I remember mostly a lot of gridlock alliance blocs, eternal peace, and gangbangs against any and all rabble rousers.
That came afterward, with that horrid long peace after the Great War ended. The only war, imo, that deserves the title of 'great'. Constant alliance switches by realms, internal power coups, power swings etc. Of course, back then, we had the *worst* OOC drama with Avamar and Black Hand too. And everyone afraid Tom would shut the game down in a fit of anger at someone.
