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.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2fqu8o/denouncing_the_actions_of_the_dsf/</ref>
 
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.

===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.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/2bc3dl/on_riverford_and_vend_15d_bounty_on_razukie_and/</ref> After securing the area, Pepper went on to claim all of the land between Riverford and the current borders of New Detroit, as well as the Gensokyojin town of Jericho.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivcraftUED/comments/2bwbt4/border_ridiculousness_claims_by_riverford/
 
</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>

====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>
