"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.

Sorry for the long delay, I don't check the forums much (really need to), I looked up the time and it was at :35, meaning 5 seconds after snorlax times out so doesn't look like anything fishy went on there.
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. 😄

The Coal Mines and Camelot and, their respective protectorates agree to white peace.
New Polar Order surrenders to Camelot.
New Polar Order accepts responsibility for the war.
New Polar Order attacked Camelot's protectorate to provide The Fighting Pacifists an excuse not to honor their treaty.
New Polar Order acknowledges their participation in the great war of 2019 led to players quitting the game.
New Polar Order agrees Camelot has been mistreated and unjustly allocated a disproportionate amount of responsibility for the great war of 2019.
New Polar Order denounces their former diplomats Bohemond Hauteville and WSxPhoenix.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...
QuoteNew Polar Order attacked Camelot's protectorate to provide The Fighting Pacifists an excuse not to honor their treaty.
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.

Do you have a war ID or anything I can use to actually look it up? Also, for turn changes the game only stops from :50 to :30, for DC it's much longer. Odds are they either attacked after the snorlax ended or they got lucky and the game was slow enough the request passed the snorlax then didn't complete until :00 happened.
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.

This subforum's rules on replying:
@George Clooney I'm not sure if this is the actual reasoning, just a hypothesis, but the game's reporting may just round times. So 01:59:30 AM would get rounded to 02:00:00 AM.
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.

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

People acting like there are not other things in the pipeline. As I explained elsewhere, the war rewrite took longer than expected.
Once that is done, new player and war changes are on the horizon.
Projects are easy to code and implement and will always come out more often.
Projects are no longer viewed as adequate to be a main tool for a resource sink. Consumption rates will likely need to be reviewed across the board and this war should give us some more data for that.
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).

Yeah I remember. We raided the living crap out of DEIC, you guys actually fought a bit better. Also I will add a little fun fact if you can possibly remember, the merc alliance Blue Moon I hired to raid you guys sometimes; I bought with a mere 5000 gas.
Once Acadia merged together you guys finally started to get a break for a bit. By the way, ever going to reforge Acadia?
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.

George here has been through a fair few of these anti-Arrgh coalitions.
I still remember the forever war against North American Confederacy.
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.

Honestly how many alliances are needed to take down Fortuna? I mean like everyone, !@#$ Eclipse, but at the end of the day how do people find these kind of wars entertaining is beyond me.
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.
