Over a year ago it was possible to gain an advantage by knowing the war system. However, most of the tricks are universally known these days. You can be better at making judgements with deployment and judging the best times to attack.
Diskord wins though.
Well presumably the members of the NPO want to rebuild their nations and their alliance at some point. They can't do this untill they surrender, therefore softer terms are an incentive.
Obviouse answer: when the large amount of nations in peacemode have been cut down and defeated. You may point out the similarities between the FAN situation and the NPO situation, and claim it is hypocritical on the part of the alliances at war with the NPO. However, these situations are entirely different. The incentive for allowing your nations to be destroyed is the hope that it will facilitate a quicker agreement of peace terms. FAN had been totally betrayed by the NPO whilst under their protection once already, and were understandably reluctant to consider 'peace terms' ever again. The NPO leadership have no real reason to fear such an underhand move. The decision of the NPO leadership to make their use of peacemode such a sticking point is viewed as especially dickheadish because the nations in question were barely developed and posed no threat whatsoever to the NPO or its allies. As a contrast to this, the nations held in peacemode by the NPO currently are large and numerous, possing a serious credible risk to any of the alliances fighting. None can afford to let such a formidable force escape unscathed.
Before the ultimatum (demands?) was given to Moo, the NPO had no incentive to bring their large amount of peacemode nations out to fight. The war cannot end untill those nations have been defeated, so in an attempt to shorten the war an incentive was created by the alliances fighting the NPO for the PM nations to be ordered into warmode.
I remember the day the continuum was announced I considered deleting my nation. I couldn't beleive it after having waiting so long for the initiative's collapse. I guess if anything this game has taught me patience.
Anyone complaining about these terms out to take a look at the bs MK had to put up with for 6 months. BS that MCXA enabled and supported.
Good luck with keeping to the terms MCXA, and congratulations to the VE and NV.
Number of Soldiers Lost in All Wars. 1,674,988 Attacking + 1,315,240 Defending = 2,990,228 Casualties
Was ranked 6th (behind bob sanders iirc) before GPA war came. Pretty annoyed I never made it to the cn awards page.
