The '''War of the Icenian Coalition ''' is an ongoing war on [[CivMC]]. It was declared by [[Icenia]] and [[Yoahtl]], allied with one another in the [[Dawn Guard Pact]],<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18ekhpf/support_the_dawn_guard_pact_help_us_protect_the/</ref> against [[Gang Shi]] on the 8th December 2023 in response to leaks from the Gang Shi Discord that implied Gang Shi intended to eventually go to war with the two in order to establish dominance over the server.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18dkxm7/pearled_harbor/</ref>
==
Gang Shi had initially been dissolved in the [[SEC - Gang Shi war]] in April 2023, as part of a war between Gang Shi and the [[Security Enhancement Coalition]], including Icenia and Yoahtl. Following the end of the [[Butternut-SEC War]], in which Icenia and Yoahtl, still in the SEC, fought a failed war against [[Butternut County]] and fighters from Gang Shi, Gang Shi was reestablished (with the SEC dissolved). Subsequently, Icenia and Gang Shi were the subject of several incidents,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/17u0xqo/gang_shis_drama_factory/</ref> including the bombing of unreinforced Icenian structures and the pearling of an Icenian senator. Meanwhile, Yoahtl and Gang Shi signed a non-aggression pact to ease post-war tensions and promote peace. But After a leak (Pearled Harbor post on Civ Reddit), which included stated plans to divide and conquer Yoahtl, Icenia and other nations, Yoahtl and Icenia decided to preemptively strike Black Mesa.
==Course of the War==
=== First Strike ===
On 8th December 2023, on the anniversary of the insiding of the Crucible on CivClassic and also a day after the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Icenia and Yoahtl launched an surprise attack on Black Mesa, Gang Shi's main pearl holding vault. A Reddit post was made, claiming that Icenian and Yoahtl fighters had disabled and Ctr'ed most of the vault with the help of an unnamed insider<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18dkxm7/pearled_harbor/</ref>.
▲=== '''Attack on Florence''' ===
On the morning of December 9th, Icenian fighters began a skybridge over the Florence bunker located south of Wholefoods, believing it was a staging ground for an attack against the farming complex. A watercubing operation was briefly interrupted by the arrival of XxTBxX3276, UghBraces, loo_wee_gee, and 7Joshhh, but ultimately continued and was later augmented by a bombing operation on the 10th, firmly disabling Florence from being used.
=== Logboxing of Jbblocker ===
Concurrent to the operation in Florence, other icenians trapped a section of Gangshi's Northern Iceroad heading through the -,- and created a section that could be easily closed off to prevent escape. Later in the day on December 9th, Jbblocker was spotted coming up the iceroad, and the iceroad was sealed on opposite ends, trapping him inside. Jbblocker logged out he could be combat tagged, and XxTBxX3276, UghBraces, loo_wee_gee, and 7Joshhh showed up in the following hours to attempt to free him, before being driven off and rotating to the fight at Altepetl following the server restart.
=== Siege of Altepetl ===
At approximately 11pm EDT on December 9th, Gang Shi forces began an skybridge assault on Altepetl, the capital of Yoahtl.
Line 118 ⟶ 114:
Fighting continued throughout the night, but the main assault was repulsed by 4am. Further engagements occurred throughout the day near the city and on the Skybridge, and by 3:45pm, Gang Shi had lost 10 pearls without any defender casualties.
== Reactions ==
On the 8th December, a poll was created on Reddit asking which side they supported in the war. As of December 10th, 2023, 51% of voters supported the Icenian Coalition, 27% Gang Shi and allies, and 23% were neutral<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/s/EK7wMAC7tY</ref>.
