Well, if they decided to attempt to reconquest fiefs that they lost in the first war, they would be violating their peace treaty:

seeing as how they removed their claims from New Zagush, New Tash Kulun and New Malayurg Castle.


However we mustn't forget that this IS just an online game, so it's not like violating a pixelated contract will bring any real repercussions.

We were using Zagush as a watch tower. It was in the hands of Occitan who we are friendly with and they let us hang out, we have armies there, along with the north and south to keep an eye on our borders. Occitan decided to pull out and hand it to us. As this was originally our village before we were invaded, we accepted.

I have a lot of respect for Turbo, and like a lot of the NH guys, but there has always been some animosity towards the loss of Peppo's kittens. And the fact that digglez was so hard to work with for the longest time while we tried to work on a friendly relationship, so who knows. We know FCC and Tkov working together (Trade partners and what not) will most likely mean we will be the next to get rolled as they will never go agains't each other, so us trying to get back the villages NH took from us originally isn't out of the question. Plus the few threats of "give it back or else" has more or less pushed some of our officers to say to heck with it and lets get some battles in before the monster comes for us,  :P

Everyone will know by the next few days what we decide to do. It is still in the talks as I type this.

Also, that agreement was for 2 months, which has long but expired.

Right right right. But the point is, if any faction buys/exchanges a contested faction with a clan that isn't involved(or even really knows) that will cause the new owner/new clan to get involved in a war that they shouldn't. Just speaking from the....four(?) times NA clans have done this. I can name the HP/Hosp war and the HP/Fim War as 2. Sunbros was a third, and I believe there was a 4th, but I'm unsure,....oh Astralis!

I'm not endorsing, nor condoning it. In fact, ever since the war started, I was wondering when the 3 remaining factions would start moving. People seem to think I'm not really up to date on politics, but I saw this war coming LONG LONG ago. A few minor players have changed sides, but for the most part I can see the outcome. It's easy to read the lines. (Just watch the posting and you can see how things go and general Opinion on things).

Of course, I've been playing strat longer than almost all of the NA strat community, but that's just how old I am.

I'm 24 today btw, wish me a happy birthday.  8-)

Happy Birthday Anders.

- Yes it was NH's village
- Occitan attacked and took said village
- Yes it was contested
- We were given ownership with out most of our members knowing what happened
- We then started to think about fighting NH to regain the villages we lost way back when, rather than giving it back and going back to the turtle position with fears of being eventually rolled by the monster and not doing anything in the mean time.

Yes we should give it back as it was NH's village, but now we have an opportunity to get some villages back, much like NH took the opportunity to take our villages when Tkov invaded us, and then left leaving the villages in NH's hands.

And most on the forums see how this is going to play out, every side claims to be the underdog, (Hospitaller included) with the exception of Tkov as the simply state "We da BOSS and take what we want!" which is respectable.

But we all see who signs up for who.  Tho not allied you can see the rosters never change regardless of faction X attacking Faction Y.

Here's my problem with this; You guys are Hospitaller, you're by no means a Weak Clan, but what you did here was very weak. Here is Fimbulvetr, trying to reclaim New Zagush which is a bitch and a half to attack. We expend a lot of resources, time, and effort to get it back, and you guys just waltz in, reinforce it a few times (which we noted and confronted you about) and then took it over when it inevitably was going to be attacking and taken back. Fimbulvetr had no interest in going in to this big Map War, thus why we just sought out to reclaim our fief that was taken and leave it at that--but now you are forcing our hand, as well as yours into this situation.


If your intent is to prepare yourselves for this massive incoming attack you assume to be happening, then why are you pissing on those that are the least of your concerns, and furthermore expending resources when you could be stockpiling them and lubricant for this butt plundering you believe you may find yourselves in?

You are a fair man Aztek, and I know you're commonly outspoken in your clan (though you should be a leader imo), but seriously, this was the most rat-tactic thing I've seen out of you guys in a long while. An act that I think defies your better judgement, and ultimately will ignite more flames than you have the piss to extinguish Hospitaller

Post by: Aztek on February 20, 2013, 03:43:10 am
The problem tanken is we know aside from Occitan/Chev's and a few smaller clans we are never safe, Although not allied with anyone we know they would not attack us out of mutual respect, NH on the other hand forcefully took our lands in the beginning, threatened to attack trade caravans, let FCC walk through there lands to get to us, etc.

Now I do want to point out one of NH members let us know FCC was coming, and I respected that individual for that. But with NH on the other side of the fence and Digglez public hate towards Hospitaller how could we trust them to not take our lands yet again when/if we get attacked by FCC, Tkov or whom ever!? If Zagush stayed in the hands of NH and LCO never invaded we would still be in our land. But once that village was dropped into our hands while LCO backed out, we had 2 options. Give it back to NH and hope they don't do the same thing to us they did at the beginning of strat, or keep it and get some fights in before the big boys come knocking. With our past, option 1 took over.

