You exaggerate, trying to show everything in black and white colors. Such a simplification must lead to confusion but it doesnt mean we are contradicting each other. For me your questions sound like asked by a naive child, but we both know that its not the case and you just try to mess around.
Anyway I will answer to you in as many details as I can, so you have no more doubts, ok?
Also you escape from my questions - is TFP such a dictatorship that regular members cant post anything which is not accepted by the big brother?
---------------------------------------------------------------
1) Are DoA/IoA fighting TFP alone or do they have help from many alliances?
Seriously, have you ever looked on the map??
God your side has a really funny way of looking at things, first lots of alliance aren't involved or working together then they are. Then statements such as they are fighting on that side of Delta and we are fighting on this side are posted then something like we have wars on all sides is said.
Lots of alliances (I guess you mean TH, Black and Asylum) are not involved in this war, except few individuals. Nobody ever said they are, please show me where it was said?
Yes TH is
mainly involved in fights against EotD and LoC, while DoA against TFP. However DoA has some players located in far West and West/North oceans where they fight against EotD (oc 43, 44, 45, 46). In the north some of DoA are fighting against GKs (53, 62, 63, 73). Its not such a massive scale like war against TFP but yes, some of DoA players dont add anything to this particular conflict.
DoA has ~100 members spread all over so many oceans, where it borders with many alliances, its mixed with Black, TH, next to Asylum, GK, Il, EotD,
not like TFP clustered in mainly 3 oceans plus 2 newer ones with almost no other neighbours.
That should also answer to your 2nd question:
2) Are DoA and TH fighting different wars on different sides of delta or are you all fighting together?
Each of these 2 alliances is focused on a different war, but as some members are mixed up, both will help each other when they can. Players like Building Bill or Cortex (TH) are based in oc65 and naturally will participate only in TFP war BUT there are no other Huns nearby! So the scale of this help is really small, jeeez, like putting that for a child!
This is not 0 & 1 system, yes or no, black or white - you confuse people and yourself. What we said is that majority of DoA are fighting against TFP but some are not and DoA as an alliance has to react in many more places than TFP, which is in more comfortable situation.
Now bit offtopic:
So yeah, you can see what DoA had to do to be now no1-2. It had to work all around, in every possible direction, making diplomacy with trustworthy alliances and war with hostile ones. TFP is so "proud" as it was growing (mainly through merges) unchallenged by any serious force, and now on their way to domination stands DoA. TFP was rooting West and DoA East, finally they met but its TFP that try to make themslefs look like underdogs, while actually they have
local adventage over DoA. What they dont have (or didnt have), are good leaders.
That local focus is more important than looking just at total points, which are misleading. That leads me to another point:
3) Have TFP taken any DoA cities since the start of this war? If so why do you personally lead people to believe they haven't?
TFP did take some cities form DoA and nobody ever said other wise. Never. We were always comparing their conquests to ours.
I saw your little table where you try to prove that TFP is as efficient in taking enemy cities as DoA. First of all you count from January...why January? The war started couple of months before as far as I remember...If you want to prepare a reliable comparison dont hide any data.
TFP took from DoA 31 cities
DoA from TFP 100 cities
If you want to add all losses (IoA, TH, Asylum, Black) then
-our coalition took 135 cities from TFP (IoA took 13, Black 8, Asylum 5, TH 9, actually it was all Building Bill)
-TFP took from the coalition 62 (29 from IoA and 2 from Black)
Of course we can argue now about "quality" of these conquers but all I can say is that these IoA players were all based within TFP oceans or behind the lines (totally isolated), most of them were players with 1-4 cities each...
So half of the TFP conquers are not really impressive... Then comes the thing with inactives but really dont feel like arguing about it again.
IoA has few few spread here and there players on TFP territory, which makes them easy targets.
As far as strategically it can be explained why TFP attacks these guys, it does also show that TFP is very limited in damage they can do to the main force in this area - DoA. TFP does take a city here and there but comparing to what DoA conquers, its not that impressive. As I said before locally TFP has more members than DoA, so they must be inactive, non-cooperative, untrained, or organised in a wrong way.
