Title: Strategus 2.0 History
Post by: Keshian on September 12, 2011, 08:28:22 pm

Well, we have the Strategus History above thats outdated.  Time for a new official Strategus 2.0 History thread.

Great Khans (GK_Overdriven)

(click to show/hide)

When the Great Khans first entered Calradia they were divided and spread across the land. Chagan Arslan gathered the largest hordes of the Khans together and formed in the plains around Ichamur. Steppe bandits and villagers flocked to our banner after promises of fame and fortune stretched around the entire steppe. These individuals brought great wealth, enough to support an army, as well huge herds of livestock and most importantly, horses. The army of the Great Khans was never to run out of mounts. The first strike of GK occurred at Ada Kulun, a small village on the Northern Steppe. The lancers and horse archers fell upon the village defence, swiftly over taking it and bringing them to their knees. Villagers were no match for the prowess of their horsemen.

After Fru entered diplomatic talks with the Fallen Brigade, we accepted becoming a vassal and thus keeping Ada Kulun as their own. From then on the Great Khans provided the cavalry force for the Fallen and the Fallen provided needed infantry support for our armies. As our fame spread, more men joined the main force in Ada Kulun and Chagan sent individual Khan's to the assistance of Fallen infantry. In doing so they helped seize a number of fiefs throughout the steppe.

Once the war with the Northern Empire broke out, small forces were sent to keep Eastern Tsardom scouts from Ichamur. Our main force moved far South to the Eastern desert as one and through further diplomatic talks, traded Ada Kulun for Bardaq Castle and Uzgha. On sight of our mass of troops flooding in from the Steppe Plains, Acre sent a diplomat to talk to us, but Chagan Arslan was other wise disposed and the diplomat was sent back empty handed to Acre lands. It was at this point that Operation Happy Caravan was conceived. After recognising a weakness in Acre's fiefs and sensing the potential to strike The Great Khans declared war on Acre.

The main army launched an offensive with 6000 troops at Unriya whilst a smaller force held the rear to protect our fiefs. We swept upon Unriya, with horsemen striking their cavalry and infantry and tearing them apart whilst Fallen infantry support held the line and advanced against the enemy force. Although 2000 brave warriors were lost, the Acre army was utterly destroyed. Fishara surrendered and was taken peacefully and the Camels took Iqbayl in the same manner. The Great Khans had struck quickly and as a result taken all Acre land within a matter of days.

After losing their lands in the North, Hospitaller Lord's had relocated in Camels territory. It was from here that the Hospitaller Knights launched an offensive against Fishara, which was promptly reinforced by a small section of our army. Upon seeing our forces arrayed just outside the village, the Hospitaller's attempted to withdraw their troops. However, faith in their commanders was lost and their troops melted away into the desert.

Free Companies of Calradia (Kalam)

The Call for Blood
 I was wandering the seas on my dream quest (I was on vacation) when the Wheel of Strategus greeted it's Second Era. I had left the Bridgeburners in the capable hands of Corporals Cyranule, Keshian, and Matey, and decided that I would let them continue leading the clan. They, of course, refused. I returned to my post, albeit affected by a wickedly strong ('twas actually pharyngitis) case of the scurvy.

 Informed that we had decided to take the fiefs surrounding Dhirim in Calradia's heartlands, I was a little surprised, since my personal inclination is similar to the then-Emperor Ecko's: hold land in a corner and poke at distant factions through deniable forces. It became quickly apparent that the Mercenaries, too, wanted the area, so we talked in an effort to maintain peace.

 I knew the Mercenaries of old- Calradia's elite soldiers for hire, disciplined in matters of war (if not peace) and, as the talks revealed, fully aware of their status. They offered us a deal involving re-location. Now, this seemed reasonable to me individually, but I had to confirm that the clan wanted the same. Telling the Mercenaries I'd get back to them later, I left the talks to see what the Bridgeburners and Cavalieres thought.

 The reaction was strong. You see, I'd forgotten who we were. I'd lost my way, and the story of the Bridgeburners of the Second Era, is, at it's heart, the story of a juvenile clan growing into adulthood and finding it's place in the world. At any rate, the men of the Free Companies reminded me. The Mercenaries essentially gave us an ultimatum, and to us, that was a brazen threat.

 In reply, we launched the ugliest war of the Second Era.

 The first battle showed how undisciplined we had become, and it was a surprise that it didn't break the morale of our untested recruits. This was probably thanks to the fact that we were attacking the Europeans, and there's no greater excuse for one's personal shortcomings than fighting on unfamiliar (EU ping) territory. Most of our leaders were veterans of the First Era, but that didn't mean we weren't new to this- to leading this many men. We were just ten, then, and we fought battles for others, using others. So our natural inclination was to find European mercenaries to fight our battles.

 How wrong we were. The mercenaries we'd hired were even more undisciplined than we were. They did not heed our commands, and the enemy won a decisive victory by taking us in the (capturing our spawn) rear, routing our army. Their superior archers rained hell upon our own, and balanced with their heavy cavalry and experienced infantry, we were crushed. Still, the men of the Free Companies weren't daunted. Each loss added fuel to the flame that burned in every free man's heart.

 Ferocity was something that we had plenty of, but discipline was not. Squadron Commander Flawless (we stepped up training sessions) whipped us into fighting shape, forcing us to burn away the complacency of peace. Learning to rely only on ourselves and allies we trusted with our lives, we fought the Mercenaries at every turn. Their battle prowess and tactical awareness (they did better in battles, we did better on the Strat map) was superior to ours, but the ingenuity and tenacity of our men allowed us to win some battles.

