About Time Camelot Surrendered, it's the only option to save their alliance
We could have kept fighting if it would have gained us anything. We were never interested in destroying Nexus or anything of that sort (as the defenders) either.
But again, we got the terms we wanted and it wasn't worth fighting longer just to get it turned into a white peace. Everyone already has their opinions about the war so getting that didn't matter.

Hatebi would have been good on staff, and would likely have enhanced performance.
IMO, in theory, Camelot could have burnt Nexus to the ground (while still being rolled), but part of the issue was a question of whether Camelot burning Nexus to the ground would have been desirable.
As to extending the war longer; if you were actually planning to win the Nexus war and had demonstrated the IA strength needed to do so, then yeah, it would have been a good idea. Peacing out is disappointing, but your reasons for surrendering are understandable.
Not to say that our current IA isn't figuring things out, I do agree that Hatebi was a very dutiful member of our government. Not many people in this game can run an academy like her ngl. However, she really wasn't that good with member retention or activity and mostly left that to the people that are currently our Archdukes anyway (she probably would agree to this too so not throwing shade).
We probably could have done much more damage to Nexus over a much longer period of time if that were the goal. That definitely was our position when we entered the war. Myself and much of the government, though, were happy with the peace deal that Nexus was willing to agree to and, at least in my opinion, nobody would have won if we pushed to 'punish' Nexus for declaring war on us. Like Thalmor said above, Nexus was willing to agree to a lot of provisions we asked for even though we were "losing". We were also pretty tired of war since we'd been fighting since, essentially, March (I believe); perhaps if we were fresh?

Most of the active and competent members of Camelot left for TCW, leaving a skeleton crew in Camelot.
Camelot was able to deny, beyond daily damage (which was pitiful, tbh), at least 700 million in daily income to Nexus over a span of like, what, 20 days after the main war ended? That'd come out to 14 billion additional damage.
I honestly am quite disappointed Keshav wouldn't come back, though. With his skills, I'm sure the war could have lasted another 90 days.
As an active and competent member of government from before TCW poached our members, I can personally attest that we didn't lose much in the realm of activity and talent. For example, my only MILCOM guy that left was someone I was going to probably fire anyway once I could replace the position. All we really lost is archdukes of IA and FA (which, I'll admit, was a bit of a blow) and a few staffers they had with them. All of our current gov were low and mid tier gov before a few people left. We may have been a bit rattled and inexperienced when the war began, which I admit some in gov were, but it wasn't a "skeleton crew".
Anyone that would have extended the war longer should be considered bad at their job. We got a peace deal that both sides find acceptable, and there wasn't really much more we could have honestly expected to get from extending the war longer. It's not like we'd have been able to get Nexus to surrender or pay us reparations. Our goal from the very start of the war was to end the war on terms that would allow us to move forward with Camelot's development which we achieved.

wow I had to scroll down few pages to find Camelot. They went from 3rd to below 50 in ranks. No treaties. Uncertain future. If Epi won't be super active to make them survive and get up from their knees then I suppose they will start thinking about merger or will be slowly dying in Pantheon style.
Our members sold down to a low level of infra for the war and also had no military other than nukes (in general). We'll be back up to the 30, at least, pretty fast, no reason to worry.
It's not just epi either; all of our departments are staffed with active Archdukes (like myself). We may be in a very, let's say, interesting position at the moment, but we have no reason to abandon ship. We only lost 1 or 2 members during the entire war despite being outnumbered and down to nukes so I'm confident we'll have the members to pursue our goals.

It sounds like y'all are okay if we make Epi our Empress then. Could have just asked.

Forming one sphere is quite different from blobing 3 spheres (so far) together to fight one sphere. I'm sure you know this and are just doing what KT does.
Agreed, forming a sphere out of two existing spheres in order to declare a war of aggression is quite different from 3 spheres, with a log history of friendly relations, joining together in the interest of defense.
It's also 2 spheres blobbing together with the third appreciating the help. It's not quite fair to act like Rose chose to be at war...

the moment when you realize the second IQ was already called NeoIQ so it wouldn’t make sense to refer the third one as not to confuse people.

That moment when you realize the prefix 'neo' can be used for more things than the second version of something😇

Camelot apologizes to TKR and friends for not providing an ample warning that we would be doing something that was apparently so expected that we (apparently) needed to create a secret treaty about it. We know TKR has usually been led around by t$ so we promise not to judge you too much for getting yourselves into a pretty obvious dogpile situation. Maybe you thought t$ would miss you and help?
(Note: not official statement from Camelot)

not such a secret anymore
note how casually he mentions it as if embezzlement is a totally normal thing in camelot. Heck I used to think all alliances did it. Crazy how much brainwashing can do
Kinda like how one might start thinking everyone acts like a 14 year old if they were to spend too much time in the Eclipse discord 🤔

Too many fmr or current milcom nation balls in a single sphere. Was messing with gravity or something.

I think something should be done with the approval system. Maybe implementing something like decisions that cost money or resources but improve approval. Reset everyone's approval rating. Maybe have a combat and revenue debuff/buff for low/high approval. Food shortage will hurt approval, not income, but low approval hurts income. Have the cost of maintaining approval scale with city count and infra level.
I think this will make wars more strategic as you cant just neglect your nation and lose wars to avoid beiging your enemy. Keeping a decent economy will help win wars.
This will also make gameplay more interesting during peace since you have to log in to make sure your approval doesnt dip too low.

To all of you glad to see BK dead, please remember those of us who called it home.
Sure leo made you mad, and sure you wish us BK Knights well, but most of us would rather be back in our alliance again. This is a bad situation for everybody and the blame falls of many outside of BK and NPO.

Don't forget it has to be super simple to construct and when you build it, a randomly selected nation has to foot the bill.

[Peace] Moving Forward
in Alliance Affairs

Thanks for the good wishes!
We lost the 2ic but he really didnt do anything more than manage the offshore bank (which is important but very simple)
The biggest hit was losing our Archdukes of FA and IA but we've already replaced them (and I think we have been able to improve on what left with the new batch). I think the way in which they left made it seem worse than it was; all alliances lose high gov at some point and this wasn't any different than that.
