	I have played in a number of very solid realms, and this was up there with any of them. The attitudes of everyone seemed to be figuring out how they could help, and what gave us the best shot. So much of the round was not mentioned above, specifically the constant scouting of an amazing ops team who found the majority of targets as well as threats. Rush2008 led with the most bounties. Zedijar kept eyes on the top offense so we knew how much defense was needed to move into top range. Candarius would often clear ops before we posted them in the discord thread and was in for all the assassination plans. Kale made great use of his troops after deconverting, and participated in the key wonder attacks and assassinations. Hyt33 would constantly clear the ops board, and stayed up very late to make one of the last hits happen. Jmerc ran our highest ratios for much of the round and got many of the hardest ops. Chunk and Dave were our leading early round attackers, and absorbed much of the damage from 6 in both wars. They then switched to pushing high offenses to clear the path forward. Ivetza made a late round push with high mods to be able to threaten 5:4 against anyone that would hit us and was ready to suicide or raze as needed. It was an active group on discord, and there was no drama. Thank you guys for a great round, no we we would have done it without the contributions of everyone.

	These hits gave Chunk and Dave a fresh supply of cheap acres and a peasant boost, and shot my peasants past 75k where I had to push LY because of employment issues. Along with the alchemist hero, techs, and not being in the guard, this led to the highest income I have had as an attacker at Production /hr Platinum: +241,215 (19.87%) + 50k from banking lumber.

	The race between 7 and 9 was still raging for the top explorer, and the trolls in 4 were a growing threat. As the race continued both were trying to just keep ahead of defense to squeeze out a few more acres. Rury added a temple dump which extravadadza did not respond to fast enough leading to a huge hit, putting Mcgeeal out in front for the exploring leader. We saw it a few hours out and wanted to knock Rury out of range before Wurst had a chance to get easy acres off of the hit, and led to Ivetza doing a big flex to help knock him down faster as well as pull in some nice acres.

	4 was clearly the rising threat at this point so we decided it was time for us to finally declare war. Their smaller troll had a decent suicide potential, but was light on docks and was very sinkable, as well as being on lower peasants so moving buildings would be slow and expensive. We had 6 people running ops. The plan was very simple, we would sink their smaller troll once he had taken and built his bonus, and then FB/LB their bigger troll to limit his ability to draft and train brutes so he couldn't 5:4 as much. By limiting their suicide potential I would be able to make a late game push without needing to defend as much, and could get in my first 2 hits before any war bonus became active. The message was posted, people were saving spy/wiz strength, and 2 hours before we were going to declare our plans were foiled when the smaller troll made another hit and making sinking impossible.		4 was clearly the rising threat at this point so we decided it was time for us to finally declare war.

	The timing of that hit was unfortunate as it put my next hit in the middle of the night, and we had mainly drafted a team from the US/Canada timezones. Luckily Hyt33 offered to stay up way too late to help find a hit 9 hours later, and we had pre-scouted targets when more people were online to make that easier. This target had just explored and with the lower morale became an easier hit, and was almost at my 75% so landgains were still quite solid. It is always a little uneasy to go into the realm of the only person that could retal, but it was worth the risk. I then woke up 3 hours later to rezone so I was not a tempting target when the previous land came in and my forest % dropped.

	There were very limited targets after this. As I looked at possible 9 hour targets, Rio had sent out again, but I was about 1k short of hitting him assuming he didn't draft up at all, or invest. He was also below 60% at this stage, so I would start losing prestige on attacks, further reducing targets for subsequent hits. Then just 9 seconds before my troops got back we saw this		There were very limited targets after this. As I looked at possible 9 hour targets, Rio had sent out again, but I was about 1k short of hitting him assuming he didn't draft up at all, or invest. To make this hit happen I would need to max invest lumber and plat, and have him not increased his own dp.

	He was bigger than Rio, perfect terrain types, and about 5k dp lower. The initial ops on him were taken when I was in a meeting. We got a fresh set of ops when I came out of that and his dp was only a touch higher as we hadn't gotten a land spy the first time. After how the previous 3 hits came along so easily I had gotten complacent and did not check for a NW change before sending. Sure enough it was a trap, and he rezoned enough to boost his dp by 30k leading to the bounce we were worried was going to cost us the round.