 The war wasn't just fought on the battlefield- it was also fought in the hearts and minds (flamewars) of the peasants that peopled the land. As our recon teams discovered the movements of other factions vying for power supporting our enemies, we, too, searched for allies. We called to the Kingdom of Veluca for aid, and they came, joining the fight with a fervor we embraced. As the war raged on, we were joined by the Knights of the Black Rose, too, and others who supported our side or the enemy's. Even so, we were losing ground.

 Soured by the vitriol in the hearts of both sides, the war took a turn for the worst. We had become men who didn't care for lofty ideas like honor, glory, and justice. We became men who only cared for blood- and the gods didn't protect the innocents who came between us and blood. The more we lost, the harder we fought- for we had less to lose. At our darkest hour, the Chosen Hands of the Ascended Order of Stratia stepped in to negotiate a diplomatic miracle. 

 The miracle? We accepted peace, relinquished all claims to the area, and went elsewhere. Where, you might ask? I'll tell you the story some other time.

Lots and Lots of Jolly Knights (LLJK_Rikthorr)

A short time ago, in Strategus not so far away:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHMAB8qpbU8&feature=fvst

Operation: Party in the Desert

LLJK immediately took up residence in our most holy land Afgoonistan in the western most part of the desert. Howeaver, we soon found our holy lands infested by some Crusdaers of Acro who thought this to be their holy lands. They were wrong and cast aside for their blasphemies or so we thought.

Operation: I Have a Bad Feeling About This

It soon became apparent we were not alone in the desert as the middle of the desert was taking by SoA and the eastern fringe was taken by someone else. But, that was not meant to be the story as it were. Soon our Western lands of peace and freedom were infested by foreigners speaking gibberish and talking about their math skills. Through our not so careful spy network we found out a secret jihad been declared against us by the Coalition of the Not So Honorable™.

Operation: Afgoony Freedom

The original Coalition of the Not So Honorable™ consisted of Shogunate, VRN, Pecores, Sea Raiders, Knights Templar, Acre, and Sovereignty of Aegis and they launched their campaign of terror against us poor LLJK scrubs/noobs/gays/bads/(insert random insult). Pecores launched the first major offensive taking our beloved city.  These were dark times indeed as the gods(a hacker) mercilessly interfered in our battle and the subsequent battle to liberate our fallen city. Pecores were thrown out of Ayn Assaudi and VRN was torn to pieces. Then SoA, glory be to them, kicked out the Knight Templars from their lands realizing they would surely be betrayed by the not so honorable weeabo commander Ujin and his northern accomplice Ecko. While we celebrated a seemingly great victory, our enemies had amassed what was meant to be a final invasion force of Afgoonistan.

Operation: GoonD-Day

We said good by to our loved ones and our stash of Mountain Dews as we stared down the barrel at 5 armies amassed to our north and northwest, each numbering from 1-1.5k in men. ATS had sent supplies to the Coalition of the Not So Honorable™ and and 1k army led by the artist formerly known as Goretooth to aid 2 armies of Shogunate weeabos, 1 army of Templars, and 1 army of Sea Raiders. We saw the enemies coming and we smiled for that day we unleashed SUPERIOR GOON TACTICS™ and decimated all comers. Pecores and Templars were destroyed without mercy, and the grand weeabo Army 1 was routed. We also had another reason to smile, the Shogunate found out the hard way we goons were not as friendless as we were thought to be.

Operation: Risen/Legio/Bashi Smash

Our fine Eu friends decided that Shogunate_Ujin could not be trusted and smashed into the Shogunate lands from the North while we sent our humble army from the Southeast into the weeabo territory. The battles were fierce and plenty until a cold war appeared as all sides hunkered down to survive the impending winter and spawn rushing tactics.

Operation: Northern Empire is a Paper Tiger

Hearing a great war was raging in the North, we packed our bags and sent our army northward to help in the Great War Against Northern Aggression. However, be the slow and maybe chubby goons  that we are, it took us a few days to arrive. By that time, the fear inspiring Ecko_ATS had adorned Kesh in diamonds and had disappeared off into the wild blue yonder. We managed to snag a piece of Northern Empire property and sold it to the real estate conglomerate of the FCC.

Operation: Fall of the Shogunate Byzantium

With the cold war over, hostilities resumed and the blood flowed. the Pecores fought valiantly to very end but alas their city was taken and they were sent packing to other lands. The former weeabo menace was trounced time and time again until finally thier lands were no more. The Mountain Dew flowed and many bags of Cheetos were eaten that day as we celebrated the fall of our enemy. We settled down for a time of peace and rebuilding, for freedom had won out over two massive alliances as the Northern Empire had fallen sometime before the fall of the Coalition of the Not So Honorable™.

Operation: Wait, Who is Attacking Us?

So it came to our last battle of Strat 2.0 against a terrible and formidable foe of OCF, who none of us had even heard of. Through our superior spy network we learned they were vassals/friends/buddies/something of the evil French, Pecores. They threw themselves at a small village of ours but found themselves encircled and slaughtered by the forces of the Goontooth. We began to plan our next great liberation...

Operation: Fat Tortoise
Coming Soon™

Risen (Risen_Thovex)

(click to show/hide)

The Risen appeared in Strategus starting at Yalen, gathering up, claimed the fiefs of Ilvia, Reveran, Glunmar and Istiniar, shortly however D'Haran Legion came in the way and attacked Glunmar, they took it and defended in north-american servers we had to push them out of there, so we took Ilvia, Reveran and then attacked Glunmar, with result of 1:1 losses in a NA servers (Thank you Mercs, especially CHAOS.), after this battle the Brothers in Arms appeared in our lands and attacked Istiniar, however failed and we took it shortly after with no trouble, again.

We made new friends at the BashiBazouk and Legione Italica and went in full-alliance with both of them, our northern neighbours, which are Union and Grey shown themselves as friendlies towards us, we fought for them and they fought for us.

