As a leader he really should not make such threats without some fore-thought and consideration, this shows an utter carelessness toward every member of his alliance.

There seems to be a lot of poor leadership floating around this war.

Probably because the majority of his alliance members hate the Crow alliances as much as he does and are willing to sacrifice as much as ATH is willing to sacrifice to get the job done. |
Or it could be that they realize that Crows are by nature fairly peaceful and thus unlikely to retaliate. I would speculate that EF "hates" Crows because we are in fact fairly safe to hate, in the sense that we are difficult to offend and unlikely to take insults seriously. Or at least many of us are.

SENSORS HAVE DETECTED DERAILED THREAD... RE-CALIBRATING...
If you are under the assumption that Illyriad is a pay-to-win then you reveal your ignorance. Illyriad has the possibility to become a pay-to-win but is kept from that fate by resource growth and blockades. Hypothetically you can withstand a siege forever. Realistically however blockades limit this. A city can not withstand fifty siege engines by using its own resources and prestige. It can however bring in resources through trade. When that happens then you need to use blockades. Therefore this is not a pay to win but rather, as TD said, "a pay to prolong losing".

The fact is that EF clearly holds some kind of grudge against the CrowFed, and I beleive is merely using Brids to troll against the CrowFed as a whole in an attempt to try and drag us into a war that does not involve us. This is after all pretty common behaviour for this player. Its clear that in the past, EF has given Brids reason to hold a grudge against him and is now suffering for that. I just cant comprehend how he would want to develop further grudges with us.

No, he has not left. He has, while continuing to serve in the highest position of Crow's leadership, joined a belligerent alliance for the express purpose of fighting. You can say it's a lesser involvement the coming out and having the whole confederation declare war, but you are far from uninvolved.

If the Crowilition was involved we would have declared war. We didn't. I left and joined separately. There's a big difference.

Rooks plural? It is true that Brids has joined Shade for reasons of his own, but please don't exaggerate the situation.
