Oh, I can read. And indeed I read your comment of not all involved. Still. Keep us out of your proganda, it's not appreciated. The individual alliances duking it out are all that needs to be shown here. Implicating other alliances is just kicking hornets nests. End of story.

Read the description

Sin + confeds

Aesir + confeds

NOT ALL ARE INVOLVED

clearly stated

... and in fact others not confederated with either side might be involved.

I'm trying to figure out why Larn is all red, because last I checked my alliance was not at war. Please make sure you provide accuracy in your propaganda.

Are you a qualified medical professional or an acquaintance of Sigmund Freud or something?

You've just casually added what looks roughly like 1/5th of Elgean cities to the "red side" of the map claiming that it would make things look a little more even, and now you accuse me of being paranoid for pointing that out!

I don't even...

Every alliance we have fought has tried to show how they really are the disadvantaged ones, and padded some imaginary advantages on us. We attacked SHARK too soon. We dared to attack vCrow's Farshards citadel after the tourney, when they weren't at their absolute maximum for troops. Now you're next in line, padding the east Elgean end of the map with some confed members that aren't really taking part in the war, and padding our alliances with imaginary accounts that you're witch-hunting.

Sorry, nope! Your mega-confed is fighting a handful of SINdicate outposts that are 2000 squares or more away from the mother ship. Now that you're starting to gain an upper hand on one edge of the map, go ahead and inflate your opponents, to make yourself look a little more... ahem... victorious. 

That said, I am glad you are having fun! It shows through all the gloating talk about the razes on the forums and GC. Because admit it - you actually take pleasure in fighting us Star

Wow. You really are paranoid.

My point was that the imbalance is not quite as big as it appears for the reasons I stated.  I'm not actually enjoying the war - but I did enjoy the siege on Gragnog because it shouldn't have worked and quirks of fate tickle my sense of humour. That siege should not have lasted an hour.

There are also gold farms hidden in each others alliances - so the sindicate may well be fuelled by quiet membership in our allies alliances. We're looking for them but witch-hunting does not sit well on the goodie's shoulders. However I do agree that genuine popultion is a very good proxy for army size and this war is on a big enough scale for analysts to work out who has gold hidden where.

Hucbold, you can continue to bet on gold, permasats, population, roster bulk. I will continue to place my bet on determination, martial prowess, organization, camaraderie, ferocity. Maps and charts don't faze me. It is always my assumption that my opponents have an infinite gold treasury and infinite supplies. Wealth didn't save SHARK, VIC, Unbow in Newlands. Wealth didn't save vCrow in Farshards. Wealth didn't save EE in Gremont. Wealth will not save you now.

Afterthought: Here's an example

6bn gold in over the last two months funds a lot of troops