Shortly after we became friends we also had Shogunate/Pillagers (or Byzantium) settling near us at the place of Jelkala, which was first claimed by Legione Italica, so they had been pushed back for the time being, we also found out they had been conspiring against the Union, and trying to convince us that the Grey Order is going to stab us in the back.

Paranoid Ujin shortly found a couple of armies at their border, during the attacks of LLJK, while a spawn-glitch destroyed Legione Italica's army, Risen's army found itself got roster-hacked and reported it to chadz immediatly.

BashiBazouk retreated from that battle because it was too risky.

... So it has been calm for a while in Strategus when we decided to attack again with BashiBazouk, Union, Legione Italica and later on LLJK-lulz-squad, a day later we had another update fixing the spawns, which created much joy in the upcoming battles and most battles were really close, and kept on going for a 5 days and the Shogunate/Byzantium and Pillagers had been kicked out their lands and the people they gave Shelter, which was Nordmen, DenBitre and The Kapikulu, which also were forced to move home, they have been, from the looks of it quitted Strategus since no Byzantium ever moved again.

Furthermore we attacked Maras Castle and took it over with the loss of a thousand tickets, after this we've waited till the Strategus Gold Wipe, and then nothing happened for the past weeks besides naked battles up north.

Wolves (Wolves_Kingrimm)

Journey of the Wolves

A whelp was born and looked around in the vicinity of Shariz.
He saw lots of others already close to him and so he decided to go to the far west in hope to find some land to settle.

When he reached the west around Yalen with a small group of companions he talked to the local crowed those called Risen. There the whelp had to learn that all was already splitted between an alliance and he was told to leave.

In a sad mood he went to the center of Caladria where he then contacted the proud warrior folks called "The Mercenaries", he struck his first deal, the word was given and a goal from now on to be seeked. Support those who are willing to support him till the claims would be realised.

What a glorious day when we took Ayyike and had a home, but our friends were attacked and we come to their aid, in the process we lost our home but didn't brake our word. Mistakes were made, battles lost and won, in the end we were exausted by a 20 days war with lots of fierce battles. Enemies of our contract partner were pushed back on and on and new once seem to came all along and over again. At last it seemed we got the upper hand, but then Chaos intervened, 8.5k troops after all that war, we could have taken them but it was decided to go with peace. 3 days talking, compromises on both sites and peace in the end. Through these talks we came to our claims Ayyike, Tebandra and Ulburban and the former enemies left to strike war in another place in the north.

Still it wasn't peaceful, more misunderstandings, Raven tried to attack, but diplomacy brought a solution.
Afterwards the a good bunch of friends joined us as vassals, Bandits/Wargs, however you would call them we call them friends.

Our vassals then were restless and seeked war on themselves, something which was told before they were accepted not to do.
We helped them in a defence against Grey Order which were disturbed by my vassals public appearance. To not loose my face and get something out of a bad situation we made a deal with the Grey Order about Dramug Castle which they helped to conquer and then handed it over to the Wolves Pack Mercenaries.

Through gold shortages we disbanded some of our troops to protect Reyvadin ;) and shortly afterwards the night fall over Caladria.

Bashibazouks (Bashibazouk_HarunYahya)

(click to show/hide)

We started Strategus with 15 members . It was our first strategus experience.We formed an alliance with Risen and Legio and we settled down on Dirigsene and Dumar . By the time our clan gets bigger and bigger...
We asked WARPIGS to fight with us on Strategus and gladly they did.We had 40 BashiBazouks and more than 10 WARPIGS on our Strategus faction on later period of Strategus.Our recruitment was closed when we left Kapikulu and formed this clan .When strategus released, we understood that we need more numbers , we opened recruitment and in a little time we recruited a lot .We started strategus as a small and weak faction , we finished as a strong one.worked hard on both diplomacy and battle tactics.We started as a 3 way alliance some called it YMCA(Young Men's Calradian Alliance) some called it Trident Alliance or United Jihad . Our friendship with Legio and Risen based on early period of our clan . During that time we were managing friendly clan battles to see how other clans play . It was good training for us and our competitor also by that we strated to getting know of each other...
We wanted to play with Legio and Risen on new Strategus and we told it to them, gladly they accepted and we announced our alliance.I think they didn't expect that we could do so much on Strategus because when we announced our alliance we had only 15 members who don't know anything about Strategus.That turned out to be wrong in future with our massive recruitment campaign we became a powerful ally.On our first attack to Shogunates and Pillagers we were late at sending our army to border.Legio and Risen attacked Shogunates but our army just arrived to border and when we did,we decided to lock down Hardsteppa's army of 2k before they reinforce the village that Risen attack.Weird but the only playable battle was ours against Hardsteppa which was 650 vs 2.000.Legios had spawn bug issue and they lost all their equipment to Pillagers due to that.Battle lasted for few minutes only,they capped attackers spawn.Risen were hacked and their roster erased, they lost all their equipment also then we decided not to attack with our main army before those bugs cleared out.We started to play defensive and protect our border . When chadz released fix to spawn bugs we started our new campaign and things went better.This time we attacked with 11k troops at the right time and killed 6.5k on Ruldi.With remaining troops and reinforce of Risen,Legio and LLJK we attacked Chelez with 10k defenders were around 6k again.We took it also.Risen took Buvran on a thriller battle which was like 16-0 ticket at the last.Legios had trouble on Pillagers lands,they fought hard but spawns and hills on Pillager lands had huge handicaps for attackers.They killed many defenders on Emer .They attacked emer twice, both of them were bloody battles.After Legios attacks,Union came and started to finish off those scattered villages.LLJK attacked Ibdeles and they took it without too many resistance.That's how we wiped out Shogunate-Pillagers+ Small clans coalition.We expected Caravan Guards to help Shogunates since they are allied but they just sent 2.5k troops and they got killed easily by Union's army on the road.After we claim Rhodok Highlands,we played a little defensive,our clans settled down their new fiefs and we started to take defensive positions to our borders to east.We took Almerra castle but again there wasn't any aggressive movements from Guards.
Then items + golds wiped out we started to replenish our economy and then full wipe came.
That's history of BashiBazouks on Strategus v2.0 period.


