... we succeeded where Astrum and Kabrinskia failed ...
You keep asserting that both sides in that war "failed". The thing is, none of the realms involved in that war *wanted* to destroy anyone. All they wanted was a small border war. No one failed in that. Everyone got exactly what they wanted.

The only realm that wanted to kill another realm was Asylon. And you failed to do it. The only realm that "failed" in that war was Asylon. I'm sorry that's so hard for you to understand, but that's the way it works.

This need to kill realms is really a nasty aspect of how things in the game have been going, in general. It's a vicious spiral where the prospect of being destroyed in any war causes people to bring in lots of allies, which leads to one-sided, realm destroying wars. Which causes people to line up more allies. Begin vicious spiral...

We need more limited wars, fought for small reasons, that end when the small objectives are achieved. We need fewer massive, realm killing wars.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
