So, two full weeks in and I can report that this exercise is succeeding in every way. Both alliances are more active. Members are having fun. Some are worried and sometimes frustrated but those are only temporary emotions when they realize the damage is minimal and that they can recover within mere days as opposed to the months sometimes required to recover from "real" Illy war.
Lessons are being learned all around and the allies in both alliances are bonding in ways that otherwise would not be readily available. It really is good to see my extended family in ~NS~ as well as TVM, living up to the potential of the game, putting themselves to the test, embracing every aspect of the game and enjoying the fruits of their labors.
Thanks to Skint Jagblade and HAGER for taking the reins and running with them!

/me giggles. I knew I saw Skint-Orc tip-toeing around people's castles, and peeping in their windows. Now I know why Skint giggles so much when peeping in Hager's windows!!

There am 21 easy city for TVM to win. Osyazet, Wilber, August, Dave. Most am alts of big TVM player. Am TVM having hard time for defeat itself? That surprise Jagblade. TVM players so good at do other thing to themself! Not be sad for TheImp. Him cities are 8 easy target for ~NS~. Trivium use 10000 troops against tiny 8k pop player; why Hager surprised that Skint use 20000 troops against 121k pop player? Him city all huddle together. Even elf riders dangerous in big pack. Maybe Jagblade will send less next time, but if him Imp fight, Skint will let big ~NS~ players use cavalry, and thief, and arsonist, and nasty locusts. Be sure tell TheImp him should fight! Him little bit safe after Myr order Skint not be 'indiscriminate'. It false charge, Skint discriminate all time. But her say Jagblade cannot be extra bloody for no good reason. Skint knows, be bloody *IS* good reason for itself, but even scary lady elfs not always appreciate kobold scientific method. Empirical better than theoretical. Build empire first, theorize about why best later. Jagblade leave Hager with thought for when him move south: http://www.movieweb.com/dvd/DVAvCEAElC58DI/sword-fight You fight like a young man: eager to start and quick to finish! |

Just to clarify, we are using all available tactics and units except catapults. That includes diplomat units like thieves, sabs and etc. Some members, on both sides have taken serious hits in that department. This exercise is as close to real war as we can muster, without the real loss of cities.

This is really a great idea. We might copy it one day in TOR-U. We plan focus more into military training as well and hope to try our strength in competition with you guys one day!

True HAGER and lvl20 walls might take alot of stone to rebuild but they only create 20 population total so no big population loss and alot of good lessons learned before "real" war teaches them the harder way!  Such as Osyazet's big mistake--never capture a city on a plain which is surrounded by great defendable siege spots, and then name it after those very advantageous sq's (Two Mountains)! Exodus those asap.