There were some important issues on Strat 2 for us:

Kapikulu , our ex-clan got wiped 2 times .(First by Crusaders of Acre , second one by us. They were supporting Shogunates with 3.5k troops.  We asked them to stop it and leave those lands without harm, they refused and died by our mujahideen's sword.
They threatened Bandits by "Attacking a fallen friendly clan is not wise" sentence , we supported Bandits with roster support against Turks attacks on early period of strategus then Turks declared war on us. Also when they wiped out from their first claims, fallens took one of their claims , Bardaq Castle. Which was a good source to laugh about their friendship.

Abay our ex-leader on Kapikulu , came back from death ! (His funeral ceremony : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U02Y2B6MUjo&feature=related)
He posted a letter and he said "This is my suicide letter, i resign from Kapikulu and i erased this game, i won't ever play it again" after we left and yet some remaining kapikulus wanted some changes on Abay's reign.Then few weeks later he showed up again and said "This is son of Abay , Barbaros and i'll contiune my father's teachings on a new clan Called Abays."He formed an alliance called Royal Union . It had Abays,Inglorious Bastards and English Kingdom.It also allied with The Turks . That failed also.They declared war on Merceneries when Mercs were under heavy attack from multiple clans.They probably hoped to take some fiefs from mercs but that idea went badly and  prepared the end of Royal Union.
Then Abay posted a thread on turkish forum which is "Abays are now Fallen's vassal ! Any attacks against Abays means attacks against Fallen !" which was another fail idea since Great Khans, fallen's real vassal attacked and wiped Abays off the map lol.

Well, we have the Strategus History above thats outdated.  Time for a new official Strategus 2.0 History thread.

I'll start it off:

The FCC started fighting the third day of Strategus 2.0, we fought every day until the very end with some of our close allies, most notably the Kingdom of Veluca who were the the third clan to take a city (counter-strike style, 4 mercs assasinating the evil dictator, no deaths, 1 kill, in under 5 minutes) and still held most of the snow fiefs in the North before it was all wiped.  The end.

short simple and to the point i like it

From Thovex (Risen Diplomat)

(click to show/hide)

The Risen appeared in Strategus starting at Yalen, gathering up, claimed the fiefs of Ilvia, Reveran, Glunmar and Istiniar, shortly however D'Haran Legion came in the way and attacked Glunmar, they took it and defended in north-american servers we had to push them out of there, so we took Ilvia, Reveran and then attacked Glunmar, with result of 1:1 losses in a NA servers (Thank you Mercs, especially CHAOS.), after this battle the Brothers in Arms appeared in our lands and attacked Istiniar, however failed and we took it shortly after with no trouble, again.

1) Took Reveran, Ilvia
D'Haran Legion wiped out
2) Took Glunmar
Brothers in Arms wiped out
3) Took Istiniar
Attacked Shogunate/Pillagers. (Hack disturbing)
Smashed Byzantium and Pillagers into the floor with LLJK, Bashi and Legio

Pillagers wiped out.
4) Took Buvran
5) Took Dumar, Dirigsene (ex-BashiBazouk)
6) Gave Buvran Away
Shoot Byzantions and Turks all over the map
7) Took Maras Castle
???

End

May as well for the hell of it:

Great Khans

(click to show/hide)

When the Great Khans first entered Calradia they were divided and spread across the land. Chagan Arslan gathered the largest hordes of the Khans together and formed in the plains around Ichamur. Steppe bandits and villagers flocked to our banner after promises of fame and fortune stretched around the entire steppe. These individuals brought great wealth, enough to support an army, as well huge herds of livestock and most importantly, horses. The army of the Great Khans was never to run out of mounts. The first strike of GK occurred at Ada Kulun, a small village on the Northern Steppe. The lancers and horse archers fell upon the village defence, swiftly over taking it and bringing them to their knees. Villagers were no match for the prowess of their horsemen.

After Fru entered diplomatic talks with the Fallen Brigade, we accepted becoming a vassal and thus keeping Ada Kulun as their own. From then on the Great Khans provided the cavalry force for the Fallen and the Fallen provided needed infantry support for our armies. As our fame spread, more men joined the main force in Ada Kulun and Chagan sent individual Khan's to the assistance of Fallen infantry. In doing so they helped seize a number of fiefs throughout the steppe.

Once the war with the Northern Empire broke out, small forces were sent to keep Eastern Tsardom scouts from Ichamur. Our main force moved far South to the Eastern desert as one and through further diplomatic talks, traded Ada Kulun for Bardaq Castle and Uzgha. On sight of our mass of troops flooding in from the Steppe Plains, Acre sent a diplomat to talk to us, but Chagan Arslan was other wise disposed and the diplomat was sent back empty handed to Acre lands. It was at this point that Operation Happy Caravan was conceived. After recognising a weakness in Acre's fiefs and sensing the potential to strike The Great Khans declared war on Acre.

The main army launched an offensive with 6000 troops at Unriya whilst a smaller force held the rear to protect our fiefs. We swept upon Unriya, with horsemen striking their cavalry and infantry and tearing them apart whilst Fallen infantry support held the line and advanced against the enemy force. Although 2000 brave warriors were lost, the Acre army was utterly destroyed. Fishara surrendered and was taken peacefully and the Camels took Iqbayl in the same manner. The Great Khans had struck quickly and as a result taken all Acre land within a matter of days.

After losing their lands in the North, Hospitaller Lord's had relocated in Camels territory. It was from here that the Hospitaller Knights launched an offensive against Fishara, which was promptly reinforced by a small section of our army. Upon seeing our forces arrayed just outside the village, the Hospitaller's attempted to withdraw their troops. However, faith in their commanders was lost and their troops melted away into the desert.

