First impressions about Village defense

[STR_Ivan_Grozny]

What I don't get is how the union managed to get that much gold/troops in such short time? The union actually had better equip than the villagers. They even had heavy armor and horses. All this while others r struggling to get even a bit of gold. Weird

We love raw flesh, its color and its stench.
We love to taste it in our hungry maws.
Are we to blame then, if your ribs should crunch,
Fragile between our massive, gentle paws?

The armor doesn't seem that bad considering their peasants. I would like to see better 1h weapons though, at least hatchets.

Also, I'm surprised more factions haven't started attacking villages yet. Just me personally, I've been able to amass 80 troops with relative ease, and I think if I had a gold/craft farming partner (or two), I could equip them well enough. Factions, get on your shit!

It looks like armor was prioritized over weapons? For the price of Ragged Outfits they could get Falchions, Spiked Clubs, or maybe  Handaxes, which would certainly be more useful than a length 40 hammer. At that length it practically auto-glances.

What have you been smoking? Length doesn't make things glance!

But they really should prioritize weapons a bit more.

Yeah, kinda the opposite.

nice update chadz... now that village have 250 tickets and 100k gold... =\

Dirigh Aban still has 500 tickets and over 150K gold. By any chance are you in Yagarah or whatever that village was that just got attacked? Or are some villages just easier prey than others now?

Edit: Never mind. I just realized what thread I'm in. chadz seems to have added 100K to each village. Though I think it is kind of a "screw you" to the union now that the population is back up to 250

[Sojetsu]

popul. increasing by ~120 at day, he increased gold in village to 100k (in others 150), but when we lost battle village had 49 ticked alive. balance? nice. wanna see when will be next village attack

[Matey]

soooo now villages have 3x more gold... but players still have fuck all? so we are looking at another like 2 weeks of stock piling gold before we can compete with villages gold quantities? i could see 250 pop and 100,000 gold... that could be interesting. but 500 pop and 150,000 gold? wtf.

suppose you could keep attacking them with poorly equipped suicide waves to run them out of equipment, ya know like the mujahedin...bleed'em dry

[Gristle]

Yes, it does. Has to do mostly with the hilt I think.

Pretty funny then how archers use the hammer with 1wpf and 0PS and still don't glance.

[Matey]

blunt.

[Jarlek]

blunt.

I know. I've yet to see the hammer glance except for hitting in the beginning of the animation. The comment that "at that length it practically auto-glances" is just silly. It really is a nice backup weapon, but I agree that it shouldn't be the "main" weapon for the AI to buy.

At the rate they seem to repopulate, that might be ineffective. It's best to just make a mass suicide horde. I predict people finally get annoyed as hell with the new gold system and just taking villages with 1500 troops armed with tridents.
