A few points:
1) I don't believe this should have been aired in public.
2) While I appreciate the attempt to give me yet more credit for successful sieges, the game merely signed me as the "in charge" commander due to having the oldest commander there. It was another member's engines that completed the siege for RHY against vty. My siege armies were on the way to a different target but did not arrive before RHY was able to complete the raze. (http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/World/Map/-501/-83). I actually thought that my target city was exodus'd at first.
3) Thes Hunter's actions prior to the war are a part of the many reasons that lead to H?'s response and determination.

Anjire, would you care to elaborate what my actions were before the war that lead to H's "Response and determination"?
Because here are all the dealings I had with H prior to Mid-September:
1) Being a newbie, I landed a settler near an occupying army of Lloyrns. This was my third city, and I was very fresh from exodusing my Capital. I had missed the army when looking for sweetspots, and was unaware that Lloyrn was holding the spot. Lloyrn and HonoredMule gave me resources to relocate my City (San Yerivf), which I did.
2) I had asked many H members if it was ok for me to harvest basic resources on their sovereign land. Many said it was ok.
3) Soon after the New Trade resources came out, Lucens and I sent armies to the same unoccupied rare herb square. After some initial confusion, where I had thought I had been on the square first, I recalled my troops and allowed Lucens to take the Square. He then decided to settle a city within 10 squares of the then Si Wolfenstien. (Which was not near the herb square in question). Before the war, I had been told by Hath that Lucens had agreed to exodus his city away (Though he remains in that spot).
4) Deathdealer and I bumped each other from some harvesting spots. Interestingly, Deathdealer repeatedly sent his harvesters to the same spot 5 minutes before my harvesters landed, with impressive regularity. Such that I was thinking maybe I should send out some synchronized caravan dances to entertain him. Though this bumping was eliminated when I started parking armies on my kills.
5) Mid August Kumo sent me 2 messaged titled "Move" and "Get Out" informing me that I had settled San Yerivf in an H hub and they would provide me resources to move. My alliance leader Hath messaged him back asking why I was being asked to move a city that wasn't within 10 squares of any of their cities, and that I had already moved this city for them once before (3 months prior). Kumo messaged back saying "I recounted, it's outside of ten". So seemed to me, problem 'solved'.
Mid September, I begun getting my cotters killed, and other annoyance attacks. I shrugged them off, but one time Empress Olivia killed off an army I had overlooking my elemental kill until my skinners could get there. I asked in GC what was up with that, and got Kumo ranting about how I spammed my cities all over their area. (I can provide the log if anyone is interested) but basically that I had used their 10 square rule against them (Since I had never settled within 10 squares of any of their cities), and the only reason that I would have settled in Azura was it was a Consone conspiracy to push H out.
For the record, I had all my cities settled before I had even known what Consone was. And after Trade V.2 came out, I was now very interested in having cities anywhere but Azura.
So, There's what I know about my own involvement in inciting H to war. I personally am not seeing much, but heck, I could be missing something.