Nice story Rikthor, i especially liked that you revealed the NE participation in that war, with 1.000 troops and 1.000.000 gold confirmed, and probably much more hidden support.
It shows clearly that Byzantium words are mere propaganda(they whined about our being OP). We were indeed, but not because they lacked enough friends that's sure  :D

Not sure when this was taken, but things were hectic in the North. and at the time of the gold wipe, Chaos had dropped to 1 fief, TKOV had gone up to 5 fiefs, including a city and blackrose had ebcome Invictus and had gained at least 1 fief (they got the 2nd I think at the time of the gold wipe).

Lets get some more role-playing in these stories, I really enjoy those.

Due to a leadership arrangement before things got going HRE took Zagush, no further arangements were made for Fallen to regain possession of it. And then some other stuff happened, battles and such.

Well that is not entirely true, we would have eventually come into conflict because you held Mazigh, which is a Desert province.

It should also be noted that LLJK participated in the FCC vs Northern Empire war, however short is was.

Post by: Smoothrich on September 13, 2011, 11:57:59 am

ATS seems like they sent nearly half of their gold value to fund LLJK extermination within 1-2 weeks of Strat starting, because for some reason a neutral clan on the very opposite side of the map was a much, much higher priority then the enemies that surrounded Northern Empire lands.  Also they spent all of their remaining gold on 1 army with typical top end cRPG Battle server gear that got beaten by a spawn cap (where BRD got to loot it all) midway through a battle.  Seems like no one in ATS but Ecko  knew how to equip an army, manage gold, shuffle troop around, or anything because after this one over-excessively geared army lost they literally stopped fighting every single battle.  They must've had thousands of more tickets, could have had many smaller armies resist every siege but they just straight up refused.  Eastern Tsardom refused to participate in any battles and instantly abandoned the war after ATS lost one battle, and the Hospitallers bitterly defended every possession they had with whatever gear (mostly low quality)  they could buy.

I got the impression that Ecko did not let anyone else learn how to play Strat, made all the NE clans pool money to him, blew most of the money in a failed alliance with Shogunate trying to wipe out LLJK at the very start (how rude) and buying inefficient gear.  I remember Ecko flaunting how he had meticulous plans on how to deal with every major faction in Strategus wars, but apparently he forgot to draw up the "buy gear, fight battles, defend fiefs" part of the game.  Which is basically the entire point..

FCC showed how effective a stubborn resistance could be, along with having good allies and knowing how to fight Strategus battles.  Obviously losing a war isn't too entertaining but actually having gear for all your troops and playing the battles is fun, jesus christ why didn't anyone show up,  most fiefs strongly favor defenders.

Special shout out to all the completely landless clans that decided mass attacking LLJK for their lands was more important then getting neutral fiefs or checking the expansion of organizations like The Grey Order.  See you all next Strat!

Can we bump this up to the "red-tagged" thread along with the old Strategus history?

When you add all the submitted accounts to the original post Boss Awesome-style. Anyhoo...here's my account.

(click to show/hide)

The Call for Blood

 I was wandering the seas on my dream quest (I was on vacation) when the Wheel of Strategus greeted it's Second Era. I had left the Bridgeburners in the capable hands of Corporals Cyranule, Keshian, and Matey, and decided that I would let them continue leading the clan. They, of course, refused. I returned to my post, albeit affected by a wickedly strong ('twas actually pharyngitis) case of the scurvy.

 Informed that we had decided to take the fiefs surrounding Dhirim in Calradia's heartlands, I was a little surprised, since my personal inclination is similar to the then-Emperor Ecko's: hold land in a corner and poke at distant factions through deniable forces. It became quickly apparent that the Mercenaries, too, wanted the area, so we talked in an effort to maintain peace.

 I knew the Mercenaries of old- Calradia's elite soldiers for hire, disciplined in matters of war (if not peace) and, as the talks revealed, fully aware of their status. They offered us a deal involving re-location. Now, this seemed reasonable to me individually, but I had to confirm that the clan wanted the same. Telling the Mercenaries I'd get back to them later, I left the talks to see what the Bridgeburners and Cavalieres thought.

 The reaction was strong. You see, I'd forgotten who we were. I'd lost my way, and the story of the Bridgeburners of the Second Era, is, at it's heart, the story of a juvenile clan growing into adulthood and finding it's place in the world. At any rate, the men of the Free Companies reminded me. The Mercenaries essentially gave us an ultimatum, and to us, that was a brazen threat.

 In reply, we launched the ugliest war of the Second Era.

 The first battle showed how undisciplined we had become, and it was a surprise that it didn't break the morale of our untested recruits. This was probably thanks to the fact that we were attacking the Europeans, and there's no greater excuse for one's personal shortcomings than fighting on unfamiliar (EU ping) territory. Most of our leaders were veterans of the First Era, but that didn't mean we weren't new to this- to leading this many men. We were just ten, then, and we fought battles for others, using others. So our natural inclination was to find European mercenaries to fight our battles.

 How wrong we were. The mercenaries we'd hired were even more undisciplined than we were. They did not heed our commands, and the enemy won a decisive victory by taking us in the (capturing our spawn) rear, routing our army. Their superior archers rained hell upon our own, and balanced with their heavy cavalry and experienced infantry, we were crushed. Still, the men of the Free Companies weren't daunted. Each loss added fuel to the flame that burned in every free man's heart.

 Ferocity was something that we had plenty of, but discipline was not. Squadron Commander Flawless (we stepped up training sessions) whipped us into fighting shape, forcing us to burn away the complacency of peace. Learning to rely only on ourselves and allies we trusted with our lives, we fought the Mercenaries at every turn. Their battle prowess and tactical awareness (they did better in battles, we did better on the Strat map) was superior to ours, but the ingenuity and tenacity of our men allowed us to win some battles.