More propaganda, monitoring the points will tell you little about the state of this alliance. You say yourself the players who don't come back are too afraid or too busy which makes them weak players. As Grom pointed out on one or two occasions TFP have been conquering their in actives. So if the weak are quitting and the better players are eating up their cities would you not agree the alliance would be getting stronger?
First you say that points dont matter and then that TFP better players by getting more cities and points are making the alliance stronger. Do you really think that by taking non-enemies cities TFP gets advantage over DoA? DoA managed to eliminate few TFP active players because we took their cities. TFP doesnt do that. How does it make you stronger?
Ive explained that already somewhere, that
points (cities) are only an indication of potential abilities (power) of an alliance. However there are more important things to take into account, like where are all these cities located, whats the concentration level, how far are they from an enemy, how many frontlines are there and following your thought - to who (what kind of player) they belong to.
Even if they belong to active players but they dont use this "power" to damage DoA then whats great about it? Some of TFP players keep taking inactive cities but never attack DoA. We call them points w..., ranking players etc. They absolutely dont have any influence on the alliance strength. Its like having a sword which is hanging on your wall and only get dusted. "OH look what I have here, a big gun ya? Even bigger than yours, ya?"
So no, TFP doesnt get any stronger by taking new cities. TFP would need new players or more aggressive players, maybe new strategists or leaders. These around me can only take inactives, run away, escape and attack small, weak isolated IoA players with coulpe of cities. Imperica, Tibs they keep attacking small, insignificant (weak) players, instead of stopping us in killing theirs members ("impressive").
Example, yesterday tibs and co conquered dadannys main city - the guy had only 3 towns: 10k, 3k and 1k and was located in the center of TFP territory. By eliminating him did they really hurt DoA or IoA? What that guy was able to do? Send a wave once a month? Do you think that we, guys in 76 are being attacked by imperica, tibs and their boys?
While they bully weak players and overcompensate their failures on small IoA trainees, we take city after city in their ocean...
It not only shows lack of b...s but also absolutely lack of power, tactic skills etc.
Then Grom says we are only still here because we are conquering our in actives, then you say the in actives that are apparently keeping us alive are making us weak.
Its so simple - TFP keeps their points up and sweep problems under the carpet. "We have that many points and you have that many blah blah" - these comments dont come from our side. They come from TFP. You can hear from tibs saying "our points didnt change even went up and we are solid as rock". Actually this rock cracks and TFP active players try to fill gaps. However by doing so they limit their abilities to fight DoA, as they have to move backwards instead of forward against DoA. DoA gets more cities on TFP territory, while TFP progressively retreat, concentrate in their core 75 ocean and build a fortress there. They like so much WW2 referrences so lets say its like Germans changing their own country into a fort, but soon or later the right bunker will be bombed
So taking inactives doesnt make TFP weaker but definitely doesnt make it stronger. It helps them to cover their loses.
On the other hand you have DoA players taking away TFP cities, which make them stronger. Why? Becasue DoA players use these cities to take even more, to attack more and quicker, while TFP can only uphold this image, that nothing big happens, hidding all problems behind points ranking...
So it doesnt matter how many points who has but how can effectively use its assets.
PS
"Other weaker alliances such as black, IL and asylum do what they can to stay on the good side of alliances who they fear (please don't confuse this with diplomacy or friendship it is just out of fear)."
Thats TFP way of thinking, cuz TFP has history of bullying everyone around, making them to merge etc. DoA leaders gave a word to other alliances like Asylum or ex-Pergamum that they will not attack them unless being attacked - NAP. They kept this word. Smaller alliances like to cooperate with DoA because they know that it wont betray or use them. We cant say the same thing about TFP. TH dont coopereate with DoA out of fear, nor DoA with Huns, the same can be told about weaker alliances and you know why?
mutual respect and trust.
