I don't know if I'm suppose to put this type of post here. I hope the post police don't come into my home and arrest me lol. I'll put a similar post in the Clan Hall forum or whatever it's called. I didn't know whether that's for established clans or not.
I want to start up a 30yrs and older clan. For mature people 30 years and older, not that your character has to be age 30 and older.
I'm doing this cause first I wanted to have my own banner other than the given choice of banners.
The second and real reason is there's lots of young kids, tweens and college kids playing this game and I can tell when they speak in team or in-game chat and they're usually uncooperative in terms of teamplay or are just spamming the chat like crazy with stfu's and other kid lingo and/or are always TKing or ruining the game for everyone else. I'm in my early 30's and I'm past all that immature bullshit and I know players my age and older are too, it's a given.
I know that there are mature players out there that are under 30 and they are MORE than WELCOMED to join. I watch people play online through spectator or when I get killed so I can watch to see how they are with other players and decide if they can join or not. It's very simple, if you play seriously and don't act like a little prick and mouth off and TK cause you think it's fun you can pretty much join the clan.
And, it will be our clan, not MY clan. It hasn't been established yet and I will take suggestions for clan and banner name and other things.
The only thing I want is this:
That it be a mature clan.
That the banner and name complement each other.
That the banner and name be derived from medieval resource or that it is medieval in sense(don't want it to be Penis_Clan or something stupid) lol.
That we play seriously and use medieval tactics and formations.
That we wear identical clothing when using our CLAN character(I have 5 characters and I'm sure you can make one just for our clan)Clothes to be determined.
That there be a heirchy/heiarchy? lol, when Clan is in-game so as to follow orders and such. There will be ranks and whoever outranks will lead that night.
That we be respectful and keep your hands and objects to yourselves.
That we show everyone else playing that we can form up IN FORMATION and such, shield up, fight like a unit and kick ass(or fight loosely, whatever tactic is needed).
AAANNNNNNNDD.....
That when OUR clan is on a team, that team always wins and people will know WHY they won(if there's one member and we lose that's ok lol).
Now I'm an artist and I have computer art experience and I can make a kick ass banner, that will definitely look right when wearing heraldic armor(most banners have the design squeezed at the waist and it looks funny). But, I will take ideas and see ideas. Remember let's make it authentic medieval. Nothing too easily recognizable like Templars or Knights! lol.
If interested send me a message to my inbox. I check forums and inbox every couple of days, but I play everyday pretty much so you can talk to me in-game when I use my other characters:
Volos, Volossa, Brun, Ashalem, Vorexukouren(think that's how it's spelled)
If you send me an spam or offensive email I'll just delete it and report you for harrassment so don't even bother.

Good luck.

This is funny
why?
-
Good luck with it!
Clearly this is serious, it doesn't take a genius to realise that.
-
Agist!
However, I understand the sentiment. I find it interesting that most clans tend to be led by college kids, who usually manage to keep the peace between the under-20 and the married-with-kids contingent. Besides, that age group tends to have the most time...hrm, right. Not a clan we can expect to see in Strategus, eh?
-
Actually I haven't played a strategus battle, but have wanted to. I got on one once and saw there were hundreds of either AI or people fighting and I waited for like 15 min to get on a teamand never got on, then I typed in the EVERYONE chat "how do i choose a team?" and some idiot said STFU! so I left. Then I heard you have to sign up for strategus, so I'm like, Why do I need to sign up?
I usually get on NA1 or EU1 and fight in Battle. I like BIG battles. I've been playing a few months or so.
I'd do strategus, just have to find out about it more. I know there's stuff to build and that sounds great. I'm all about strategy and tactics, and if that's how strategus is our clan would definitely do that. The strategus sounds great, it's the getting on that's retarted.
Your replies sounds like you're interested in joining Reyiz, Balrog and Kalam. Wanna join? lol I needz people!
I know Tears of Destiny is in Fallen but he could join too via another character he makes, wink wink.
Now concerning time, I'm a stay at home dad, so I have alllllll the time in the world lol.

Tbh until I find out for certain what chadz is doing with these recent cav nerfs I'm not sure I'll be playing any of my alts anymore. Sorry bud but seeing as I hate playing ranged, my main 2h is probably going to be my only char from now on.

