Well done to all parties. Good to see The Great Trove War is over. |
Canes, were fighting for a Trove mine?
I was not. |
I don't recall RES even in THE war? |
I've heard Traumatic Brain Injury can cause memory loss. |
dementia..is the word, im sure...although im not quite at that stage...yet. seriously though...RES wasn't...you was at war with WE only. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me as I didn't always keep an eye on your diplomatic stance throughout the war.

i'm not sure why "The Great Trove War" causes so much consternation. it may have been suggested to trivialise the conflict, but in current usage it no more implies that the conflict was about a trove mine than "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields" implies that the War of the Rings was about a nice piece of farmland outside the gates of Minas Tirith.

Call it what you want. Not many other wars going on in Illy frankly, so for the foreseeable future referring to it simply as "the war", should aptly convey your meaning.
Cheers.

While RES declared formal war on WE only, once Consone alliances engaged RES armies in defense of WE, RES, reciprocated. This is why you encountered so many RES armies reinforcing tigre's warg pit, and there were RES armies assisting in breaking sieges at H? cities, and other sundry actions versus non-WE Consone.

To your point, they didn't call it the War of Pelennor Fields, now, did they?

Noted, that RES aided Tigre's city from my attacks due to the fact BSH was in alleigence with you in your declaration on us. I was unaware of your input in regards to movements against other consone alliances, this was probably due to your non declarations against them. This it seems, is a growing trend that I personally would like to see removed from warfare in Illy. your either at war or your not, but then I suppose anything goes in war?

If name "The Great Trove War" is not good enough to descrbe conflict we could simply call it "The Trove War" :)I think people like mention of Trove in name because it sounds nice.If war started on lemonwood bough people would still come up with some name that has nice ring to it.

I like the Great Trove War. It's a reminder of how quickly an otherwise trivial situation can spiral out of control.

History geeks will probably know that actual Trove war ended on 20th October, and "great war" ( call is as you like ) lasted till 3rd April. I vote for Soup war.
