty.

It would help to see how these projects fit into the larger picture post-rules revisions in order to be able to give better feedback.

New Project: Bountiful Harvest I'd need to do the math, but doesn't look to be worth it. ROI is such you'd be forever recouping the cost. Plus your population becomes pigs and war only makes them bigger pigs. New Project: Mars Landing So for your investment you get bragging rights, "cool stickers", and since when does Approval Rating matter? Now if the plan is for Approval Rating to actually matter in the future (e.g. extremely low approval ratings means military doesn't fight as well, population doesn't produce as much on your farms and in your factories, etc.), now you have something. New Project: Military Expansion Rewards middle-of-the-road nations (those with 20-29 cities), that have seen combat, with a free city. I like it. I have some concerns that we're already inflating the number of cities nations have artificially too much, but this helps out smaller alliances a bit where $500 mill+ to add a city to the nation of a member is a major expense. New Project: Advanced Surveillance Network Yes please and thank you, would love it more however if it also allowed you to build an extra spy each day (max 5 per day) and/or lowered the crime rate (which is something else that needs to be fixed to make it harder to control, but that's another thread).

NAC warred hard. You had some members from the old CN Valhalla alliance there, which helped. So you're saying that Blue Moon was cheap and easy? If I'd known that, I'd have paid him 10k gas to raid YOU. 😄 I pushed DEIC members to get Nuclear Research Facility after the merger. We were funding that for NAC members toward the end. Oddly, throwing nukes seemed to deter Arrgh raids. Of course these days people throw nukes because it's Wednesday and it's cloudy... An Acadia reboot is probably not going to happen (too many Acadia alum too high up in other alliances and happy, and besides TheNG is no longer around), but I'll never say never, if only because when I do, I curse myself for whatever it is I said I'd never do to actually happen.

I also remember UPN trying to mediate peace at one point and getting frustrated with both parties. Ok, it probably didn't help I was being a sarcastic ass. 😄 Fun fact: In the latter stages of that series of wars, NAC was talking to DEIC about coordination and other issues, which eventually lead to a friendship that evolved into the merger that created Acadia. So you could say that Arrgh was a major factor in that happening.

What the hell am I even reading here?

Vaya con Dios, former members of ASM. May you all find good homes.

I don't actually have a dog in this fight, and I'll concede your point that a bit more challenge might make it more interesting, but if I'm being honest, watching an old rival from the very early days of P&W, and one I never really reconciled with, that being t$, get dogpiled, curb stomped, and wrecked is...not boring. But hey, I'm sure t$ at least has enough money stored away somewhere to rebuild themselves several times over. They'll be fine. As for the rest of Fortuna, they should have been more careful of the company they kept. I mean, if you can get Rose and TKR not only on the same side in a war, but coordinating and teaming up to hit targets, that's some serious bad karma.

If there has been the slightest trace of smile on my face today, and my steps have been just a little lighter, it's perhaps because something is happening that I hoped would happen for very long time. Good luck and good hunting, House Stark.

ChatGPT to the rescue... Based on the themes you've provided, here are some title suggestions: "Whale Eclipse: Dawn of the Immortals" "Aurora Nights: Immortal Crimes and Whale Songs" "The Syndicate's Eclipse: Whales and Immortals Unite" "Immortal Dawn: Aurora Heist and Whale Sanctuary" "Whale's Eye Eclipse: Crime and Immortality" "Aurora Syndicate: Whales and Dawn of Immortals" "Eclipse of the Immortals: Whale Tales and Crime Syndicates" "Whale Song Nights: Aurora, Immortals, and Crime" "Immortal Whales and Aurora Crimes" "Dawn's Immortals: The Whale Eclipse Heist". Personally I'd suggest "Götterdämmerung as Written for Brazzers", but the AI's suggestions for more family friendly.

Enjoy your war. On another note, I think I'm going to need more popcorn. I sense the war decs are far from over.

Good luck and have fun.

All this sounds a little too "Cyber Nationy" to me.

Sup? 🙂 Scars ever go away? Mine are still cool, chicks dig them. lol There are logs some place that confirm my assertions, but once again, what's done is done. I did however want to set the record straight at least where Cam was concerned. Someone clearly held it against them at one point: https://politicsandwar.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hunt_for_the_Holy_Grail And that war came up during peace negotiations for this war. I'll let Cam address it further if they want.
