Ahh, great, we got into an acre-struggle with 27:48, which is like a retal that got out of hand.
Then my Kd sh!ts its pants, because it doesn't want a Hostile with 27:48, so I was forced into declaring a different Kd this afternoon. But only a couple of hours they declare Peace on us, with a message from their Regent saying they don't War. And what do you know, a few hours after that, I get a message from a province in the same Kd saying that we should continue and that he wants a War.

I love this game...

[Lemmy]

*sigh*
i wish my kingdom was at war

now that we're finally preparing for war, there comes a new province, but experienced player, saying that we should wait another 2 weeks before declaring...i hope the king doesn't listen to him...hey, don't you guys have any friends on WoL, maybe they can declare on us

[Zopperoni]

Wait two weeks?!?!?!

If someone in my Kd dared say that, he'd be killed

[Lemmy]

well, fortunately the king doesn't agree with him, so war is coming

but it would be after the weekend, since most of them can't play then.....i could raze my thieves dens and built mage guilds to get more wizards....yep, that's what i'm gonna do...

[Lemmy]

30% mage guilds..very soon

But you haven't warred yet, while we've warred three times already, with a fourth War coming soon.

Yep ... we decided to be NW-whores this age and so we're in the top 50 on BF. In previous ages, we have been honor-whores (finishing top 50), and we even had an age where we somehow finished in the top 50 on all 3 lists (nw, honor, land). We had a first-age newbie attacker reach 9000 acres a few ages ago.

When your kingdom is in the top 50, wars are far and few between. At that size, there are few good war targets, and the larger you get the fewer targets there are. And we usually declare the wars - the last time we got declared on was last November.
