Eventually, that might be true, but it also becomes true that the lower tier gets completely harassed. I am not doing serious damage except for killing generals and chunks of tech/infra/land from nukes but am also doing so without any real additional damage to my nation. I can understand why some folks can war for years without qualm.
If you create an entire lower tier of over wondered over monied opponents with nothing left to do but harass your lower tier, eventually your lower tier will have to rise up ( stop feeding your alliance tech ) or leave ( stop feeding your alliance tech ) in which case you will no longer be able to prosecute the war. However the precious upper tier will be completely safe.
That is assuming a term of time less than the end of game - which we all are assuming is around the corner anyway - and great enough to make any chance of recovery impossible. It appears there are two long wars already at that point and there is no indication this current conflict will end any differently.
That has not been my experience. As you lose NS you first lose your infra, then your tech. Once your tech gets to a certain level your damage is the default damage for attacks, unless you tech deal or rebuy tech periodically. What you can do is harass the lower tier because you would most likely have full wonders and be expeirenced. You could also rebuy infra as needed to win GA's. The damage you do might require some to need aid packages instead of being able to to tech deals, but I just don't see the tech deal disruption.
Perhaps as more and more AA's get crushed into the small tiers and stubbornly refuse peace we might see more of that, but not right now.

Quoted for truth. Declaring war on folks with massive warchests fighting overwhelming odds will just breed an non ending war. Being wasteful I suspect my modest warchest could last 24 perhaps 30 months. I could only imagine what a large warchest would be capable of. Eventually normal folks get tired of their generals being assassinated out of thin air, their collections being messed with and the constant threat of being dragged into the scrum.
Pixels always win out.
Take away years worth of pixels and all that is left is causing as much pain and suffering as possible. Apparently Oculus enjoys the pain and suffering.
There comes a point when the nations attacking us do not do considerable damage and the damage can be mitigated or repaired in full with an aid package. So while you can fight for a year or more your damage output will eventually get diminished.

Absolutely necessary and valid responce to someone aiding our enemies.
Go casualties!

SPATR and Mongols have the cash and desire to fight, so they continue to fight. If their will to fight outlasts their opponents will tofight, than they will gain more favorable terms. Though just admitting defeat isn't that bad of a term, I come from an era of "draconian reps" and harsh terms. Now anything more than a white peace with an admission of defeat is considered too harsh. Regardin this war, theres not much less lenient terms that can be made, but war will continue until both sides agree to peace.

Hurray, war!

What do you hope to gain by being in perpetual anarchy? We all know how much money you have.
There has to come a point where you say "that's enough." and counter the peace offer instead of a blanket "no."
But then again, when has CN ever made sense?
They went from the largest nations to the smallest, they are in it for the principle of it now. And some do have the cash to keep on fighting for years to come. Its cheap not havnig to worry about building your nation.

Cool, more people.

welcome to war

Based on my experiences on Maroon... I'm willing to bet Alexandros and JoshuaR vote the same way 90% of the time, and that then enormous !@#$%*ing is to be had by Umbrellians the other 10%.
Its Umbrellans, not Umbrellians.

Oh the casualties, the glorious casualties

Our top tiers would have been out to play if NG had anybody in that NS range.
Should've got in on the war earlier then.

How important is Maroon dominance to Non Grata's allies, and how long and hard will they be willing to fight for it? This is increasingly looking like the strategic question of this war.
Good Luck and Have Fun to both sides.
Maroon dominance is of utmost importance. Can't be having people voting for non approved senators or passing stupid things in the senate.

more casualties!

I think you have missed something along the way..... or do you not remember Sparta attacking us last war?
Goose, gander, good for both.
How dare them do such a dastardly act.

So it has come to this

Our Jihad on the infidels on Maroon is a glorious one, to repeal the Crusaders and expel them from our lands, inshallah.

Do you mind explaining how exactly GATO is declaring on RIA, at the very least you could post a DoW.
For the same reason how RIA didn't declare all those wars you joined in on.

So this is what all the fuss is about.
