Surrender terms for wars in Illyriad

The side that is winning has the choice - to cripple/destroy their opponent, or not.

The fact that you also chose to blame the ones who are being destroyed just compounds your lack of honor.

Wait, losing 37 more towns on top of gold and T2 resources is designed to only set an alliance back a month or 2 at most?  On top of towns lost during war, not counting towns exodus'd during war?

Not sure how you come back from that in a month or two, unless you have very large stocks of basics already stored in hubs and are willing to use quite a bit of prestige.

Weeeelll ... if you see the timeline of the two wars it is apparent that this is exactly what happened ... besides aren't you the one who has been bragging for a couple of months now of how battleworthy your account is, about at least 300% troop sov and how you are "stronger than ever" and in such a short time .?.

Sometimes bragging can seriously cripple your future arguments. Keep that in mind next time 

I don't really see why everyone is wailing about how the current environment is leading to the ruin of all of Illy. Joining in a war is not, by any means, a necessity. Epidemic himself is proof that you don't have to fight in a war if you don't want to.

Indeed math seems hard ... let us check the facts then

So this means that April - May- June you were back on your feet, so the timeline/prediction of setting "alliances back by a month or two at most" is accurate.
July - August - September you had returned to full battle readiness (troops do take time to build in this game) and were confident to wage war again.

Am I counting something wrong .?. And since when 6 months is a year .?.
