In the beginning of strat we got attacked by Blackzilla_FIDLGB. You won't see the squids indefinitely hating a faction because of one attack. They got Legs then we attacked McDeath; fight settled now bff's.

Do you remember how things went? Stabbed Astralis in the back when it came to trade caravens, and then Astralis got wiped off the map. Lost two fiefs. Then you begged for peace. It wasn't given. When you stab a person in the back, and jump in on a fight... kick a guy when he's down... he's not going to like you very much.
Flash forward. Astralis gets back on the map, and poof, four attacks on THAT fief as well. Astralis stays on the map, and bloodies your nose. Still, no peace. Why? You don't get to go to war with someone, and then tell them, 'Yo man we're done.' The other guy gets his turn too.
Flash forward some more. Astralis armies are independent. They gear up, and build up on their own. There is no group giving. What's the point when they may be ready to field one army, and only army... to see it wiped the minute it gains something. So they build, and build, and build.
Now we are at the present. The fruits of your labor, the fruits of your aggression, cockiness, and all around 'dickheadedness' are landing at your feet. You don't get to stay on the high horse, and talk with disdain to those around you without breeding some sort of animosity towards you.
All that being said, I don't want to see you guys knocked off the map. I really don't. But I do want to see the stranglehold on trade broken. I want to see another 'kingdom' of sorts come out of the ashes. Not another big conglomerate. Maybe some independent fief holders, like Ganner, grouped near one another again. I want to see you knocked down a peg.
I think the upcoming weeks will have quite a lot of battles in them. Some you'll win, some you'll lose. And isn't that what you guys wanted? More battles? Or was it just 'more battles at times, places, and with opponents of your choosing?'
Note: While digging through the forums, I saw you were at war with Hospitaller. So at this time, all the factions you've listed as part of this grand conspiracy are factions you have BEEN at war with. Peace is only made when both sides want/benefit from it in some fashion.
