Grundeswald-New Danzilona relations: Difference between revisions

Over the course of 2015 following the end of the Titan War in March, little activity affecting NDZ-Grundeswald relations happened, which allowed for some tensions between the two to cool off. NDZ usually interacted with Grundeswald's ally Gensokyo, also cooling relations with them after selling off more of Riverford's land and [[Sack of New Syngrad|helping them crush a secession movement]] in February 2015. The Grundeswegians played very little in general, and when they did, they mostly focused on small building projects or fostering the growth of Chanada, far from NDZ's borders. This is why when, on August 8, 2015, the HKE issued an ultimatum to Mt. Augusta for annexing a seceding region in Gensokyo,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/3g9ymb/coalition_ultimatum_to_mt_augusta/</ref> the Danzilonans privately considered actually supporting the HKE in what would've been a complete about-face in relations.<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RKbuu6rAMy9B4ts-txdEpv86Alcx_AO7eOW_5s4Wels/edit?usp=sharing</ref>Having felt sympathy with Gensokyo due to their own secession conflict in Aegina and offended by MtA breaking the [[Gensokyo-Augusta Treaty of Friendship|treaty of friendship]] they'd signed with Gensokyo, many Danzilonans were in favour of supporting their neighbours but ultimately decided it would be best to stay officially neutral as they were not willing to engage with Mt. Augusta militarily. Ultimately, the Goten conflict had little impact on NDZ's relations with the HKE, but it makes for an interesting Civ Alt History scenario.

=== The Official Civcraft Hockey League ===

At the start of the NDZHL's fourth season in late 2015, Grundeswald was once again rejected from fielding a team, along with a number of other nations.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/NDZHL/comments/3lboyr/at_long_last_the_teams/</ref>In response to their rejection and as an excuse to troll, Grundeswald founded what they named the Official Civcraft Hockey League on September 18, 2015.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/3levlu/welcome_to_the_official_civcraft_hockey_league/</ref>The league was composed of all those who had been rejected by the NDZHL, including the teams of [[Icenia (Civcraft 2.0)|Icenia]], Prussia, [[Aytos]], Gensokyo, and Chanada. An OCHL subreddit was created, and the Grundeswegians banned the commissioners of the NDZHL and many Danzilonans from participating in it. Danzilonan citizen and NDZHL commissioner neondan99 attempted to be diplomatic and repair relations with the rival league, but he was promptly mocked and remained banned.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/3lnrwd/cockroach_danzilonans_can_see_that_the_ochl_is/</ref>On October 12, the first and only OCHL ice rink was built in Grundeswald.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/3oevi1/soon_ochlhype_snibetisnabsnadium_cool/</ref>However, despite the amount of hype generated among some of the participating nations, the OCHL never actually hosted any hockey games and fell defunct by the end of 2.0.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/OCHL/comments/3mdefm/so_this_thing_still_happening/</ref>The NDZHL went ahead with its fourth season until it was suspended following the start of the [[Nox War]]. Grundeswald cheered on Nox, who had pearled many DSF fighters over the course of the war, but did not assist them materially like they had done in the Titan War.

=== Civcraft 3.0 and the End of Relations ===

Both Grundeswald and NDZ founded successor nations on [[Civcraft 3.0]], with [[Nova Danzilona]] being founded on the very first day of the server in the [[Volans]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/4vg1v2/nova_danzilona_has_officially_been_founded/</ref>Grundeswald also founded a successor nation named GRINSSR later on in August 2016.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/4y3q9u/official_grinssr_claims_in_tjikko/</ref>The two nations were now very far apart, however, and so diplomatic relations were never again established between Grundeswegians and Danzilonans.