 The war wasn't just fought on the battlefield- it was also fought in the hearts and minds (flamewars) of the peasants that peopled the land. As our recon teams discovered the movements of other factions vying for power supporting our enemies, we, too, searched for allies. We called to the Kingdom of Veluca for aid, and they came, joining the fight with a fervor we embraced. As the war raged on, we were joined by the Knights of the Black Rose, too, and others who supported our side or the enemy's. Even so, we were losing ground.

 Soured by the vitriol in the hearts of both sides, the war took a turn for the worst. We had become men who didn't care for lofty ideas like honor, glory, and justice. We became men who only cared for blood- and the gods didn't protect the innocents who came between us and blood. The more we lost, the harder we fought- for we had less to lose. At our darkest hour, the Chosen Hands of the Ascended Order of Stratia stepped in to negotiate a diplomatic miracle. 

 The miracle? We accepted peace, relinquished all claims to the area, and went elsewhere. Where, you might ask? I'll tell you the story some other time.

We did wipe you out in previous Strat, what are you talking about? You came back and took the desert lands long time after we did our pub crawl thing.

We've had 1 open field battle against you, in which we've discovered the wonderful (let's admit it , it hurt pretty much everybody) spawn system for attackers, i think we've managed to hold our spawn for about 5 minutes but eventually you took it with massive cav usage. Than we got attacked by our northern neighbours and pulled back. Keep making your e-peen look bigger than it actually is.

Again, ATS brought 1k army and very good equipment  (worth about 1kkk). Keep overexxagerating stuff, like you do when you talk about our "GRANDIOSE COALITION AGAINST LLJK".

They spent a million worth of equipment defending Rebache and accidentally left 320K in the village gold coffers.  Then they spent a another million and half gold worth of equipment trying to take Rebache back and we were beating them soundly in that one too, and eventually took their spawn halfway through and got it all.  We were all screaming "We're rich, biatch."  Also, the 12.3K defending the last castle held by Hospitallers that we took with 11.5K had over a million worth of gear, something like 3000 xbows or more with almost everyone using heraldic mails on defense side.

It warms my old ninja bones that Ninja ended higher on the fiefs ladder than about ten clans. Not that we did anything though.

Pro-Tip: Do not make your channel password "lljk is gay" because that's like the first thing we'll try.

You seriously went to the channel and typed 'lljk is gay' as your first guess and it worked?

Actually my comment was about how he was just shitting in a serious thread about Strategus history (what happened?) instead of actually posting their history in Strategus 2.0. All I wanted was to hear how they viewed it all, instead of the random whine/bs/paranoia they posted in the other threads. This thread was meant to be a history thread like the other one, and it just saddened me that he started trolling/whining/whatever instead of actually doing some rp/semi-rp history recap.

PS: When people say stuff like GLORIOUS X and DISHONORABLY Y it's RP in the History thread.

The Call for Blood

 I was wandering the seas on my dream quest (I was on vacation) when the Wheel of Strategus greeted it's Second Era. I had left the Bridgeburners in the capable hands of Corporals Cyranule, Keshian, and Matey, and decided that I would let them continue leading the clan. They, of course, refused. I returned to my post, albeit affected by a wickedly strong ('twas actually pharyngitis) case of the scurvy.

 Informed that we had decided to take the fiefs surrounding Dhirim in Calradia's heartlands, I was a little surprised, since my personal inclination is similar to the then-Emperor Ecko's: hold land in a corner and poke at distant factions through deniable forces. It became quickly apparent that the Mercenaries, too, wanted the area, so we talked in an effort to maintain peace.

 I knew the Mercenaries of old- Calradia's elite soldiers for hire, disciplined in matters of war (if not peace) and, as the talks revealed, fully aware of their status. They offered us a deal involving re-location. Now, this seemed reasonable to me individually, but I had to confirm that the clan wanted the same. Telling the Mercenaries I'd get back to them later, I left the talks to see what the Bridgeburners and Cavalieres thought.

 The reaction was strong. You see, I'd forgotten who we were. I'd lost my way, and the story of the Bridgeburners of the Second Era, is, at it's heart, the story of a juvenile clan growing into adulthood and finding it's place in the world. At any rate, the men of the Free Companies reminded me. The Mercenaries essentially gave us an ultimatum, and to us, that was a brazen threat.

 In reply, we launched the ugliest war of the Second Era.

 The first battle showed how undisciplined we had become, and it was a surprise that it didn't break the morale of our untested recruits. This was probably thanks to the fact that we were attacking the Europeans, and there's no greater excuse for one's personal shortcomings than fighting on unfamiliar (EU ping) territory. Most of our leaders were veterans of the First Era, but that didn't mean we weren't new to this- to leading this many men. We were just ten, then, and we fought battles for others, using others. So our natural inclination was to find European mercenaries to fight our battles.

 How wrong we were. The mercenaries we'd hired were even more undisciplined than we were. They did not heed our commands, and the enemy won a decisive victory by taking us in the (capturing our spawn) rear, routing our army. Their superior archers rained hell upon our own, and balanced with their heavy cavalry and experienced infantry, we were crushed. Still, the men of the Free Companies weren't daunted. Each loss added fuel to the flame that burned in every free man's heart.

 Ferocity was something that we had plenty of, but discipline was not. Squadron Commander Flawless (we stepped up training sessions) whipped us into fighting shape, forcing us to burn away the complacency of peace. Learning to rely only on ourselves and allies we trusted with our lives, we fought the Mercenaries at every turn. Their battle prowess and tactical awareness (they did better in battles, we did better on the Strat map) was superior to ours, but the ingenuity and tenacity of our men allowed us to win some battles.

