Title: Battle for Rebache
Post by: Anwyl on August 13, 2011, 07:12:35 am
A fun fight for everyone I think. Some very cool looking cav charges, and infantry assaults all around.

Here is the final score for anyone that was curious.  :mrgreen:

So how many kills does Huey really have if discounting TKs.

Too bad we had basically no cav or ranged, but I still had a good time.  Its nice to fight NA vs NA for once xD

Admittedly, FCC was far better equipped, but Silveredge sure as hell found enough arrows to make up for more than half my deaths.

Definitely the most fun I've had in a strategus battle yet, even with all the downblocking! Not nearly as much waiting around, not nearly as much ranged camping. I look forward to better equipped battles all around tonight.

Mercs are the only faction I know of that range camps. But then again, I didn't really get involved in many of the EU battles. Do all EU clans really have such a limited attack strategy?

Apparently you dont know crap about tactics either. Do you know what happens when an army with 200ping charges? Red is all you will see. (Red as in, your team dying)
Do you know what cav with 200ping vs cav with 60ping means? Red again.
And what happens when cav with 200ping tries to flank an army with 60ping? Some green and then just red.
What about ranged? Around 0.8-2:1 KD with 200ping.
You may counter this with "NA doesnt camp, herp" ... thing is they dont have all the archers to camp half of the battle... (Atleast I didnt count many in BRD battles...)

Over half the Merc battles I was in were on EU servers. That never affected their playing style though.

Btw, while sitting behind a shield wall and shooting is indeed a tactic, I'm far more impressed by the commanders who used more variety. I remember HRE doing an impressive job by attacking at different angles and even forming multiple attack groups while on the EU servers, which left the enemy with little ability to plan ahead. The move to hide behind a hill and provoke the defense to go after the spawn point was also somewhat genius. In other battles, the shield wall rushes that resulted from the heavy ranged concentration also ended up being somewhat detrimental to the pew pew pew tactic, but that still didn't provoke any change in tactics for the battles I was in.

EU has only ranged camp tactics? That's strange. There's only one battle I've fought in that had ranged camp and that was a BRD attack (I was defending) and they were camping failed as they were charged. Then again, I was only in a few of the Merc vs Gangbanger battles, so I guess I was only in the normal EU fights and not the high ping fights.

We haven't attacked any EU factions, meaning we have only defended on EU servers, so I hope you aren't saying we should attack as defender. And, as Mtemtko said, there isn't any other tactic than camping because you simply can't block with 200+ ping. Sure, if we had fought on EU servers we would have (probably) used different tactics, but we must first get an opportunity to fight against an EU clan.

There are plenty of NA archers to hire if NA really chose to go that route. We just choose not to. I wouldn't really call that any more or less advanced.

Fail, EU are better, in the hall of fame of cRPG it's obvious that EU are first (even if it's impossible to compare), and in general too, German, Russians, are killers in melee, some brits too, and some french (mercs founder for example), i don't even talk of Polish ppl who win the international contest... no sorry, fact is that NA have nothing for them except a big mouth.

Don't you start up too Huey.  You should know better than to butt into an argument with a blind bigot during his ranting about the failings and evils of all things NA.  Just drop it and get on the servers to practice your tk style.  Off with you now.

I wish bundle of stickss would stop complaining about other people using "unfair" tactics. Play to win. Always.

If there's a problem with how battles are being fought that should be solved with official rules or game mechanics, e.g. add time limits to battles based on army size and fix maps so people don't spawn outside invisible walls. Relying on Gentlemen's Rules always ends with the gentlemen losing and random people getting banned for doing what everyone else has also been doing.


What I want for Christmas: Clear rules. Everything that isn't specified in the rules is fair game.

This thread is retarded.

No one cares if X is better then Y. You should only care about Who Wins? If a clan won a fight then they had better fighters/tactics/underwear then the clan who lost (assuming no one cheats, so don't bring that up). It really is that simple.

For the record the whole EU>NA>EU bullshit is just old at this point.  There's enough stupidity across the entire history of the human species in every cultural area to place all nations under the same level of derp as the rest.

Honestly this thread was just to congratulate everyone on a well fought battle and nothing more.

Not my fault there are some butt hurt EU players out there. I'm not even sure why they are posting seeing as it was a NA vs NA fight.

ANYWAYS

This battle ruled as spectator.  Early ATS charge (w/ Goretooth in traditional black armor setup XD ) was pretty awesome.  FCC had some great cav flank attacks.  Overall ATS range/cav support was non-existent which seemed to cost them.  Truly an epic scene!

I personally don't understand some clans whoa re willign to sit around for months doing nothing but recruiting and farming gold.  If I was a member I would be bored out of my mind and quit their clan to go on brigand raids.  At least that would be more exciting than watching grass grow.  Hopefully Wiegraf's bandit hatchet army of doom idea will spread and become popular.  Would love to have lots of role playing bandits on this map, make it kind of like single player.
