The '''Somber War''' was a military conflict involving most nations originating in the [[Commonwealth]] that lasted from 9 October 2017 to 8 April 2018. |
|||
The war drew in all the server's economic great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the [[Western Alliance]] versus [[Nox]]. The Western Alliance was reorganised and expanded as more nations entered the war: [[Yoahtl]], [[Southshire]], [[Gensokyo]], [[Okashima]], [[Vinland]] and the [[USA]] later joined the Western Alliance. |
|||
The trigger for the war was the declaration of war by Lexington on Hjaltland and the Commonwealth<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/755nes/lexington_declares_war_on_hjaltland_commonwealth/</ref> and the subsequent obsidian bombing of [[Westminster]], the capital city of the Commonwealth. This set off a diplomatic crisis for Nox and many nations, such as [[Tvtopia]], [[Mexington]] publicly stated their support in favor of the Commonwealth<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/75akb9/tvtopia_denounces_lexington_and_calls_out_to/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=LusitaniaCiv&utm_content=t3_78zby6</ref> while others declared and/or kept their neutrality<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/756ocf/the_empire_of_yoahtl_declares_neutrality_in_the/</ref>. It was followed by a formal declaration of war by the Commonwealth<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/755r53/the_commonwealth_declares_war_on_lexington/</ref> |
|||
After the Nox bombing of Westminster was halted and Lexington City was captured<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/772u3q/lexington_city_has_fallen/</ref> and Nox fighters retreated into their bunkers, the war turned into a battle of attrition, with a trench line that changed little until the end of the war. Somewhere around early 2018, Yoahtl, Gensokyo, Southshire, Okashima, Vinland joined the Western Alliance. |
|||
Followed by a couple attempts at breaching the vault, during early April 2018 a new plan was formulated by the Western Alliance and after a [[Fall of Lexington|two day siege the Lexington vault is broken]], culminating in the end of the war. The end of the war brought peace to former warring nations, the disbanding of the Western Alliance in favor of [[SATO]] and the end of Nox.{{Infobox military conflict |