 The war wasn't just fought on the battlefield- it was also fought in the hearts and minds (flamewars) of the peasants that peopled the land. As our recon teams discovered the movements of other factions vying for power supporting our enemies, we, too, searched for allies. We called to the Kingdom of Veluca for aid, and they came, joining the fight with a fervor we embraced. As the war raged on, we were joined by the Knights of the Black Rose, too, and others who supported our side or the enemy's. Even so, we were losing ground.

 Soured by the vitriol in the hearts of both sides, the war took a turn for the worst. We had become men who didn't care for lofty ideas like honor, glory, and justice. We became men who only cared for blood- and the gods didn't protect the innocents who came between us and blood. The more we lost, the harder we fought- for we had less to lose. At our darkest hour, the Chosen Hands of the Ascended Order of Stratia stepped in to negotiate a diplomatic miracle. 

 The miracle? We accepted peace, relinquished all claims to the area, and went elsewhere. Where, you might ask? I'll tell you the story some other time.

Well, it seems most of the snide comments are not being taken as jokes.

Honestly, LLJK really holds no standing grudges and hostilities to the clans involved in the little Coalition that could, you tried, and failed, the only real threat in all of this was the Shogunate, who were toppled upon by another coalition far greater than theirs. They got out-coalitioned I guess, either way, like I said before here (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,13653.msg200754.html#msg200754), I respect the fact you guys fought to the very last fief, it was fun.

So until Strategus 3.0 then..

e: Also, how much did people spend cRPG gold wise on this beta before it was wiped? I know Tydeus spent a small fortune.

For anyone unfamiliar with the coalition that was originally formed that launched us into attack, since this is a history thread, you can listen to this recording (http://soundcloud.com/phantomzero/badplan-1/s-1fBi1) for a little bit of a laugh.

Ujin is correct. We did wipe you from Strategus last year. Fair game, hand shakes and all, water under the bridge.

What needs to happen is that some people need to step down from their high(Plated chargers) horses and shake eachothers hands. Honestly, like maybe invite eachother for karoake on the Teamspeak or somethin'. Just to get to know eachother alittle more and clear some misunderstandings. Both sides are clearly up for some fun.

The arguing and trolling is getting alittle tedious and annoying, guns ablazing doesn't seem to get anything done(Especially over the internet  :o ). So a peace movement of sorts would be ideal(Utopian maybe).
So if people can drop their weapons and just try to be nice to eachother, it'd be pretty awesome. Despite whoever did what, when where and why. Forget about that stuff, because its getting old.

Sounding like a hippy, talk about 60's love!

Title: Journey of the Wolves
Post by: kinngrimm on September 14, 2011, 07:32:20 pm

Journey of the Wolves

A whelp was born and looked around in the vicinity of Shariz.
He saw lots of others already close to him and so he decided to go to the far west in hope to find some land to settle.

When he reached the west around Yalen with a small group of companions he talked to the local crowed those called Risen. There the whelp had to learn that all was already splitted between an alliance and he was told to leave.

In a sad mood he went to the center of Caladria where he then contacted the proud warrior folks called "The Mercenaries", he struck his first deal, the word was given and a goal from now on to be seeked. Support those who are willing to support him till the claims would be realised.

What a glorious day when we took Ayyike and had a home, but our friends were attacked and we come to their aid, in the process we lost our home but didn't brake our word. Mistakes were made, battles lost and won, in the end we were exausted by a 20 days war with lots of fierce battles. Enemies of our contract partner were pushed back on and on and new once seem to came all along and over again. At last it seemed we got the upper hand, but then Chaos intervened, 8.5k troops after all that war, we could have taken them but it was decided to go with peace. 3 days talking, compromises on both sites and peace in the end. Through these talks we came to our claims Ayyike, Tebandra and Ulburban and the former enemies left to strike war in another place in the north.

Still it wasn't peaceful, more misunderstandings, Raven tried to attack, but diplomacy brought a solution.
Afterwards the a good bunch of friends joined us as vassals, Bandits/Wargs, however you would call them we call them friends.

Our vassals then were restless and seeked war on themselves, something which was told before they were accepted not to do.
We helped them in a defence against Grey Order which were disturbed by my vassals public appearance. To not loose my face and get something out of a bad situation we made a deal with the Grey Order about Dramug Castle which they helped to conquer and then handed it over to the Wolves Pack Mercenaries.

Through gold shortages we disbanded some of our troops to protect Reyvadin ;) and shortly afterwards the night fall over Caladria.

This is what happened last time, we had no problems with Shogunate setting up next door to us until they started plotting to take us out. To us it seemed as though you guys just hate us for enjoying the game. You guys didn't wipe us from Strategus 1 either, you knocked us around a bit because we only had 3 villages and were in the middle of sieging a castle when your 10 villages decided to attack. But in the end we occupied half the desert.

But at this point we probably won't trust you guys as long as Ujin is in a position of power.  But it is just as important that we are on opposite sides of the map. :D

We sort of like this rivalry now and you shouldn't take insults or whatever on the forums personally or seriously.

