A formidable warrior strolled down the great hall, stopping for a moment
to adjust the air conditioning of the palace. The summer heatwave had
ended months ago; however the temperature still wasn't comfortable for
the Ice King. Fortunately in a couple weeks the northern marshes would
freeze, allowing horses and tanks to once again move in Ice World.
The Ice Barbarian Warlord announces the start of Ice World III.
Players of all skill levels are invited to join.

Six weeks after start, October 20, 2001
(source) Note: power report is from October 19 from end game report.
Ice World III has now been running for six weeks. It started with 26 countries, and 18 countries are still alive and active. Ice World III features terrorists and venture capital sectors -- something that became terribly real after the first update.
One of the top countires which wants to stay anonymous is looking for an experienced player to help co-rule. If you willing to assist, e-mail the deity at johny@frii.com and I'll forward your mail to the player.
Early on several countries were starving or abandoned. The citizen leader, who considers such acts as hostile, quickly liberated a number of these islands and had an early size advantage. However in the forth week of the game, the peaceful citizens of beep were beset by a joint attack from Unknown and Draenor. beep lost one of his start areas in this attack, but is still a strong force left in the game. Since then Draenor and Unknown done joint attacks against Undead and Parphos.
Bananaland, beep, Blimp, Draenor, Parphos, Ragnarook, Second_Foundation, SOG, and Unknown have expanded the size of their empires since the beginning of the game and should be considered the major players. Draenor has been the tech leader from the beginning, however several other players have been closing the in the past week.
Notable mention should be given to Wahbit. Early in the game his three start area's were attacked by fluffy_bunnies, Ragnarook, and SOG. Each of these three countries were being run by champion caliber players, but Wahbit held out and continued to fight back for over a month before finally succumbing to overwhelming odds.
Ice World III is running on port 6665 on empire.wolfpaw.net. Updates are every other day at 6:00 MST. The visitor account is enabled, but being a hidden game the visitor account can't see very much.