You should hang on a while longer, they just put in version 1.240 yesterday and I tried it last night. It seemed ok. I didn't see any major combat changes.
Some things were changed but I feel that the developers are trying to make it more realistic and less gamey. I think they're trying to eliminate any hacks
or people trying to get easy kills with cavalry and other things. Think they're trying to make it less like other shooter games where kills are too easy and it's
nothing but spawning and killing and getting killed and over and over.
Kind of like Black Ops where you spwn, kill, get killed, spwn, EXPLOSION!, spwn, get killed, kill, spwn, and on and on, lol.
It's very team based and more so but lots of people don't see that it is. Think they're trying to tell everyone that we'll have to work together more in-game. I've worked in games before and I immedietly saw the potential of this game and the mod, that's why I play it. In terms of a team-based medieval combat game that is.
Most of my characters have horses and I noticed the difficulty got raised but that's ok, I'll try it out and see how it is. My horse got jacked on one of my characters and I'll have to wait a level to up the Riding again, but that's fine.
The only thing that I couldn't do was block with my long spear which is fine, I wouldn't expect anyone in real life try to make a block with a long spear or pike for that matter. I'm sure the pike block got eliminated also but that's fine too(I have at least one anti-horse weapon on all characters). It's how combat was back then anyhow. It's hard enough to try to make a block in real life with a simple six-foot staff let alone a eight to 10 or more foot pike or spear.
They'll probably get lots of complaints(I've seen some on forums already directed at chadz lol) and work out the kinks and all the other stuff that got changed. It's a process it'll get ironed out. I think the developers have actually been reading the suggestion forum and have now suddenly started to implement suggested changes.
Hang on a little more Balrog the game will get better. I'm still waiting for my suggestions of actual flags to carry during battle, lol.
-
Just want to let people know who are reading this that I'm gonna post some potential name and related theme for the clan on here with pics and stuff.
I have some floating about my head already and will post em soon, probably tommorrow or later today.
If you have any suggestions just post em up on here too. Remember nothing silly, has to be medieval. Unless it's very funny and which we WON'T use for the clan and you CAN
post it just to make everyone laugh though.
Oh geeez, hear we go.......
-
Alright this is one idea I've had bouncing around in my head since I first did this post. It's kind of funny cause it's a joke actually.
I have on my profile that I'm from the Clan MacLeod(like highlander movie) but I say I'm kidding cause it meant to be a joke, I'm not in a clan and don't like the whole clan thing, but I'm making one now, go figure.
I started thinking about it and I thought it might be a great idea for a clan theme. It still sticks with the medieval era since it borders the middle ages at about 1500s
which was about the end of that era, after that in the 1600s and up you had heavy use of guns and all that stuff.
Anyway, here are some pics about how the your clan character would look like, or some deviation like it. There's plenty of beards and hairstyles to have variety in terms of faces and everyone would have to have a "Scottish" sounding name, or Gaelic I presume since that's their native tounge apart from English. Names like Amhalghaidh, Donnchadh, Taraghlan and other unpronouncable names like those, lol.
There's lots of weaponry available that's very "Braveheart" and Highlander type and there's some clothing that can match these pics too. Remember, it's not the clothes or armor that really counts in-game it's the weaponary and skill used that gets kills.
I know we don't have kilts, so something like the Bjyrna, Light or Heavy Kuyak or even the new Kazakh Outfit(which looks like the Kuyak, lol) or the Rawhide would be fine. I'd go more with the Light Kuyak since it has a type of fur cape.

Hey, how about that, I got this image from a Warband forum site lol.

This is one of the character's face in the Highlander movie.

Now the Braveheart movie was a bit off in terms of historical accuracy, so I'd go more with the Highlander movie look.
REMEMBER, THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION OF THE CLAN.
I plan to post a few more TOTALLY different clan themes I have in mind so look for them soon and I will take suggestions too so just post em.
-
I suggest you put those pics in a tag.
As for the update, I won't bother posting my complaints here in case your clan takes off. Don't want to spam it with useless info.
Tuatha(my clan) is a Celt based clan so if you need any help just let me know, we're always glad to help like-minded individuals.
Once again, good luck with it. The more Gaelic clans we get going in here, the more likely it is that chadz will eventually add some real celtic armours like the ones you've posted in those pics.
-
Alright here's a medieval Swiss Mercenary Company idea for the clan, see if you like it. The Swiss were also on the edge of the medieval era around 1400s to 1500s till the use of
guns changed everything for everyone. They usually wore a combination or mix of plated armor and vibrant colored clothing. They were known for pike formations and used long-ass swords like flamberges and used a variety of pole-axes and halberds. They also had side sword pretty much never used shields(gun ball made them obsolete by then). We pretty much have everything on cRPG in terms of clothing, armor and weaponary.
Here's some pics so you can get an idea of how they looked like. These pics vary in region and timespan of a few hundred years. But pretty much they were armies of the people(militia) and not paid professional soldiers and some wore full armor and fought on foot and some have little armor. Later on they were so revered and did hire out as mercenaries though.

