Fight for us against the NA version of UIF (FCC).
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=battlesupcoming#!?page=battleroster&id=1687
raid:
FFC :1274 vs Hospitaller: 500
We cannot let them capture our women!
(help an EU-buddy out here)
those that do well will be rewarded!
-
hosp is larger than fcc.. not sure how we count as uif. We are attacking on our own.. you have the advantage here
-
Considering the smattering of clans that go hand-in-hand with the FCC, I'd say you are actually rather comparable to the Hospies, irregardless, you are both proper large factions and should pound each other rather senseless in a fair fashion (well, as fair as war will ever be).
-
wat? we're like 20people, how many are you? 60% of our members aren't playing strat x.x
-
FCC has no enemies besides Hospitallers, otherwise they wouldn't have all their troops garrisoned on their western fiefs. It's too bad nobody is interested in picking up some free fiefs since FCC seems to be willing to give them away to whoever wants them (since 90% of their fiefs are completely undefended).
But I guess the NA map is much too large for the amount of people playing right now or it wouldn't resort to a faction on the far east of the map attacking a faction on the far west and nobody trying to jump in to catch the people with their pants around their ankles.
But me being able to see their eastern fiefs are unguarded shouldn't even be possible, that's another problem I have with strategus right now...I can see the troops and population (and gold/s&d) of every fief on the entire EU or NA map...that's ridiculous.
-
no worries we have plenty in reserve. Just not sitting in the fiefs to be counted
-
Watch out for fcc whine threads for every battle. :mrgreen:
-
All hail NA UIF resistance is futile.
-
I think my bullshit meter exploded...
Look at the numbers behind FCC, and the VE, and the informal tag-along that is CHAOS/Hero_Party and friends... How about the huge KUTT/Hospitaller war that was huge on both sides?
All hail the whiny community who clings to popularity contests while hypocritically calling out everyone else as "carebear fronts."
As much as I like most people in FCC/Hospitaller/etc, you all are getting absurdly enthusiastic about obvious paper-thin propaganda about "onoz side X is super huge and thus is unfair we are the underdogs..."

Your facetious meter seems to be busted.

Small wonder considering the multitude of people here who spout inane bullshit and when called out on it backtrack and say "I was joking, relax." Too many of them to distinguish from the genuinely sarcastic people, and sarcasm never translates well in pure text especially with a lack of emoticons (or a proper story behind it as proper writers so often use in literature).
EDIT: Irregardless, my post was focused on the thread as a whole, hence why 1.) I did not quote you and 2.) I specifically named Hospitaller and FCC.

True, but there are plenty of people who haven't been and have been nothing but good sports throughout this round of strategus. I've been saying "it's a game relax" long before we threw ourselves against the walls of that castle of yours. I've been doing the same thing with the occitan as well, although they've been much better sports about it.
All of that time in the court of high king smoothrich is killing your sense of humor, ToD. Don't let it corrupt you.
-
FCC is most likely ahead on troops/gold, but not by a wide enough margin that they will roll through hosp lands. As such it looks like there will be a lot of good battles coming up, and more importantly a whole bunch of xp for everyone.

It died in this community well before that :wink: Blame it on me seeing firsthand what Strategus 2 did to factions, and Strat 3 was the final nail in the coffin. Now with Strat 4 around, I can't even remember what a sense of humor even seems like for this community. Number one way to turn a c-RPG player into a jackass whether to other factions or within his/her own? Make them a Strategus officer, works 95% of the time. Smoothbabe actually resurrects my sense of humor occasionally, thankfully, we've had many a laugh in TS over his antics.

Unfortunately from what I've seen, Occitan seem to be in the minority of how most major strat factions conduct themselves in Strategus, a quick look through the diplomacy forum firmly supports this.

Now that I'm truly looking forward to, the battles themselves.
EDIT: Point stands that I was calling out two specific factions and not every member of the community.

I think the problem is the NA map is about twice as large as it should be. Factions have more territory than they need or could defend if it came to a war (looking at you FCC/Remnant), but there's nobody who wants to try and get on the map or expand their territory.
If someone went to war over territory when they saw an opportunity, they know they would likely incur the wrath of most of NA.
It really does seem like it's always been 2 sides on NA, those with us and those against us (and I'm sure FCC feels the same way). Nobody "with" Hospitaller holds any land, and it wouldnt' make sense for clans like Chaos or FIDLGB (pale horsemen) to try and pick up an FCC fief or two, because they would then have enemies attacking them from all sides.
This is a fighting game after all, and all this land is making it so fighting wars isn't a necessity, it's just something people do for fun. I personally think it would be better if EU and NA were all on the same map like last strat, there is no map divide, and defenders get to play on their server of choice. At least there'd be fighting for territory, and not just 2 sides "A or B" in every conflict.

I would be surprised if FCC had less then 25-30k troops, surely enough to hold off any invading armies.

Sure if those armies come through Reyvadin, Tilbaut Castle, or Knudarr Castle. They have basically no troops garrisoned in any other castles/cities. They have all of their forces on the western front, and have at least 8-10k troops in or near the steppe. They are totally overextended, but they have nothing to worry about because the only people that would do anything about it, are the ones they are bringing the fight to.
Never seen anything like this in strat before (where people leave so many fiefs undefended and there's no competition between factions to poke at them and see if they can expand). There's literally no competition for FCC to worry about, so it would make sense to keep throwing everything at their only potential enemy.
Who's going to take over an undefended FCC castle or city? TKOV? Chaos? Remnant? NH? Hero party? Bird Clan? The small factions in the tundra?

Just as a slight aware here, but HP actually has been helping Hosp(merc wise) against FCC. You know, common enemy and all. Chaos has actually been pretty split on sides.
Also, you are whiney baby man hobo pirate barnie thing. Real men wear RED.

please god no NA/EU combination again.
People just need to start taking some risks to get the action going. Fcc has been attacking since day 1 and has not really stopped. Sure some people hate us for that... but what fun would it be if everyone sat around not venturing out for a fight.

Strategus sucks... If u want good strategy game go play ck2 or Europa universalis or something.

Huseby has a point. NA prolly has 2x as many fiefs as it needs. I don't think there's really any kind of organized/established strat playing clan that actually has a shortage of fiefs (besides the obvious ones that were recently rolled). So nobody really has too much incentive to really gun for someone.
Also another thing that encourages large affiliations (not necessarilly alliances, but close) of clans is that rosters of 45-50 is probably too high for NA for the current amount of strat participation. Most clans only show 10-20 of their own members to these battles, so they need to be friendly with a bunch of others to get reliable merc showings and if you go around attacking a lot of people that is gonna become a serious problem. Maybe battles, even sieges, should be capped lower at maybe 20 people for field battles, maybe 25 for villages, and 30 for city/castle sieges?
