There has been so much discussion about this war now. The bottom line is each side believes they are in the innocent and is trying to blame the other side. To be honest, who really cares? It is a war. It was declared. Get over the fact. If you are an alliance leader, deal with it and if you are not, do what your leaders want or go to another alliance. If you are not involved in the war, make your own thread to keep yourselves occupied or join an alliance that is involved in the war so that your comments actually have some bearing on the situation.

Sorry for the vent but having to read all this he said, she said, I think, war is bad, war is good, and other comments over and over with nothing new being added just clutters up the forum for interesting stuff like the new magic, best trade options, which alliance is best, and other things. There is nothing dramatically bad happening with this war. Illy is not changing from anything it ever was. People involved in the war at this stage are doing it because they want to be in the war. If it was such a massive game changer that everyone is afraid of, people would have opted out of the war ages ago.

I don't entirely disagree with you.

GC, AC and Forum chatter and banter has certainly increased as a result of the war.  It has also enabled the development of tactics and ideas that otherwise would not have been explored.

However, Illy's main strength is its depth and variety - if we were in a permanent state of 'world war', then much of this unique stuff would go unused because everyone would be focused on building troops rather than solving mysteries, discovering research etc, and it would be much like any other war based game.

So, once in a while, I agree it can shake things up and bring some different excitement - but if it goes on too long, players may get bored and go and try some other war game.

Another thing I'd be interested in seeing, is the impact the war has had on prestige spend.....

gosh there is a cliff near by, lets see who jumps..alot of peeps follow into this war due to an agreement they were not involved in making, they just followed their leadership...lemmings are cute furry animals that poop where ever they want....if this is played right maybe the leaders will have to step on these droppings and the fightin will become more against individuals and not the lemmings...maybe peace can be achieved if only the leaders are targeted, maybe the leaders should be killed first...gosh i sounding like a leader,  putting on red war paint with gold glitter...i am a total lemming and proud of it!
