War Report – The Cigarettes Vs. [KP]

November 9th, 2008War Reports6 comments

Thursday evening it was… [KP] had reset themselves again and were surprised by a war declare! The Cigarettes #42 seemed to hate us too much to let us grow in peace. It was 21:10:00 and Atan was all excited. He got slightly disappointed though when he noticed that #42 was not even in warmode. His idea about getting defence was abandoned 2 minutes later, since we felt more like running farms than anything else.

First thing that happened in the war was the death of taNk. A 10k acre Draggy fell, his age caught up with him. A worthy end of a worthy life! This was a major blow in the face of #42, since they had to kill at least all of us and then some of us a second time to win the war now. Good move from taNk!Next step was the kill on a random farm by Atan. Green lines produce good morale. Since we couldn’t do anything at #42 except for throwing visions and intel ops, it was decided that a farm would be killed instead. Farmme soon felt our lust for blood, when Atan promptly slaughtered his 155 citizens in his zeal for green lines.

#42 saw these good moves and decided it was time for action! They started raiding poor roon’s raven with their huge 1000-2000 acre attackers. Roon couldn’t do anything at all but staying alive, and that’s what he did the first night. 12 raids and 12 updates later, roon still was alive and kicking, but for how long!?

Meanwhile, one of the biggest tribes in orkfia, a 5500 acre Uruk, managed to get himself in our shitlist by both raiding and BC’ing into our war. Two more nice OOW features were a full Spirit suicide on one of our tribes and an Oleg hiring mercs just to be able to hit into our war as well. We enjoyed the high level of hatred we seemed to have obtained by now, and took our acres back from the suiciding Spirit

The next 12 hours, the siege on Roon continued. After 24 hours of war, there had been 24 attacks on him of which approximately 21 had been raids. 128k citizens had been slaughtered in this process, but due to our economics roon’s citizens seemed efficient enough in repoducing themselves to keep up with that, though a mysterious ‘soldier boost’ had to be used sometimes. Roon was fighting back bravely with raids, hitnruns and grabs. This didn’t do much, but it kept the war a bit spicy at least.

After 24 hours we noticed that a truce had been offered. It was decided that roon would have to accept or deny it, since he was the only tribe warring the Cigarettes anyway. The rest of us were growing in peace and prosperity, cheering at roon and eating their food that was produced en masse. However, Roon was sporting once again (he seems to sport about 12 hours a day) and before he was back the truce had been redrawn.

#42 changed tactics that friday night since roon proved to be hard to kill. Instead of killing, they started harming us as much as possible by BC’ing our fastest Owls. Atan’s lands seemed real attractive for birds, since his Owl citizens were regularly visited by both BC’ing Ravens and burning Dragons. Luckily Atan has a tolerant mind, and he kept sending friendly messages, pointing enemy tribe leaders out that their Dragons seemed to have escaped and offering willingly to send them back later.

The huge Uruk that BC’ed and raided into our war earlier had been pm’ed by Atan as well and he stated that he was testing out damage on Owls merely. We didn’t like that he started to test the damage on Rept Hai as well though, so BiltesKrieg suggested that when Karma would catch up with him, he would not forget to pm him that we were merely testing t/m damage against dumb Uruks.

The final 8 hours of the war #42 showed their persistence and nerve. Not giving up at all, the harassing of Atan continued. Over 12k thieves had been killed already, and the attacks kept coming. Especially Newport prove to be a vicious enemy with his numerous BC’s. We started to be a bit tired of the BC’s and were happy this war would end soon. It was a nice present that #42′s small Raven, Camel, decided to suicide fully 7 minutes before the tick. I was pm’ing with Prince at this point but noticed the grab 3 minutes before tick. The whole IRC channel was slapped and 3 grabs were made close to the tick on the raven. After the tick Camel had 200 citizens, but we were not able to kill them since we were still full farms and didn’t have much mp/tp. A few minutes later he released some units for citizens.

In retrospect, #42 deserves congratulations for their persistence, acitivity, humor and boldness but at the same time it is obvious that they need some lessons in coordination, calculating and organisation. They will be taught by us. Next time

Winners: #42, #27, Prince, Newport, Roon, Atan, the Reporter (me).

Losers: The huge Uruk, the Oleg that bumped 5 times into our war (4 bounces + 1 grab), the suiciders and of course Acwder for grabbing me
