The '''War of the Icenian Coalition''', also known as the '''Grasslands War''', is an ongoing war on [[CivMC]]. It was declaredinitiated with a surprise attack 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>
 
The war opened on 8th December with a joint Icenian-Yoahtlan surprise attack on the Black Mesa pearl holding vault, disabling it via groups obtained by Grassland insiders. Early the next day, Icenians skybridged to the Florence bunker, eventually disabling it, while also obstructing a Gang Shi iceroad. Late on 9th December, Gang Shi launched a massive, five-hour long, and eventually vain attack on Altepetl that ultimately ended with the Gang Shi attack bunker disabled, 10 Gang Shi fighters pearled throughout the campaign, and ultimately one defender killed (not pearled). A skirmish between Gang Shi forces and Icenians in Icenia City on 11 December ended in one Gang Shi fighter pearled.
 
== Background ==
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 including plans to divide and conquer Yoahtl, Icenia and other nations (detailed extensively in the "[https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18dkxm7/pearled_harbor/ Pearled Harbor]" post on the CivMC subreddit), Yoahtl and Icenia decided to preemptively strike Black Mesa, Gang Shi's primary pearl holding vault.