Ice World III is now over with the alliance of Bananaland, Parphos, beep, and Wicked being declared the winners. Bananaland was the leader and muscle of the alliance. He did most of the fighting and was pretty much the only member of the winning
alliance to take and hold territory from the opposing alliance. Parphos also did part of the fighting for the alliance, but stayed competative in tech and provided fort coverage for low tech Bananaland. beep was the tech leader of the game and provided high tech toys to Bananaland and Parphos. Small Wicked converted his country into venture sectors and bankrolled the Bananaland war machine.
Ice World III started September 7th with 26 countries. It featured sabotage missions for spies and venture enterprise sectors. Each country started with three twenty-five sector start islands. There were at least nineteen sectors between islands any country started with. There was no free land. There was one update per day for the first week, one update every other day for the next eight weeks, and finished with
one update every three days. There was a nine day break for Christmas and New Years.
By the end of the first week before countries even had a chance to meet their neighbors; Draenor, Unknown, and fluffy_bunnies had already formed a secret alliance.
Early on several countries were starving or abandoned. The citizen leader, who considers such acts as hostile, quickly liberated a number of these islands and had an early size advantage. However in the forth week of the game, the peaceful citizens of beep were beset by a joint attack from Unknown and Draenor. beep lost one of his start areas in this attack. Draenor had built up an early tech lead.
Fluffy_bunnies were locked up in a deadly bunny battle with Wahbit. While fluffy was winning the bunny battle, the damage doomed both of the rabbit nations. When Ragnarook attacked a second Wahbit island, the bunnies agreed to peace and allowed Wahbit to keep six sectors as a safe haven. Wahbit held off Ragnarook for several weeks until his last island was invaded by SOG and fluffy took away the safe haven.
Draenor and Unknown continued with a joint attack against Undead. Undead lost one of his start islands and changed his country name to Arcadia-234. Draenor and Unknown then did a joint attack against Parphos.
To this point Bananaland had mostly been munching on fodder and killed off one Fish mainland. But everything changed when Bananaland invaded two fluffy_bunnies mainlands. One of those islands and the Fish mainland was near the Draenor/Unknown/Parphos border. Parphos traded territory he couldn't hold with Bananaland for the fluffy mainland.
Even though their alliance with fluffy still wasn't declared, Draenor and Unknown decided to come to their allies aid and simultaneously gave notice to Bananaland that they were ending non-aggression pacts with him. Once the pacts expired, Draenor and Unknown were able to drive Bananaland from the territory Parphos had swapped; however, on two other fronts, Bananaland was able to level a Draenor mainland and an Unknown mainland.
Draenor and Unknown then pleaded with Ragnarook to join them. Ragnarook had risen to the top of the power chart by munching mostly fodder. He was also allied with Parphos. Ragnarook had been supplying Parphos with planes to battle Draenor and Unknown. However Ragnarook had issue with how Parphos finished Ice World II, and didn't trust Bananaland because he hadn't heard of him. Ragnarook suddenly changed sides. He declared an alliance with Draenor and Unknown, and invaded the isolated Bananaland mainland that had already been heavily damaged by Draenor and x.
The situation looked bleak for Bananaland. For two weeks all alone, he faced the top three countries on the power chart (Ragnarook, Draenor, and Unknown), fluffy_bunnies, and SOG who had been purchasing weapons from Draenor. Parphos was able to shell a few Draenor sectors from his holdings on the ex-fluffy island, but he spent most of his resources invading a couple fodder countries. Bananaland cut back on technology production and started ordering weapons from beep. beep had recovered from his earlier setback and with a monumental effort had just claimed the tech lead from Draenor.
After claiming the isolated Bananaland island, Ragnarook did not have much of a border with Bananaland. Thus he concentrated on an invasion of Wicked which wasn't going very well. Draenor and Unknown were friendly with Wicked, but they needed Ragnarook's support in the battle with Bananaland. They tried to negotiate
peace between Ragnarook and Wicked. Wicked would agree if Ragnarook would withdraw from Wicked's start island; however, Ragnarook insisted that Wicked hand over the entire island. Because of this impasse, Draenor and Unknown ended their non- aggression pact with Wicked and invaded Wicked's other two start islands. Within a couple updates, Wicked was reduced to five heavily bombarded 0% forts and a 60% pt boat with one mil. [Pay attention - there is a lesson about never giving up here]
Bananaland was attacking like a madman. With hidden enabled his enemies drastically overestimated his strength. They held units in reserve that might have defeated Bananaland had they been used. Despite the odds, Bananaland had wiped out a Draenor mainland, the remains of a fluffy start area, and an Unknown
mainland without losing any territory near the border near Parphos. Behind the Unknown island was fluffy's last start area and the Wicked island in dispute with Ragnarook. Bananaland caught a break when SOG abandoned the game. So far the losses weren't too great because Draenor and Unknown had gained territory from Wicked and Blimp.
Leading countries on both sides of the war were considering throwing in the towel. Updates were dropped to once every three days. Bananaland encouraged Parphos to do more than just devour fodder. Parphos still allied with Ragnarook attacked
the gods of Asgard and claimed two islands they formerly shared. Parphos was disparaged in the announcements for this action. Being butchered on the battlefield and feeling betrayed by a former ally, the Draenor/Ragnarook/Unknown alliance convinced former neutral countries Kialune, Pern, and Thistle to join their side. Arcadia-234 and Fish were approached by both sides, but remained neutral for the rest of the game.
Wicked's last ship was sitting in Bananaland territory. Bananaland gave Wicked a sanctuary for his capital. Since venture production efficiency was inversely proportionate to country size, Bananaland set Wicked up to finance his war machine. On the extact same update, Draenor and Unknown started shipping 'cms to Pern to finance their economies.
Bananaland, Parphos, and beep then concentrated their effort on eliminating the Ragnarook stronghold south of the disputed Wicked island. Between beep's shelling and Bananaland's bombing, the Ragnarook stronghold was quickly crippled. So
too was the final fluffy islands. Bananaland took a couple weeks to occupy the territory since he was also holding the front against Draenor and Unknown, but by the end of November the Ragnarook stronghold had fell and fluffy_bunnies was eliminated from the game.
Ragnarook was regrouping around one of the islands Parphos had attacked. With the help of Kialune, Thistle, and Unknown; Ragnarook was able to reclaim the island. However Parphos had a string of four islands in a row there, and limited the
loss to only one island. By holding the line, Parphos stopped the opposition from openning another front with Bananaland.
A month after SOG abandoned his country, nations began eating away at SOG's territory to get to each other. With TECH_POP enabled, Draenor and Parphos were too big to effectively make technology. Draenor began giving territory away to Unknown, and Parphos was giving away territory to Bananaland. beep who was no longer fighting had extended the tech lead to almost eight points. Wicked was producing close to $300K per update for Bananaland. Pern and Thistle were producing almost as much for the opposition.
With only one major front left, Bananaland finally concentrated on the front with Draenor and Unknown. Concerned with beep's increasing tech lead, Unknown had planned a major attack on beep before Christmas using Kialune airports. A mere hours before this attack was going to take place, Bananaland missiles rained down on Unknown airports stranding hundreds of planes. beep had already left before the final update before Christmas. An Unknown attack that beep couldn't respond to could have bankrupted citizen leader, stopping his production and distribution. Instead Bananaland put a serious dent in the Unknown air force and finally advanced on the front that had been bloody and stalemated for almost two months.
After the Christmas break, Bananaland continued to attack the on the Unknown front -- taking two more islands and bombing the Unknown production centers. Unknown's production fueled most of the Pern and Thistle financial network. Bananaland declared vistory and the opposition conceded.

And Now The SUBBIES!
While Thistle was a new player and survived till the end, the Calder Memorial Subby for the best new player has to go to Wahbit. Early in the game his three start area's were attacked by fluffy_bunnies (Byzantium and Plundaria), Ragnarook (Mongol_Horde, Rook, and Temekula), and SOG (Amber and Africa Korp). Not many experienced players could have held out against simultaneous attacks by these players. Wahbit fought back for over a month and still went out with an amusing announcement sticking his tail in the face of his attackers.
The Tom Ridge Memorial Subby for the best homeland security goes to Kialune. Kialune was the only nation to keep all three of start islands and owned 100% of all three at the end of the game. Sure he signed a non-aggression pact with Bananaland to get part of one island back, but he still owned it at the end.
The Job Memorial Subby for not giving up goes to Wicked. Wicked stood firm in his beliefs. When the three most powerful countries and several allies requested that he surrender one of his islands, he refused to allow larger countries to bully him. Reduced to five sector and a 60% pt boat, he could have easily given up. Instead he stuck around and got part of the victory.
The Henry Kissinger Subby for the best diplomacy goes to Unknown (Bungholio). Unknown led the effort to convert Ragnarook from the other side. He also was very active in recruiting Pern, Kialune, and Thistle. Unknown coordinated most of the actions taken by the opposition. This award is very surprising because Bungholio has been known for serious diplomatic blunders in the past, but in this game he did a terrific job. Now if he could only learn to fight:)
The Tazmanian Devil Subby for attacking with reckless abandon goes to Bananaland. Strictly by the numbers on the power chart, Bananaland should have lost. However he attacked and defended with great skill. In this hidden game, Draenor and Unknown were estimating that Bananaland had almost twice what he really had. Bananaland's ability to fight carried the day.
