The Perpetual Dev War

Band OF Devs [DEVS] Diplomacy Page

Illyriad has many pastimes in its vast expanse of countries and continents — anything from killing NPCs to Crafting, from Trading to Betraying, from Witty Banter to Flinging Insults. It appears that something else is going on, and has been for a while. Three out of the five Diplomatic Relationships with the alliance Band of Devs [DEVS] are declarations of war. The other two are also only ‘offered’ not accepted, but that’s not important right now.

Epidemic’s Alliance Permabanned Inc. [LOL] has all but been razed out of the game. However, Top 20 alliance Fairy Road Authority [Roads] and branch of the Crowalition Kaendran Crows [KCrow] both have War status with the Devs Alliance.

These war statuses may just be a badge of honor or prestige for these alliances, as the Devs’ cities all have permanent NEW PLAYER PROTECTION RAINBOWS, so any military action is futile. However, this was not always the case. After a look through the forums of Illyriad, reports were found that a player did in fact once raze Dev Cities. Far back in 2012, Player Brids17 successfully razed GM Cerberus’ only city, and GM ThunderCat’s capital. here is the forum Post: http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/brids-the-dev-killer_topic3066_page1.html

This reporter wonders whether the Devs will set up an account that will allow players to siege and raze, or just play military actions with the Devs, without the New player Protection on their side. This would make for interesting discussion and give many players something to strive for – the title of Dev Killer.
