Let's share stories :D

What was the largest battle you have ever participated in (or watched)? I'm defining "Largest Battle" fairly loosely, so if you saw my "battle" of the tribe of 12 vs the solo mithrilite armed with a sword and armour (which obviously results in the mithrilite pwning the large tribe, R.I.P my hard work), that doesn't automatically make your epic battle of two large tribes with explosives and tons of backup mithril rendered null. What was the most incredible battle you were able to witness?

For me, I have multiple candidates, and the best of which will have likely escaped my memory by this point (I vaugly remember a war of two tribes, where one wanted the other as slaves, while the other fought for their freedom, however I don't remember anything except the context and a couple lines of chat), but I'm nominating the war I joined over a castle on a mainland hill. It's documented in one of my blogs (this one, I'd highly reccomend you give it a read), and basically we had a few scuffles, and eventually me and my friend (the attackers) decided that our gunpowder raids were proving ineffective, so we changed tactics and got mithril and bluesteel. At the exact moment when they decided to make fun of us in chat for giving up, we were headed to their base, and caught one of their miners on a mining trip. We shot him, he created panic, and what ensued was probably better described as a massacre than a battle (we grossly over-prepared), and they'd lost a lot of weaponry while we were gone, but nonetheless it was still fun and they took it surprisingly well (or so I thought).

What battles have you been in?
