Title: Hell yeah, attacked again
Post by: Moncho on September 26, 2012, 06:06:42 pm
It seems like so many people have something against peaceful traders :(
After defeating Donskoi's raiders, I got some more gear, traded a bit, and then got attacked by the Coalition (did not know I needed permission to cross their lands). Now, just a day after that, I get attacked by _Soldier, some sort of looter.
5am battle UK time, so I do not expect much people to actually turn up, but it would be nice to get some mercs against factionless looters...
174 vs 100 troops, I got decent equipment, please come to my rescue once again. Best swords will get some gold (depending on how much I get) if I manage to get to my destination.

The purple territory should really be avoided, those bandits attack every poor trader. "The Union" = "The Bandits"  :evil:

Well I am close to that territory, but not in it... I am near Knudarr Castle, and the guy who attacked me is not a part of the faction at the moment (maybe decided to go on his own on strat or just coverage for these banditry acts)

Try to pm him, maybe he is newbie and attacked you "just for fun" to do something on strat.:P Does he have any equipment?

He's not new for sure, I have seen him on previous rounds. And it was just an attack on a caravan. Simple as that. We are both "lightly armed"

Ah ok then, its seems like he launched hostile action against you, without any reason, just to rob your caravan, so i wish you good luck in that battle! I was atacked before too by Bashi madafakas, was killed and lost all my goods! :(
If you like i could apply for you on that battle, but i am not very high level character and never parcipate strategus battles not sure if i could be usefull! :rolleyes:

Prepare to be attacked if you trade on UIF territory. All your goods & equip are belong to us as soon as you cross the border.
& we are not bandits. We just kicking smuggler's asses :)

Thanks for the battle, it was fun. Hope you attack me again if it is always going to be like this.
@Segd: Well if an area surrounded by the Nords, Kapikulu, Mercs and Union (ok this one is UIF) is considered to be UIF, I am sorry, I will ask for your permission to be in the map in the future...

You are worse than bandits, you are stealing from the poor just to eat from golden dishes. Power to the people! Down with the oppressors!  :twisted:

Sad but true. Every area where we have armed troops is unsafe.

Not stealing. Just taking what we want by force  :rolleyes:

Especially on EU side, you need to either be (1) in a clan or (2) very, very well known to not be attacked on sight. Even then, those two will also caused you be attacked by a whole different set of people- but at least those people have reasons and you'll expect it.

Check out the clanthreads. There are a plethora of options.

Yeah this game totaly not friendly for neutrals and small factions. Even if you managed to build big well equiped army you will be defeated in first battle against more or less big clan\member of carebear alliance. Roster system doing sensless to build army for such kind of players. So easy way to is to join one of those carebear alliance and to be "ant" in anthill(go there - take that - bring here - repeat) ruled by few guys.  Then you will get full roster of robocop 34 lvl players! :)

I was in a clan, but left because I started playing less cRPG (have not played at all in the last two weeks, except for the previous strat battle), and I just keep an eye on strat until I run out of money, which will be soon.
Anyway, feel free to merc for me, the attacker is a clanless bandit anyway

It works the same in single player.  If you try to sprout up your own faction and all you have is one castle or city and a few hundred troops, every major faction will be sending massive armies your way.

But if you go around the map doing nothing and leaving everyone alone, they should not attack you! (unless you have done so first, ofc)

Did the bandits, looters, or raiders leave you alone in single player?

When i had a big army yes.

Nah. Nothing similar with sp. No matter how big is your army, no matter how well its equiped, you will lose only because enemy will have full roster of nerd players. I talking about clanless player or small faction. In single player you grow you army, equip it, train troops, upgrade them, their lvl  rises with experience.
 I would suggest to add such feature in strategus to train your troops and lvl up them. First you get 100 troops with low stats  and in time they become more skilled. And those players who applied for you should play not their main charachters but for thos "bots" u hAve in your army. So then army managment will have some sense.

That would be counter productive, and would not achieve much. Instead of the training, which would not allow each person to play with his build, we have the equipment bought by the army creator. That is how you determine it. The amount of weapons/armor/other and their quality is it.
Also even with your suggestions, with a more skilled team you would most likely still win.

I know i know my suggestion is shit... But current situation is more shitty! Weak army of peasants(34 lvl my old friends\nerds\nolifers) filled their roster and won the battle of random dude who spent time for equipment and managment for his army but was not able to find enough good players to fill roster! All strategus is fight for rosters. Thats why ppl dont wanna play strategus. I brought in strat many dudes and all of them see the same shit! Carebear alliances, rosters wars and other shit! :)
P.S. Just curious: Is in NA strat same situation? I mean carebear alliances, tirany, slavery, humilation of neutrals, small factions and helpless traders, newbies, turning people into "bots", "ants", and other shit we have in EU? :evil:

It's a shame for me that my countrymen behavior like brutal evil empire with closed borders and closed minds! We are neighborhood but not allowed even to trade with them, as if its cold war! Not even mention bazookas, those are agressive, mean kids! :)
