Vanu win Indar Alert x2

[Staticelf]

Ok so Sat and Sun Vanu take the Connery Indar alert that hit at prime time (9-11 Central / 7-9 Pacific)

So lets hear how you guys explain away how the lowest pop empire got away with that while also holding Indar....and go.

BECAUSE they're the lowest-pop empire. VS learn to get by with less... and then when they're on equal footing it's a (comparative) cake walk.

Low Pop == "Good Training"

It could also be a simple map thing. They start off with around half the continent. The resource count might be balanced with the other two empires, but I'll wager the land area is not. I'm not going to go counting hexes, but IIRC they're Quite Different in total. That didn't matter until they came out with these Empire Alerts. I suspect they'll rebalance the continent's surface area in light of the Empire Alert System at some point in the near future.

I would say having half the map to start helps a bit. IIRC you guys where not that far ahead of the NC and TR.

NC and TR just have the largest man crush on each other. We can't be bothered to worry about the purple headed step child that keeps stealing shit when we aren't looking.

I show no Mercy to foes of the NC.

We (vanu) are taking Indar due to alerts. Lately, the majority of the NC and TR head off to Amerish or Esamir in the afternoon, and in those 2 hours the VS just stay on Indar. Today we took esamir, the pops were 40%TR 40%NC 10%VS on Esamir, and 50% VS on Indar.

Its really a shallow victory to ghost cap a continent with little to no organised opposition. I'll be proud to take Indar when its an alert target and 33/33/33.

It was definitely a "murder tickle"?

Indar is no longer the Holy Grail, but it's an accomplishment. Some NC decided to get the jump on an Esamir Alert the other day when NC was about to lose Indar. If we can just get more continents, some Benefits and Home designations and we'll see some real Global Strategy and some Metagame. Home continents will be savagely defended.
