Line 1:
This article is taken almost word-for-word from [[S4NTA]]'s Reddit comment<ref name="s4nta-top-10">
=== High tensions and skirmishes in Mount Augusta ===
Line 20:
=== Mirian Military Success ===
Pearling of [[centipede]] and
[[1st Siege of Pinkerton]],
Two [[Sieges of Sempiternal]] and key pearls acquired during that such as
Much of this success was due to war/PvP experience and extensive [[snitch]] networks placed by Mir, which also leads to the next point, the [[Hallow]] campaign.
Key point here being the large initial morale boost for Mir.
Line 29:
Sacking the city, sieging the vault daily, getting 6 [[Vault|rings]] in with the intent of pearling NATO members.
Core members were pearled such as [[Daddo]], Bruno, [[SilentCreeper]]/DontMindMe, as well as others like
Key point: Taking the fight directly to NATO main land and gaining even more pearls and morale until Mir ran out of steam, due to a lack of consistent manpower partly due to S4NTA's absence not having a PC at the time.
Line 54:
=== The Rise of Ransackistan ===
[[SPQR (CivClassic)|SPQR]] gets [[Obby bombing|obby bombed]] by a group of NATO members and others, partly due to past events in the [[SPQR rail crisis]].
Following the SPQR bombing, [[Parker]] and [[Rixxlon]] created [[Ransackistan]], an [[HCF]] group and a vault built within HJE land.
The players building the vault were seen on HJE's own snitches, though Mir never got around to checking out the area (Mir had access to their snitches for a long time).
They had many HCFers join at this time and this was basically an HCF invasion of it's own.
Line 62:
They had a lot of people and obby bombed many towns, receiving tangential assistance from NATO as a group, and direct assistance from a few NATO members.
As said, many active towns were obby bombed which garnered support for Mir and distrust for NATO.
During the bombings, [[Lodish]] was pearled and taken to the Ransackistan vault making it's existence known.
It was sizable with ~6+ rings, a trench, and sky defenses.
Line 75:
Note: Varkonia was already in a separate war against Corvus at the time.
Eventually, parker was pearled due to a
The Ransackistan vault was soon broken after a Mir Team 6 Probe attack turned into a serious one.
The same would happen to Corvus later.
Line 90:
While it was only one pearl, Mir does not have many players and relied on quality of their members so one player lost was a huge hit to morale.
Mir offered making peace with Laconia and giving up their attacks, for the freedom of Ez2Clutch which was declined.
NATO moved in during the night with a 1x1 skybridge and successfully
This was done despite efforts and bots broadcasting Ez2Clutch's pearl throughout the night, not enough players were online at the time to contest it.
Later, another account was seen in the north ocean of the Laconian sea, where a massive battle between Entente and Mir Vs. NATO and Laconia took place, resulting in many NATO pearls being lost, including essentially half of the 'recharge' raider group from 2.0.
Line 101:
Corvus also joined NATO around this time.
This drastically increased NATO's numbers.
Notably, important players such as [[Zrain]], [[Reiko]] (after being unbanned), and [[Crackerjack]] helped revitalize their military.
A large group of players/pvpers from a different server (
This was essentially the second HCF invasion that directly helped NATO during this war, this time they directly joined forces.
Despite all this, Mir got much more support as well, with the [[UDF]], and [[Entente]] formally joining them in the war, as well as Columbia and Valyria joining back into the war this time on Mir's (The Coalition's) side.
Together the coalition broke Pinkerton and Corvus vaults.
=== The Columbian Theatre ===
NATO was once again pushed back to their main territories of Hallow and HJE after
Despite the coalition success, NATO had just gained 10-20+ pvpers whilst much of the coalition joining Mir were not PVP savy, and Clutch/Walkers were now pearled.
This led to NATO attacking Valyria's Vault, the crucible.
Due to an insider, the attack was fairly successful, however once a formidable defense was gathered NATO was pushed back and lost one of their best pvpers from
This led to weeks of constant fighting, with the coalition on the backfoot being heavily outnumbered in terms of skilled pvpers.
Most of the
The Entente stayed out of the PvP for the time being as well as a large portion of Mir.
This loss of morale was due largely to two things.
Line 124:
The defenders played very carefully due to their disadvantage and as a result of persistent attacks, NATO took over the Valyrian city and completely obby bombed it.
It was one of the most severe obby bombings seen in civ history.
One tactic NATO successfully used was stealthily breaking city bastions in the sky and underground, before sending in self [[Exile Pearl|exiled]] players with Obby and Stone to grief without any risk.
Using exiles at this point was not new, Laconia saw a lot of success using them to defend their vault as well.
While Valyria's city was essentially destroyed, the Vault was never successfully attacked despite multiple attempts.
NATO also lost one of their important leaders during some of the fighting, [[Robokaiser]].
Soon after Robo's pearling, the NATO attacks slowed down, and the coalition decided they would begrudgingly use exiles to their advantage this time - safely skybridging Polska city bastions before sending down self exiled players to disable and destroy military infrastructure, where NATO was finally pushed out of Polska.
=== The Final Blows ===
A few months after the events of the
They had built a preliminary bunker 1-2K NW of Valyria to do so.
Most players did not want to assault the NATO vaults because of the immense time investment required to break them.
Hallow vault was a strong 30 rings, and would be triple the size of the previous largest vault ever broken.
HJE and
However, people finally wanted to end the war, myself, JKH, and some others logged in and began consolidating resources and built a secure Obby-Ice tunnel from the Valyrian bunker to deep Hallow land, where we built our WindChimeTM skybunker to stage our attack.
However, JKH went to the surface trying to get pvp and alerted NATO of the attack.
Line 143:
With the goliath of the Hallow vault out of the way, the coalition was eager to end the war.
A month later, after many preparations, snitching, probing, bunker building, and disinformation, we were ready to strike HJE - the biggest remaining NATO stronghold.
HJE and [[Vault 76]] were broken on the same day, and the
