I find it extremely hilarious how Xavax attempts to ruthlessly bully all its neighbours into submission Cagilan Empire style and when other realms jump in to break this alarming development Xavax brands it a gang-bang that will lead to Atamaran scenario. Perfect logic!
CE style would be Caligus, Perdan, AND Xavax declaring war on Alara, Minas Nova, and Perleone. But nice try with that logic fail.
The fact of the matter is that the strength of the two sides were pretty equal, even with Vix joining in. I'm not going to apologize that they couldn't get their forces to coordinate properly. It seems that suddenly winning a war means you overpowered, rather than the actual forces available to either side. Oh, and might I point out, that Vix ON ITS OWN has a better economy than we do. Add Perdan to the fight, a realm that has the same number of nobles as us but a much better economy, and it's absurdly unfair.
But yeah, keep talking outsiders, and ignore the person who was in both Alara and Xavax. You know, the person who actually knows what happened? Not to mention that if we look at the statistics for the past few months, our military power hit a height of 39,914, but this was solely caused by the portal peasant event. For the vast majority of the time, we have been under 30k CS total. At one point Alara had more CS than we did, as amazing as that sounds. Alara, Minas Nova, and Perleone by themselves actually have more CS than we do. Vix by itself DOES have more CS than we do. Now in gold production, we also are not outproducing the other original three. Very most we can produce, in short bursts, has been just barely reaching 6000 gold. more typically, it is in the 5200-5500 range, and that was after taking Alara's regions. Before that, they had around 3300 and we were in the lower 4000s. The other two realms, which we have not touched at all, are in the 2000s, with Alaran currently being the lowest for obvious reasons, but still respectable. Minas Nova and Perleone have economies in the averaging at 2500, so those two alone are pretty equal to us economy-wise. Per noble, all three of our enemies started off much better than us, with around 260 per noble between Alara and Minas Nova, and Perleone going up and down between the upper 300s and mid-to-upper 200s.
Also, for those of you saying that all you need is more nobles to have the stronger force, I will point out that our nobles only have averaged 750 CS each throughout this war. Alara has had more than that for the majority of the war, averaging around 850-950. Minas Nova has averaged 900 per noble, and more like 1200 lately; and Perleone has been at 1300 for the past month. Our total combined military, taking out the exception of the peasant portal event, has averaged 25k CS. Save for when we attacked Itorunt, Alara has averaged 15k CS. Perleone, 9k CS. Minas Nova, overall 8k, but currently 12k.
It's not that they don't have the military to fight us. It's that they each come into our regions one at a time, and we defeat their armies in turn. They fail to coordinate, and thus lose. It's not us being some extreme superpower, it's them failing to unify command and instead acting as independent armies. It's as if we have a 40,000 man army, and they each have 20,000 men. Together they would have a large advantage, but with their forces spread apart we have local superiority.
For the TL;DR among you: Look at the !@#$ing statistics screen.
