That was some serious bullshit. I had 2 guys, standing between you and him, and still he somehow magically evades our fucking attacks. Two guys. Like, how in the fuck do you guys get so lucky?


Not to mention 7 minutes from not being able to receive reinforcements. FML.

Absolutely ridiculous. That's all I have to say. Not sure how an unarmed 370 man army can outrun 2 200 men armies with horses.


Seriously fucked up v.v

That's racist.  Use "nigerian" instead, that's perfectly acceptable.

I could always use magic originating from the people of Niger.

I wonder how that magic would be called...

I can't stop laughing about how you lose with Heavy Yawshans vs people in peasant gear too. Makes you think~

Was a pretty good fight, would have been a different story entirely without those reinforcements, but those made it interesting. Thanks to all who helped. It wasn't clean, and it wasn't pretty, but I'll cherish one of few W's I can mark up on my wall this strat.

It was a close battle, and a lot of fun. You guys pulled off an excellent final charge.

not bringing throwing, thats how!
Cost of 1 yawshan's buys you 12 stacks of darts x6 darts = 72 darts.  30 stacks of darts between 5 or so throwers could have easily gotten that 30 ticket difference.  Dont see why people are so fucking ignorant about not including throwing of some form into their army loadouts.

Also mid-level throwing is FAR better anti-cav than polearms. 1 Heavy axe from a pT5 thrower can 1 shot these shitty rouncies.  Let friendly archers use their range to pick off infantry while throwers kill any cav dumb enough to get near formations

I would have taken their longspears, longswords, arbalests, etc. with heraldic mail over yawshawns with peasant weapons.  That is how you lose, couldnt be helped all those wepaons weref rom the reinforcement who only had 3K gold.

I'd like to point out that Arbalests should be singular in this instance, as they only had one (reserved for Desire ofc).

Yeah, my fault on that. I had to do a 60 second drill to grab everything I could reasonably get in Curaw and still leave plenty there in order to go out and catch him.

Going to have to agree with this. Best way to counter mass pikes is throwing. Unfortunately this was not an army situation.. it was a trader caught doing somethign silly (walking next to an enemy city that needs goods dearly)

Oh well.. I have +2 heavy throwing axes on my army!

I agree about the throwing thing. In Frank le Tank's battle against KUTT last strat he specifically requested throwers, and they did a pretty good job imo.

The hundreds of champanion mamluk horses probably helped too, but still.

Though, anyone with enough strength can pick up a pike or long spear. Not so true with throwers. And it would seem that 2h heroes are more likely to hybrid with xbow than throwing (their mistake, imo).

Not my best performance at all. We had less than 100 shields, which only had about 80 health. I think the only kills I got were with a looted War Cleaver that I have 0 WPF in.

There were so many pikes. My Bane. The horror...

I am pretty sure FCC lost this one because they didn't have enough leather gloves.

I guess the attack proximity still hasn't been fixed.

We had this problem too, supposedly the trick is to spam attack button.

Wow eight guys were able to beat one. Go on, please tell me more.

Let me guess Jony was in full plate/close to it and is an archer?

Looking at the date of the battle, it seems like they were all banned.

So ? its still a fail, it could be so hard to get 30 people to the battle, there are still Nords and Bashis and lots of other allied with them. And I dont think all guys with rank 5 or 10 were banned, so they could accept people.
