I wanted to drop in an update of FvA and Faction Play Combat in March, because the numbers were very impressive!
There were over 200 attacks by Alliances on Factions:

Congrats to ITG, who used their onslaught of attacks on the ORCS to win the "Five Books of the Arch Magi" mini event in March!
Remember: all of these attacks were 100% sanctioned through Faction Play. No one was offended or victimized by these attacks. In Faction Play, opted-in Faction players invite combat and use it as an engagement to spur on role playing and fun. Also, Faction Players do not attack opted-in Alliance Players' cities. If you are an Alliance Player and you opt into Faction Play, you only risk the troops that you put on the field of battle. Your cities are not at risk of attack or siege.
Factions attack Factions as well. ORCS and KELTS are at open war with ELVES, and there is a great deal of 100% opted-in military action going on all the time. These battles are not like PvP, which are about "dominating," "destroying," and "winning," but rather are tempered for creating a truly role-playing experience:

If you are a peaceful Illy player who has always shied away from combat and military because you didn't want to seem mean or aggressive, or you didn't want to risk the investment you've made into your cities, why not try combat in Faction Play?
Everyone within Faction Play are friends -- even the "enemies" are just role playing for fun. All combat is 100% consenting, and if you are in an Alliance, all you risk are the troops that you attack with or set up as an encampment. Moreover, you can improve your rankings with the Factions by attacking their enemies.
This is your chance to play the combat aspect of Illyriad without risk of major destruction and without offending or hurting people. The game developers spent a lot of time on combat because they hope that players will use it. Now's your chance!
Why not give it a try? IGM Jejune for more info. Thanks!
