The First Crusade (Nexus vs Papacy)[]
Background[]
The nations of Nexus and Papacy, both highest populated and thus strongest nations on the server, had held a relative coexistence as the server progressed. Moosebobby, however, in a swift industry campaign, built up remarkable resources in a span of a few days, silently equipping his large nation for a server takeover. Oblivious, the Papacy continued building their great works and creating their own gear at a slow pace.
Skirmish at Vita, September 8[]
The nation of Kiksuya, third highest population on the server, launched a raid on Vita, led by devildog. Pelleaon, BMan, and Zero arrived in p1 or worse gear, while Meloye their president came in p4. Moosebobby came to Vita's aid and killed all but Mel, driving off the force. While seemingly unrelated, many suspect that the sudden battle sparked Nexus' following actions.
Chronology of Battle[]
Raid of Jerusalem's Vault, September 8[]
"Alright it's war then." -RedTillDead after being killed by their turncoat ally
A few hours after the Vita incident, Moosebobby led his forces to the Papacy, attacking his coexistent ally without any prior warning. The Nexus force of approximately ten arrived on Papacy soil flags ablaze, ready to snatch away Papacy's valuables before they could fight. RedTillDead (Consira) went out and was promptly slain by the non-negotiable attacking force. The Papacy began evacuating their vault with all due haste, about five of them taking their gear out. As doomsday approached, they blew the vault sky high in a jihad run, killing themselves in the explosion as well as destroying chests, autobrewers, and other supplies.
Battle of Jerusalem, September 8[]
Moosebobby led his troops, now joined by Dr_Chocolate of Hydra and his deputy SigmaFlash, to the Cathedral of Jerusalem, a work many agreed to be a Wonder of Civwars. Unwilling to let their pride go to waste, the depleted army of Papacy rallied under dogs4war and mounted a defense. Initially, the defenders managed to score two kills off the enemy, holding them back. However, they began to fall one by one. SirElliot died, then dogs4war lagged out and was slain. Red fell next, followed by Pzychotic, with two of the kills going to Moosebobby himself.
With their potion brewers destroyed in their jihad on the vault, the Papacy was unwilling to fight a losing battle, and reluctantly surrendered the cathedral to Nexus, giving Moosebobby and his cohorts victory.
Papacy Surrenders, September 9[]
Outnumbered and with no help coming from other nations, the embattled Papacy surrendered and was made to dissolve, with the capital Jerusalem falling into the ranks of Nexus and capitulating their population to over one hundred members, the first nation to do so in the New Age.
Kiksuya Surrender, September 9[]
Under political pressure, Kiksuya then surrendered, becoming a vassel state to Moosebobby and swearing fealty. Their nation signaled last possible resistance to Nexus, starting the beginning of a Nexus-dominated server.
