The Yurtstead War (also known as the '''Riverford War''' among [[New Danzilona|Danzilonans]]) took place on [[Civcraft 2.0]] on the days of September 6 and 7, 2014 over a territorial dispute between the [[Grundeswald]]-aligned [[Gensokyo|Kingdom of Gensokyo]] and the [[New Danzilona#The Danzilonan Federation|Danzilonan Federation]] city-state of [[Riverford]] in [[Civcraft 2.0]]. It pitted the forces of the [[Holy Krautchan Empire]] and allied [[Carson (Civcraft)|Carsonites]] against the semi-state sponsored but ultimately autonomous [[Danzilonan Security Force]], which made it their duty to defend Riverford's land claims. The actual federal government of the DZF, however, did not want the conflict in the first place, seeking to denounce the DSF and bring a swift end to the fighting.
In an attempt to seize currently unused Riverford land for its own development, leaders from Gensokyo and the HKE built an empty neighbourhood within the borders of Riverford, which they called Yurtstead for the many yurts that they had built to occupy the area, prompting the military response from the DSF and sparking the conflict.
Though the DSF succeeded in defending Riverford's claims and securing Yurtstead, the conflict ended on September 7th with the DZF federal government ceding the land to Gensokyo and subsequently collapsing a week later.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2frafg/peace_declared_the_federal_government_negotiates/ckc0b9s/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ge3t7/a_farewell/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2fqu8o/denouncing_the_actions_of_the_dsf/</ref>The war was largely the culmination of [[Grundeswald–New Danzilona relations|tensions between Grundeswald and New Danzilona]] that began forming several months prior.
==Background ==
Line 56:
===Early History of Riverford===
About a month after New Detroit was founded, sometime in mid July, 2014, the town of [[Riverford]] was declared nearby by its founder, Seargent_Pepper. Though the beginnings of Riverford are not well documented, Pepper recounts getting into territorial disputes with other newfriend towns in the vicinity, most notably [[Sack of New Syngrad|Syngrad]] and Vend, which he promptly routed out of the area using his ties to [[New Danzilona]] as support.
</ref>Screenname protested these claims, and Pepper responded uncompromisingly, but did agree to cede any of his claimed land if he wasn't using it by January 1, 2015. Screenname agreed to this proposal, but remained very unsatisfied.<ref>https://pastebin.com/eqNVM5PH</ref> Around this time, Riverford officially joined the Danzilonan Federation, with Pepper running for foreign representative of the federation for the month of August.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2bynuz/seargent_peppers_platform_for_foreign/</ref>
Line 82:
====Ceasefire====
Delegates from the nearby town of [[Mount Augusta (Civcraft 2.0)|Mount Augusta]] brokered a ceasefire between the HKE and the DSF, the terms of which stating that neither side was to commit any act of violence nor were they to grief the Yurtstead. The DSF interpreted this as meaning no one was to build ''anything'', so the ceasefire was effectively broken within minutes of its implementation.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2fqs4x/yurtstead_ceasefire_ended_trackball_attacking_and/ckbub41/</ref>
====Third Skirmish ====
Line 98:
=== The Collapse of the Federal Government ===
The leaders of the DSF, feeling upset and betrayed by their denunciation from their fellow Danzilonans, planned to leave NDZ and form a new town that the DZF did not have control over. Unable to stop them from doing so otherwise, the President and Vice President of the DZF, as well as two private citizens involved with the short-lived Phoenix Guard,<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2fvfan/vote_the_nationalization_of_defense_act/</ref>announced their departure from the city.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ge3t7/a_farewell/</ref>Without a President or Vice President, this left no executive control over the federation, the authority of which subsequently collapsed. Authority in the city was given to a temporary emergency council to fill the power vacuum, which expired about a month later as stability returned to NDZ, and the federation returned to pre-federal government politics.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2glizr/proposal_emergency_governance/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2m0w7v/des_is_back_baby/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2jjavk/discussion_the_phoenix_council_a_little_extra/cld6779/?context=3</ref>The splintering of the Danzilonan public into the pro- and anti-war camps and subsequent departure of federal government officials had long lasting effects, and they solidified the end of the boom in activity NDZ had been experiencing since the end of their conflict over [[Melonwood]] in February, 2014. Though some citizens would ultimately return by the following year, NDZ would never again reach pre-war levels of population. The populace that did remain, however, formed stronger social ties with each other and eventually founded [[Nova Danzilona]] in [[Civcraft 3.0]].
=== Abandonment of Riverford ===
Line 105:
===January 1st Attempted Gensokyojin Takeover of Riverford ===
[[File:Riverford border map.jpg|thumb|The border as agreed upon by the HKE and NDZ in the peace agreement]]
As tensions waned and the Yurtstead grew quiet, both sides unceremoniously agreed after hasty negotiations to declare a recognised border that satisfied both parties. Screenname was dissatisfied with the amount of desert Gensokyo received, but was promptly told to deal with it. However, claiming to be acting in accordance with the original deal she agreed upon with Pepper, Screenname attempted a full takeover of Riverford on January 1, 2015, building a tank across the river from Riverford's city center. With no HKE fighters to reinforce her, Screenname failed the takeover alone and was pearled by the DSF. NDZ deemed her seizure of Riverford to be illegal and illegitimate, handing over her pearl to Mt. Augusta for her to be tried for an unrelated conflict.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/mtaugustajustice/comments/2r6dkn/requesting_justice_against_screenname_for_crimes/</ref>After Mt. Augusta found her not guilty, her pearl was handed back to NDZ foreign representatives, who freed her after she agreed to not attempt to forcibly take Riverford land again.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/mtaugustajustice/comments/2rt7fd/mt_augusta_v_screenname/</ref><ref>https://imgur.com/a/D5Ts0</ref>Over the following several months, Screenname made legitimate negotiations with NDZ for more land, who democratically decided to give much of it to her, resulting in the borders seen at the end of Civcraft 2.0.<ref>[[:File:Civcraft-2.0-claims-map.png|File:Civcraft-2.0-claims-map.png]]</ref>
