War. War never changes.
Except that it totally does; it's been a long time indeed if someone's months-prepared plan was to try and intimidate Zen members, including me, into defection. Not so long that it'd ever work, mind you.

Zen is winning (by a lot) just because the only alliance that pounded all of its weight, or at least tried to, was PE. But well, for me it has been a fun it, and despite not being in zen i think they are the fair winners for this one

But well, for me it has been a fun it, and despite not being in zen i think they are the fair winners for this one There's a helluva lot to be said for experience and especially a strong distribution of resources; given equal troop numbers and money invested into training and guns, an alliance of two equal nations is going to get their pants torn by an alliance of two nations that pumped up one nation to a greater degree. This remains the case regardless of who strikes first; if the equal alliance strikes the enemy weak point they simply get double-fronted by the stronger nation and start losing, and if the stronger nation strikes first then they still basically end up ahead for the same reason.
There's also of course the matter of research levels; the alliance that has a stronger FoI game will easily compound that advantage until they're orders of magnitude ahead of an alliance that didn't.
Simply put, you guys were just too late when you acted; if you'd managed to get a heavier investment earlier on then maybe Zen would have fallen, but with Vader's tech and our research economy we're pretty much the winners at this point. It's how bloc works these days.
Nukes are the remaining wildcard, if you can manage to hide a reactor long enough to build one... but even then, we'll get our nukes soon enough too, and even nukes can't actually fix the sheer weight of research levels.
GG, you'll get 'em next time

yeah, it was a total loss because GDI leadership just left and new leadership didn't really participate
