EWaR do not seem so great in my opinion, their Highest ranked player is a major barb nobler and their little skirmish with Hmmm? does not seem to be going well.
Please note my edit in bold, many players in this world are major barb noblers, too many high rank players have no skill. Nobling barbs is easy and un-challenging.
For time being we are still on w5, in lazy mode really. Just waiting till all barbs are nobled, time passed and morale not gonna be so low.
But by then W6 should be up and running