Well I for one think you're being a bit too generalizing, but I'm sure majority of younger people are just like you described. The trick is to filter them out, and a more radical way of filtering them out is I guess setting the age limit to 30.
In any case, good luck.
-
Next up I'll post a samurai based clan.
Keep in mind, whatever theme I post the clan will fight like that theme. For example: if it's a highlander clan it'll be somewhat loosely formed combat units and the highlanders will charge mostly but stay together and go wild on the enemy.
If it's Swiss Mercenary it'll be a mix of pike, halberd and long weapon formation and very rigid and non-penetrable, very phalanx type.
If it's samuria based then it'll be on horse fast and quick with lances and yumi bow and if on foot it'll be tight but flexible unit formations also with a mix of either samurai weapons and long spears(no throwing stars, that's ninja).
-
People under 30 can join and are welcomed. I just stated that I want 30 and up AS a FILTER, lol. The immature under 30 will AUTOMATICALLY get turned away
and only the intelligent and mature under 30 will want to join, lol.
The old farts over 30 I won't worry about cause they know they're old farts and don't bother with making trouble, they just want to have a serious good time. It's like those older men playing D&D and RPG combat games on those big minature boards they play on with little miniature figurines. Yeah, they look dumb but they want to play a good strategic type of combat game without the young hassle. You see those old guys mostly in those D&D places, lol. I'm not talking about the D&D people that think they're elves and wizards and shit, I'm talking about the older men that like war games.
Yeah, what you said lol. I think I restated what you said Bjord.
If I say FORMING CLAN! Then I'll get 12 year olds and tweens and twentieeens with severe personality issues want to join then I'll have a mess. If I put up the filter
they'll just be like "Ah, that's stupid" and skip over my post like they skip over most things, and I won't have to deal with them, lol.
See I'm getting smart feedback already from people like you who kinda figured it out.

I see "mature", but I also see "RICK JAMES BITCH" under your avatar.

Lol, I'm very serious oolihacl,oooholichall......
I love the Joker, best Joker ever.
I love Dave Chappelle though. I'm serious when I play but I have a nutty humorous side too.
Just because I'm starting a mature clan doesn't mean it's gonna be full of people with colostomy bags, lol.

Perhaps you should talk to the Cult of Mithras leader, you two have similar objectives it seems, why not merge to increase starting membership?

Alright here's the samurai theme that this clan may be, all depends on how everyone would vote. Although I did have an idea about forming 3 clans with these same 3 themes and all members of one would automatically be recruited in other two. One weekend we'd do Highlander night, one Samurai, one Swiss Company and so on. I like all 3 themes.
Remember whatever clan or clans we form, on that night all clan members would be in theme, no exceptions not European armor if samurai, but if you need money and can't afford you can still be in poorer gear but still have a Japanese looking face. And whatever characters they'd have for said clan they'd have a theme name too. If for this clan it would be a Japanese name(something tough and samurai sounding).

Wish they would get the flags going so we could either carry flags as polearms or wear armor samurai flags into battle. All you have to do is take the samurai armor and attach a small flag in Maya or 3d Studio Max or whatever 3d program you use before you bring it into the game engine. Attach a low poly flag to the samurai mesh and bring it in as one piece of armor and sell it as armor. Can be attached to the back so it doesn't interfere with shoulders or other movement.

See the thing about all other clans are that they're just clan in name but are just a bunch of people running around with stupid names, wearing strange shit and acting immature most of the time but think they're better than everyone else just because they're in a clan. But really they don't accomplish shit in-game. It's like a tramp stamp, hey look I got a tramp stamp.
This clan will be a real clan, and not like all the other immiation clans or wannabe clans that ARE clans. Time for a real good clan with mature people and a good theme(or themes, hey i have 5 characters and can switch all to a certain theme if need be).
Alright guys let's see what themes you can come up with. Look up shit on wiki go crazy find something historically interesting.
-
Balrog, who's the Cult of Mithras leader?
What's his name? That way I can find him on member look up.
That actually sounds like a good idea teaming up with him and making a brand spanking new clan.
Like-minded people. We're not assholes, we're just like-minded people that want REAL clan people
and not the immitation shit that struts around with a clan tag.

