The simple fact of the matter Ibladesh could not win on a to front war against two powerhouse realms
When the war started, Perdan was anything but a powerhouse. We were very weak. DoA alone would probably have stalemated us for a long time. It wasn't until after we killed DoA and recaptured Aix that we picked up steam.
and really if Ibladesh could have gotten Westmoor to attack Perdan from behind. The war would have turned out quite differently.
Religious tensions prevented a Ibby/Westmoor alliance from ever growing too strong. The state religions of each realm considered the other's state religion as evil. Westmoor tried to strong-arm both Perdan and Caligus, but we told them that we weren't going to discuss anything until after the war with Ibby was over. Westmoor tried to stab Caligus in the back, but was as (un)successful as always.
No offense to players in Caligus but Perdan had a vastly stronger military then Caligus
Umm... no. When Ibby declared war on Caligus, Caligus was
much stronger than Perdan.
but Ibladesh choose to ignore Perdan at the beginning of the war and keep claiming they did not need to bother with Perdan because DOA could take us. That was a fatal mistake they allowed for us in Perdan to build up our strength and without worrying about looting in our regions we could focus all our efforts on DOA and after we killed DOA Ibladesh had no chance Perdan was just to strong for them to win against us and fight Caligus at the same time
I do agree that not taking out Perdan at the beginning of the war was a mistake.
