You do realize the only reason why you still have russia is since people don't fight you guys
Yup. You do realize why people don't fight me in Russia, right? I got a minimum of a 35 tick gap between the closest border to our colonies if pushed back, and a maximum of 85 ticks. We have 100+ active nukes ready to fire in Northern Russia for anyone who wishes to test our boundaries, we have power to match anyone else on the map, and we have no regard for our survival at the end of this CE. Quite the deadly combination when someone else wants to win it. Especially when there are still multiple parties up and running looking to run you over at a moments notice to gain the advantage. If you think I haven't thought things through at all, you are sadly mistaken. You say I am here in Russia because people aren't fighting for it? You're right, they aren't. That is not because they don't want to.
PHIz are the one's to gain the most from taking out Moo as they could use the resource OPs in Russia since nubs controls most in Aussie and China/India. However they also would gain the biggest nuisance due to their close proximity and would have to constantly have defense to watch their backs EVERY time they move out offensively outside of Aussie. Moo is not made up of inexperienced noobs. We know exactly how to be your worst nightmare and it'll take much more time and effort to stop it than it would be worth. Nearly the same scenario of nubs.
RDH and NJ have the distinct advantage however as they're hives are across the map and have little to worry about in terms of watching their backs after killing Moo. However, they are also competing for 1st place, which, coming after Moo would result in heavy losses. This would give an opening to anyone else running for the top spot a distinct advantage, which any smart player would take advantage of. While KMO was a smart idea to team up against due to the fact that they were going for the win, Moo is not. Which means, taking a blow from Moo would serve as nothing but a distinct advantage for the competitors. If PHIz took the big battle hit, RDH and NJ would both be in a good position to take the lead, as well as the fact that they are now both in Russia/Asia and while PHIz would have a significantly smaller area as well as weakened. If RDH takes the hit, NJ would have an easy time to take advantage due to their proximity to one another as well as vice versa. Both teams have already been accused of betraying and going back on their dealings during the KMO war. I believe both would not fully trust the other to not take the chance if it arrived on such a silver platter for them.
The only way for any of these teams to benefit would simply be to allow some other alliance working for them to take us out instead and get dealt the big blows. For PHIz, nubs suiciding into Moo would be the best case scenario for them, but I don't think nubs would be too keen on being used in such a manner. Not quite sure what TLA is up to. I don't believe their intent is for 1st, but nor do I think they are simply here for PHIz. For NJ, their sub NJa would be their best bet, but I don't think NJa has expanded far enough yet. Not to say they couldn't. And I've barely seen NJa in even the KMO wars. I don't think they have the activity necessary to take Moo out and would ultimately be leaving NJ to do the majority of the work still. RDH has BOOM as well though, but BOOM are allied with us. Doesn't mean they can't betray however, but they would have to come back into Russia. They also contain a previous Moo member now as well.
WSS or BA coming after us would be the best case scenarios for these alliances going for 1st. However, BA seems to be doing a similar play style as Moo in AA. They would have to cross Aussie or Africa or go all the way around through SA, NA and GL to reach us. This is unlikely to happen. BA has fought with IND for a while now, I doubt they'd get access through Aussie. Maybe Africa though, but would still take a while. And then, once again, if BA were to go offensive, I'm sure IND would love to take advantage of that scenario. WSS is probably the biggest wildcard for me. They could benefit from Moo's crystals and they seem to like war. They would probably be the best case scenario for everyone else. If this happens, then simply put, it happens.
But of course, this is all speculation based on assumptions. But each team going for the win knows that every other team will look for the opportunity to change the tides in their favor. So once again, if you think I haven't put thought into the situation, you are very sadly mistaken.