We asked WARPIGS to fight with us on Strategus and gladly they did.We had 40 BashiBazouks and more than 10 WARPIGS on our Strategus faction on later period of Strategus.Our recruitment was closed when we left Kapikulu and formed this clan .When strategus released, we understood that we need more numbers , we opened recruitment and in a little time we recruited a lot .We started strategus as a small and weak faction , we finished as a strong one.worked hard on both diplomacy and battle tactics.We started as a 3 way alliance some called it YMCA(Young Men's Calradian Alliance) some called it Trident Alliance or United Jihad . Our friendship with Legio and Risen based on early period of our clan . During that time we were managing friendly clan battles to see how other clans play . It was good training for us and our competitor also by that we strated to getting know of each other...
We wanted to play with Legio and Risen on new Strategus and we told it to them, gladly they accepted and we announced our alliance.I think they didn't expect that we could do so much on Strategus because when we announced our alliance we had only 15 members who don't know anything about Strategus.That turned out to be wrong in future with our massive recruitment campaign we became a powerful ally.On our first attack to Shogunates and Pillagers we were late at sending our army to border.Legio and Risen attacked Shogunates but our army just arrived to border and when we did,we decided to lock down Hardsteppa's army of 2k before they reinforce the village that Risen attack.Weird but the only playable battle was ours against Hardsteppa which was 650 vs 2.000.Legios had spawn bug issue and they lost all their equipment to Pillagers due to that.Battle lasted for few minutes only,they capped attackers spawn.Risen were hacked and their roster erased, they lost all their equipment also then we decided not to attack with our main army before those bugs cleared out.We started to play defensive and protect our border . When chadz released fix to spawn bugs we started our new campaign and things went better.This time we attacked with 11k troops at the right time and killed 6.5k on Ruldi.With remaining troops and reinforce of Risen,Legio and LLJK we attacked Chelez with 10k defenders were around 6k again.We took it also.Risen took Buvran on a thriller battle which was like 16-0 ticket at the last.Legios had trouble on Pillagers lands,they fought hard but spawns and hills on Pillager lands had huge handicaps for attackers.They killed many defenders on Emer .They attacked emer twice, both of them were bloody battles.After Legios attacks,Union came and started to finish off those scattered villages.LLJK attacked Ibdeles and they took it without too many resistance.That's how we wiped out Shogunate-Pillagers+ Small clans coalition.We expected Caravan Guards to help Shogunates since they are allied but they just sent 2.5k troops and they got killed easily by Union's army on the road.After we claim Rhodok Highlands,we played a little defensive,our clans settled down their new fiefs and we started to take defensive positions to our borders to east.We took Almerra castle but again there wasn't any aggressive movements from Guards.
Then items + golds wiped out we started to replenish our economy and then full wipe came.
That's history of BashiBazouks on Strategus v2.0 period.


There were some important issues on Strat 2 for us:

Kapikulu , our ex-clan got wiped 2 times .(First by Crusaders of Acre , second one by us. They were supporting Shogunates with 3.5k troops.  We asked them to stop it and leave those lands without harm, they refused and died by our mujahideen's sword.
They threatened Bandits by "Attacking a fallen friendly clan is not wise" sentence , we supported Bandits with roster support against Turks attacks on early period of strategus then Turks declared war on us. Also when they wiped out from their first claims, fallens took one of their claims , Bardaq Castle. Which was a good source to laugh about their friendship.

Abay our ex-leader on Kapikulu , came back from death ! (His funeral ceremony : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U02Y2B6MUjo&feature=related)
He posted a letter and he said "This is my suicide letter, i resign from Kapikulu and i erased this game, i won't ever play it again" after we left and yet some remaining kapikulus wanted some changes on Abay's reign.Then few weeks later he showed up again and said "This is son of Abay , Barbaros and i'll contiune my father's teachings on a new clan Called Abays."He formed an alliance called Royal Union . It had Abays,Inglorious Bastards and English Kingdom.It also allied with The Turks . That failed also.They declared war on Merceneries when Mercs were under heavy attack from multiple clans.They probably hoped to take some fiefs from mercs but that idea went badly and  prepared the end of Royal Union.
Then Abay posted a thread on turkish forum which is "Abays are now Fallen's vassal ! Any attacks against Abays means attacks against Fallen !" which was another fail idea since Great Khans, fallen's real vassal attacked and wiped Abays off the map lol.

They supported FCC against Merceneries

That's not really accurate. They were in the Dhirim/Reyvadin area and were looking out for their own interests and trying to side with whoever they thought was winning. That explains why they attacked Ayyike right after TKoV took it in a really hard fight against Wolves (abays lost that fight really badly as it was the first fight with the new spawn system.. and it was extra bugged in that anyone with a negative KDR could not spawn.. so took their spawn easy).
Later when HRE sent an army against the Mercs, the abays decided to attempt to take a village from Mercs as they thought things had turned against the mercs.

Well "Enemy of my enemy is my friend." They fought against Mercs which means they supported enemies of Mercs, and their main enemy was FCC by that time amirite ?

well, the quote is true.. but i dont know if it applies to abays or not, i dont think they cared which side won, they just hoped to get something out of helping whoever looked to be winning... i dont think they saw either side as an enemy or a friend.

Alrighty then, well feel free to pop into the teamspeak if you like.

Perhaps the EU/NA split will spread us far apart and we may not have to deal with eachother unless somebody border crosses, for the best probably.

yeah we never had any deals with abay. he tried to make a deal with us early on and offered a bunch of gold, but due to some interesting circumstances... that fell through, then he attacked TKoV after they got Ayyike, then he offered us peace later and we were like "sure." so then he was going to attack mercs, things went badly for em, and i dont really know what all happened to them after. So, like I said... he was never really on anyone's side, he was just hoping to secure some land from the conflict.

That's funny. I didn't know there was an UIF 2.0. Neither does any of our leaders/diplomats. Also who the fuck is T_ and when did Chaos join? Why is RuConquista there when they were attacked and driven away by Grey? It seems like you just said "everyone I don't like and that is european is now in the UIF that I just made up!" But of course you didn't do that :D Must be me who knows nothing.

Also, if anyone sees Partyboy - tell him I need his story of BIRD clan to put on top.  Also, there is at leasta  dozen more clans with stories, keep them coming, we only have a day or so before new strategus is up (then again chadz time = 2 months).

I like the looks of the amount of NA fiefs achieved compared to EU fiefs and several NA people whining about the amount of fiefs they getting.

However the UIF 2.0 is kinda funny as well, loki just mad.
