UN's war strategy appears to be buying boatloads of tech during nuclear war. It kind of skews the AA stats. You have to look at individual wars.

In IRON we rust! Good luck to all! o/ **....ugh.

I feel like the idea behind it was sound and well-intentioned, but sadly it is just too hard to enforce or use for resolving disputes. How sadly familiar. I wish I knew the answer to this quandary. --SeaBeeGipson, you're the MVP.

Good luck to all!

... Whatever that means. Anyway, good luck to all involved!

How fares the war? I'm expecting exceptional war logs to be posted in here eventually.

I'm always a fan of clarity.

Good luck to all!

Most wars until next wonder day:

I think that it is worth noting the in-round background of this war: Both UN and D1 had similar membership numbers for the last 22 days. Both had the same overall resources at the start. Since neither went to war, any difference in NS is demonstrably a difference in building and development priorities. Looking at UN's membership, many had tried to rush the SDC. Many built 4 econ wonders in a row, and then bought an SDI. A few even bought 5 econ wonders in a row. We caught several UN members at defcon 5 with only soldiers: 0 Air, 0 Navy. Why so many decided not to use any of their $150,000,000+ warchests to invest in a little protection is beyond me. UN simply went for an econ build, banking on the possibility that one one would attack them and let them "boom" in peace, and neglected to militarize--even to defensive level. That fact was going to catch up to UN sooner or later, and someone was going to experience and advantage. That someone happened to be D1. Yabland: The "gentlemen's agreement" (not the recent treaty) has been a conundrum to myself as well. I'm sorry about any spy ops that you consider dirty. We're trying to avoid those; please post logs and we'll send reminders to our membership. Personally, I never do blockades, but I'm not sure what D1 official stance for this war is yet. In hindsight, the fact that so many UN members sat around for 22 days and bought 0 navy was a tactical failure on their part. Stevie: Ouch! Maybe I spoke too soon about tactical advantage. Those logs make me cringe. No ground XP for us, I guess.

LH, you have no MP. I am disappointed in you. I was looking forward to your nuke logs.

Are you sure those were water pistols you were all using?

Watch out, Steve! Here he comes!

Obviously, the attorney for the defense didn't provide the proper coaching.

The jury has reached its verdict!

Declaring yourselves so early? You are all literally monarchs with no kingdoms to speak of, yet, sadly. But seriously, good luck. Glad you have things organized already. Planning ahead is good.

And now your watch is ended.

To war, then!

I think the real mystery is how UN was able to acquire 5 nations in under 5 hours, and 12 in well under a week. That's a migration level number at round's end. It takes me weeks of begging just to get 1 sometimes. What recruitment methods do you use? What does your average recruitment message look like? Where can I find this untapped fountain of potential players?

Holy cow! I need to learn UN's recruiting techniques. Could have saved me a ton of time trying to fill our trade circle. I wonder what their recruitment messages look like? I'm sure everyone knows mine could use a little polishing.

Something I didn't post because I was busy: ... Aw, screw it! We're doing the apocalypse early!

O.O . . .That... was... marvelous...

Oh boy. Literally, good luck to all. o/ **Also: Eurasia recognizes your state of war and will do something about it... soon.

With friends like these, . . . something, something. . . enemies. . . I don't know. I got nothing.