I think the best theme, would be multiple themes. Say for example, one minute you could all be wearing Swiss gear in a massive spear wall, the next minute you could decide you should all take shields and viking gear and make a shield wall or something.

I think that's a great idea ToxicKilla. About switching gear, weapons and tactics during rounds. All the clan leader(or whoever is highest rank in clan) would say is "switch to Blah blah blah theme, and then the rest of the clan members would switch to said theme thus utilizing different tactics. I mean we have the gear for it. Not only can they do that between rounds but during the round: a pikeman can switch to an archer and back. [someone idiot is going to say, "uh you can't do that", and I'll have an anwser for them]
I have 5 characters and most of them have 2 or 3 different types and gear for it. Some can be cavalry, some can be ranged and some I can switch from one type to another depending on the map and the need of the team. So a mutil-themed clan is possible.
Cause what I see out there, in terms of clans, is pretty much nothing. WASTED PLAYERS AND WASTED EFFORT. I see a lot of clan tags but no tactics and rarely any theme whatsoever.
The only clans I've seen that remotely have an organized theme or battle tactic are LLJK and Fallen:
Fallen has this Mongol/Barbarian look and they mostly comprise of horn or nomad bowmen and just hang back and shoot, but do stick together(there are 1 or 2 swordsmen in there and ALL wear some sort of FUR on their armor/clothing).
LLJK I've seen make a formation of 5 or 6 bowmen wearing yellow sarranid gear with straw hats and would orders from a Black Knight, and they were pretty useful when they fought like that.
Other than those 2 clans amongst the thousands that we see out there, all players wearing clan tags are useless in battle.
:arrow:
See that's why I don't want to be in ANY clan because the dumbasses who make them usually just want ONE theme and are inflexible about it and definitely don't know shit about battlefield tactics(which do work in this game if done right). They just run around sporting clan tags like they're cooooooooooool and liquidate the clan/player recruiting pool.
This is why I want to have a flexible clan that can adopt many themes, but maybe keep to 3 or 4 themes that have a balanced mix of ranged, cavalry and infantry type classes.
I want this clan to have a general(something pertaining to combat) name and not some of the other stupid clan names that I see out there that don't mean shit or just sound cool and when read doesn't much say anything ABOUT the clan.
Oh, and we'll have a kickass banner. I used to work in games, know a lot about medieval and military history and I can come up with(or we can come up with) an awesome banner everyone else will want to copy. hmmmmmm, maybe I'll make some sample and post em, visuals usually attract people more, lol.
If you guys are reading this and are sick of your clan or your clan doesn't do crap or you have a buddy who's in a clan that wants out and wants to join a REAL one that will be a formidable clan or if there are any non-clan people who want to join a democratic type of clan that:
has ranks earned the old way(by time, merit and battlefield bravery)
a good theme(s)
no bullshit
no immature players(they'll be executed)
will teach and practice battlefield tactics
good times and good comradeship
then message me and just say, "I wanna join".
You don't have to suck dick like you do with other clans or bring your kneepads or, no fees or any other bullshit like that, or beg or ask, "are you guys recruiting can I please join"
or any number of silly things I hear clan members say to other non-clan members out there about joining.
And, don't worry I'll weed out the assholes as we go along.

We once had around 5-6 of us in ENG making pike walls across bridges and various other choke-points which was quite effective, we were all dressed the same too, Red Gambeson and Morion. Tactics are easy to do, it's just getting the members which is the hardest part.

Yeah, finding the members with the dedication to stay and play regularly is going to be very difficult, probably the most difficult part. If you find even 2 or 3 guys who listen up and get along, you'll have a solid grounding, and could look appealing.

You seem to have pretty serious ADHD.

Especially for someone who is allegedly 30+.

Perhaps you should talk to the Cult of Mithras leader, you two have similar objectives it seems, why not merge to increase starting membership?
The Cult of Mithras aint a normal clan, but a interclan training cult to on wednesday to try out new tactics and to have some good battles later on regular servers.
So the members come from different clans and don't belong to the cult directly, but everyone is welcome to join the training if they can fullfill the requirements.
