EAWF may be added. This would give LC and Munpia into the hands of the current ones whoare pretty much winning. However, I'd appreciate it if you only include the stats once TLA declared upon LC.
I've just spent about fifteen minutes reading this entire thread, and I appreciate your sentiments, Danny.
I do have concerns about the number of TLA tribes, and I had no say in how so many came into the family in the first place. Instead, it seems like I was ignorred by ravagewolf as he added more and more tribes into the family. Sorry ravagewolf, but it's the truth. Anyways, now that we have so many family members, we shall most likely eventually consolidate everybody into about four tribes, one for every continent that TLA has. We also may keep the main TLA tribe a separate entity as to assist in coordination and enforcement of the entire family, as they are much stronger than the rest of us, and most likely more organized.
What else is there to say?...hmmm...
As for the using up our military capabilities, I came back from being sat by my general just today, and found that I've got tons of troops that I had been building before I was sat, now quite literally sitting around and doing nothing. During the main initial attack, apparently my general was too afraid of using up his duke's troops in the middle of a first confrontation against an enemy tribe. While I can understand this situation for him, I still would have preferred him to send even a tenth of my forces to at least support some of my troops on the front line. Now, regardless of whether I agree with this war or not, (i truly think we should have planned this better.) I shall carry out my duties as a TLA citizen and rally the entirety of ~TLA~W.
My tribe has had possibly the most freedom of any other tribe in the family, and that may be why we did not coordinate our forces quite as successfully as we should have, however that is about to change, as I am attempting to change the tribe's rather pacifistic manners and turn it into a pack of wolves. (pun intended, as I am the head of TLA~W)
As for the future of the war, a mere 20 villages or so (i think) at the beginning of a war is hardly a big success. Orel1 probably knows the most of anybody here about the benefit that Munpia has just given to LC, as he is also involved in another rather interesting war on w16 against what used to be a superpower. His tribe held their own for a short while, and then another tribe joined in and they are now in the process of wiping that superpower off the map. (I'm talking about plight, orel1, and I see many similarities.) However I shall strive to have a different outcome than the war there. I shall strive to make sure that the big power shall be able to take on both enemies, by not spreading out our forces too thin, and shall have the war last until the enemy's resources are exhausted.
Even though I consider many amongst Munpia as a friend, it's my duty to raise arms against them if they attack my family members. Danny, I am referring to you. I consider you a friend, and wish that Munpia had chosen TLA instead of its smaller neighbor. Yet I do understand why they have done this. They're afraid of us. If we had consolidated our positions, TLA would have probably been able to reduce the number of our family members to probably half what it is now, and we would be a major threat to their success, though I know that we have only hoped for a partnership with Munpia, rather than open warfare. I still wish that your tribe, Munpia, had not declared against TLA, as we would probably be able to receive the benefits of peace and prosperity, rather than the devastation of genocide and war.
As a peacekeeping tribe, ~TLA~W does not, shall not, and will not condone the actions of another tribe who attacks one of our allies, be they allied to a much more powerful tribe than themselves or not.
We knew of Munpia's alliance with LC{s*}, I had advised Ravagewolf to try and convince you beforehand to allow us to do that, but obviously that had not happened. On behalf ot TLA, I'd like to apologize, as obviously our diplomats were not doing their jobs in that particular category and failed in their mission, if they tried at all I don't know as I have just come back.)
Please, this is not a statement of weakness, to the tribe and the family of Munpia, I wish that you would not choose the past, and choose the future instead. An alliance with as powerful a tribe as the TLA family would bring us both prosperity and security. It would free up a huge front on both of us, allowing us to expand in opposite directions and not bother each other, exept to help and assist each other in matters, enabling us to build a very powerful relationship between yourself and the equivelent of a top 15 tribe.
Even though we are at war, I wish you well.
