Bird vs Jammeyed, 57 defenders. Who's the care bears?
To be fair, Khorne and definitely Despotate actively merc for your side. So when Gobblins, as the biggest and most active faction in terms of number of active players, doesn't sign against them, AI has small rosters. (number of Gobblins actively on attacker side)
In contrast look at our siege, CC's siege, HOC, BIRD clan, Mithrim attacking ismirala last night. AI actually outnumbered attackers in almost every one of these.
Basically you need to join the merc-circlejerk or else be massively outnumbered by AI defenders. Which is fine, if it wasn't so blatantly boring and unbalanced to have the all the members of the merc circle-jerk get free castles and cities.
There's a difference between being care bears and everyone agreeing you're just a cunt.
I can already tell this thread is going to suck so bad.
fuck na? how about fuck yourself
Issue is there isn't enough players to expect people to randomly defend.
No one gives a fuck about AI feifs by default. So, of the people that sign up, usually less than half actually play. See tonight's Sungetche defense. 4 vs like 20.
Back in the day tons of normie pubbie scum would sign up to get their dicks bloody in a random siege. Now, if you want to milk the dwindling player base for defenders, the only way it'll happen is if it's political, ie: signing up to fuck up an enemy faction's attempt to cap a castle. Mod is without lifeblood.
Gotta wait for M:BG to come out for easy, big rosters to be a thing again. If that's even how it'll work. If it even becomes a thing.
Nope,
The most active faction is Dwarves, every one of our members is still contributing to the war effort. Phoenix is on holiday for a week and this coincides with his EU vacation on strat, but he'll be active again when he returns. One of us is a humble troop farmer, but he supports us with mighty ticks. Another of us is a random guy that applied to join the faction without messaging us that none of us knew, he doesn't respond to PMs but has amassed a significant wealth in silver that some day we hope will end up being used for the faction.
No AFKs in The Dwarven Miners Guild.
