This is an excellent question.  We should ask the 8 alliances that declared war why they chose to not target a small band of warfaring alliances.  Of course if they declared war  on the small band of warfare alliances the forum would go crazy about how they are attacking smaller alliances.  

I would add that even if you did expect to play a wargame without expecting to be in war.  You certainly can't expect to play a wargame have an alliance declare war and then not expect to get attacked.  

As i've said if you want to play a game where all you do is build up and there is no warfare go play the sims.  You can build a city and your neighboring cities won't try and rampage through your city no matter what.

There doesn't NEED to be a clash of armies in Illyriad, that's the big difference.   In many games you don't have much to do besides wars.

In Illyriad, it is possible competing for res while being diplomatic. I know of no other strategy (not "war") game, where it could have been possible for me to play 2 years straight without being attacked.

Yes, fighting may be fun, but many players prefer tournament.

If you want a fight, why don't you ask all those other small war alliance to band together and make a try? Why choose other targets than those?

Playing a war game without expecting to be in wars, that's just wrong, quote:  Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Orcs compete to control resources and territories; sometimes working together but more often meeting in a violent clash of armies.

Here is the demostration!
I'm sieging not becouse i'm bored but becouse it's my duty, i've NEVER sieged an active player out of the game, actually you can almost say i never razed an active player.... and you assume i do that becouse i'm bored.
I enjoy some fights true... 
i will not cry if a loose a few cities buti will leave this game the moment the pvp will be not possible at all or when the only fight will be the boring time consuming tournments.
Right now i've soooo many things to do in real that i would happily avoid any war, but it's here and i will fight as much as i can...that does not make me immature or warmonger, make me a player who know what is a game.

I understand what your saying  and you dont have to be sieged out of the game to get despondant enough and decide to quit..but it happens.

If I lose 50 milita attacking Puma's are the Dev's responsible for my loss, despondency and resulting rage-quit?

Everything is perspective mate. 

We all have different degrees but we have to meet in the middle sometime.
Harmless is happy with our middle. We think big picture wise, Illy is too (Puma's excluded).
not quite the same analogy there Llyorn...you choose to fight said pumas therefore you expect losses, some ppl dont play to expect to be in a war and get sieged and loose most of what they have spent months if not years building albeit everyone knows the risk.

Jewelry is not a subject I kid about Berylla.

Knitting? Well. My crochets speak for themselves. The needle is in your ball.

But you knew I would say that. Didnt you...

Sounds AWESOME.

Maybe we could do knitting classes in breaks to swap stories of who sacrilegiously placed emeralds and rubies on their latest broach design too.
LOL
I've got this image in my mind of a group of large male orcs trying to make jewelry and sipping tea.

I speak peace, but carry a war axe.

"It looked to me like most of the leaders of Old VALAR quit before the battle had even fully developed.  DarthVader98 and Magictronian fought in that war as members of VALAR and lost no cities at all."

TD you are pretty much correct in this assumption,.

Medieval Knights supported White in many sieges and siege defenses against H?.

I was a key military officer for MK in those actions.  The_Dude, El_Jeffe, Rupe, DarthVader98, Ratboy, Magictronian, Cesear, Xoref Kliss ... the list is long of players that lost NOT A SINGLE city to H? or their allies in that war.  Pasi fought, too, but left much later for his own reasons unrelated to that war.

H? wanted to let TMM live.  Shadar Logoth and I had a different end-game there due to our individual histories with the leader of TMM.

It looked to me like most of the leaders of Old VALAR quit before the battle had even fully developed.  DarthVader98 and Magictronian fought in that war as members of VALAR and lost no cities at all.

If you really think you will be perma-sieged, you would not waste your time fighting a pointless battle over digital bits of 0's and 1's.
