    From the article:

    The war on the Charlie server resulted in a stalemate where neither side was getting closer to winning, both had maxed out their technology, and all players were stuck in an end-game loop of manufacturing, delivering, and fighting with little to show for it.

    “The main reason is to ensure that new players that have joined Charlie in the last month get the chance to experience a war as it’s meant to be played, progressing through early, mid, and late phases of the tech tree,”

    -statement by the developer.

    Turns out simply releasing the statement was enough to end the war as the upcoming change got players to commit to a big war push and win the game before the change went thru.
