Food

[Indirik]

That's why Tom bolted every single ruler in the EC one time to get them to start creating war. In many ways, that is what caused the Great War on the EC, which lead to the death of Old Rancagua, Sultanate of Asena, Light of Fontan, and, in some ways, Itorunt and Ibladesh. It also created Westmoor, Nivemus, Armonia, and Eponllyn.

Umm... A bit OT, but this needs some corrections.

First, the Great War... that was the war that ran on EC for something like 5 or 6 years straight, and ended in late 2006 with the near destruction of Perdan and Caligus. Every other realm on the island (except the Kalmar Islands and Ubent (who had already surrendered)) was allied against the Perdan/Caligus team. The war that you're talking about, that didn't start until sometime in late '07, or maybe even '08, was the Great War's little brother.

"Light of Fontan" was actually called "Light of Fountain" (No, that's not a typo). They died during the *real* Great War. You may be thinking of Confederation of Fontan.

Tom did not bolt every ruler on the continent. There was a specific group that got zapped. I believe it was Sirion, Fontan, Old Rancagua, Yssaria, and maybe Ibladesh. Not sure about Ibladesh... The rumour I heard at the time (this was a few years before I joined the dev team) was that there was an OOC effort by those particular rulers to enforce the peace so that the ruling factions that controlled the continent could maintain their power. That was rumour, so take it for what it's worth, and with a healthy grain of salt. (Although the fact that these rulers that were bolted were the rulers of two federations of realms that were all allied to each other, and controlled over 80% of the regions on the island, makes you think...)

Ah, yes, my history is shaky before I was here because well... It was before I was here!

As for the Great War, some people have started calling this past war the Great War... Battlemaster has a short memory.

As for Light of Fountain, yeah, I messed up on that name and time period. Yeah, I meant Confederacy of Fontan. Should have checked the wiki for that one.

Oh, was that what actually happened? That was a bit before my time...

At any rate, my point was that wars kicked up after those bolting after a small kick in the pants to EC. Which is true.

I have no idea what Ehandras is talking about Dwilight is currently locked in several wars.

Several wars that aren't happening due to the food crisis.  :P

Yes, you are right!

[Ehndras]

No, you.

D'aww, you bashful man you! No, you! That comment was pure genius.

[Uzamaki]

Looking back on it, it seems there was actually several days that there were no sell orders in late July(or at least that is what the Market Overview bar says, not sure if I should trust it yet).

[Ehndras]

I'm sure that's accurate, from what my memory recalls.

Problem is, there's no point in going to war for food with the people around you if none of them have any food either.

I look at it this way: when there is not enough food for everyone, then peasants must starve and die. There's not much you can do about it.

Now, you don't want the peasants from rural regions to die, because then there will be even less food. Therefore, urban population must fall down. It's simple math.

As a noble, you can't make up food. Therefore, people will die. However, you have swords; what you can do is choose who dies.

Go to your neighbor's main city and burn it to the ground. Bam! Food problem solved! There is now enough food for everyone still alive!

[Marlboro]

For the people who are still alive!

[OFaolain]

For the people who are still alive!

You're all starving but I'm still alive! (and have plenty of food 8))

[fodder]

park your army in their rural and eat their food. steal their food too.
