Perhaps my proposed strategy would have been ineffective due to the settings of this world; but couldn't it be feasiable that you could have made an OP for those W.A.R villages around that megavillage whilst nobling those barbarians? Better yet, take those W.A.R villages and then defend them.
No, we were too busy nobling W.A.R villas in other areas and scored a decisive amount of conquers.
Admit it; this war isn't going evoLTR's way. You're struggling to gain a substanical lead, nor are you conquering enough villages to sustain growht of your tribe:
Whilst that lead, in my opinion, isn't impressive on W.A.R's part; you're losing. Since the start of your war, W.A.R has grown more, and taken more of your villages. Your decision to not take the megavideo was due to the fact that you're losing the war, and wanted to use the defense/offense that would have been necessary for the megavillage for your frontlines.
Your excuse that the megavideo was amongst W.A.R's territory is weak; based on the aforementioned reasoning.
W.A.R have a knack for targetting the weak and inactive in EvoLTR; W.A.R's similar members are hidden on the backlines, safe as a result. EvoLTR do not have that benefit. W.A.R have failed in every OP against a more talented player. They failed against Beauty and the Beast despite 350+ incomings (I'm told), they failed against Jack n Jill with 300+ incoming (again I'm told), They failed against R2R where they exchanged 8M ODD in one dayfor 5 villages net gain, 3 of which are now back in either mine or EvoLTR's hands. They also most recently OPed BCB, where again, they have so far given 8M ODD to BCB, only for BCB to have lost two villages in the entirety of the operation...
Why do you think the stats do not cause me disquiet? Because i know full well I alone can stand against the onslaught of W.A.R., I am trained and experienced in gangbang warfare, and I know that once W.A.R run out of targets that don't put up a fight (or which the numbers are slowing significantly) there will be a good change in the stats. I dare not speak for others in EvoLTR that similar experience, though I am aware that Jack n Jill and Beauty & the Beast have had similar experiences in UK4. After all, EvoLTR can hit anything and anyone in W.A.R., W.A.R cannot do significant damage to anyone of noteworthy of skill in EvoLTR.
That is the difference.