Call us ass's if you want, If it was my call Hospitaller would be allied with every clan on strat as I'm a free love and be friendly to everyone type of guy, but the reality is we can not trust many out there, and at this point we rather go down guns blazing, then waiting to be gang banged like last time, and before any more jump down our throat, keep in mind chances are you were apart of that gangbang against Hospitaller so your rebuttal is biased and doesn't hold as much sincerity.

Post by: Tanken on February 20, 2013, 03:50:50 am
Understandable, yet, I would love to hear what the strategy was for this. Because right now I'm just foreseeing you guys fucking yourselves over. Instead of expending resources attacking, oh, I don't know, FCC or VE (the ones you fear the most) instead you attack NH and Fimbulvetr. Strategically speaking, if you know you're going to get raped quite hard by potentially two parties, why decide to fight a 3rd party--which is on good terms with both VE and FCC for the most part, instead of aiming your assault at one of the two clans you think may be an issue.


I don't see the intelligence, and I think you guys slipping, could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure I'm right. But what do I know.


And let it be clear, I'm not upset by your decision to attack Fimbulvetr, the way you started it was cowardice, but we welcome the war. I'm just poking at the "tactical plan" in which you guys are deploying, wondering if you actually thoroughly thought it through or not.

That is why. You are friendly with both, FCC is gunning for us, and who knows about Tkov (Hopefully not) so why sit around and do nothing waiting while we all (you included) know it is only a matter of time before either comes for us. NH has a history of jumping on our backs when we are weak, So we just made the first strike. I don't understand how my response was cowardice!? any clan that has gone to war has had an issue that broke the camels back and claimed that as the reason, but it all comes down to either opportunity, or a general lust for war/revenge.

We have been battered for most of strat, we do not have near the resources most of the other clans have. We just decided that we do not want to sit around and wait any longer. We could have gone for FCC, but then we have to walk through the Tamda members which seems like a FCC shield, or we could attack an unreliable faction at our doorstep. We know we will most likely get hammered soon, but wanted to go on the offensive for once while we can (Guns blazing remember). We did not need to worry about pissing off another faction in attacking NH, as those factions will be coming for us soon enough regardless.

We all know we are on the loosing side this strat, we have been since the beginning, there is no strategic plan that could bring us out on top as the community sticks to their complacent stance, so strategically there was no right or wrong move for us, aside from Occitan coming back and allying with HP no clan has made a big move to step out of their comfort zone and I don't see that changing any time soon. Those who are friendly with us will stay friendly I'm sure, and those who have always had a hankering for us will continue to do so, I really don't think any opinions are going to change with this call, if anyone is upset with Hospitaller going to war with NH to take back what was originally ours then I have a hard time believing you didn't hold that grudge before this happened. Now lets get over this and try and enjoy some civil and xp oriented battles shall we!?

The truth is Hosp are just lame opportunist.  They wait for 6 months for some BOLD attack that is just relieving the 7k dead French butt buddies that are waving the white flag to head home.  HOSP, the clan that turtles for 6months against factions half their size and still takes massive losses while on defense.  Anyhow, enjoy your hollow victory under false pretense that you were somehow wronged in the diplomatic process.

My words are my own and I had already decided to leave the game before you finally were able to grow a sac and actually attack something, you boring turtle-jews.  Tragic, I know.

The great war is looking more and more like it will be the first world war, the tundra alliance (and choas even though they have signed up enough people against VE to be a declaration of war) is still to choose a side but it is looking more and more like hospitaller is going to join hero party and Occitan making them the next faction to enter the fray. Suspicions will grow esponage will persist but this is the war to end all wars. Until next strat!

Post by: Turboflex on February 20, 2013, 05:46:48 am
My only complaint is that about a month ago when the desert war heated up, Hospitaller came to us and promised a peaceful border, basically a non-aggression agreement regardless of friends fighting in the desert, to which we agreed. Violating this is what makes Hospitaller oathbreaking thieves. Do not trust them.

During the TKOV/ Hosp war,  Nh declared war by attacking our villages followed by turboflex messaging me with something akin to "by the way hosp,  we are joining the war."  Right now, we are taking our stuff back.  No fancy scroll of war declaration needed.

Also,  turning Zagush into a sell village was an offense that we did not forget.  :evil:

Maybe, but we didn't break any agreements like you did.

We had a mutual defence treaty even initially, which we notified you of its cancellation when you allied KUTT, after which VE approached us about allying together to plan an attack on you.

Yes, yes. Choose your side, world. Something to consider, though, while making your choice: what are the themes these factions have chosen to rally around? What do they say about their personalities?

Essentially summed up from my PoV.

Also, I would think it more akin to WW2 than WW1. They are attempting to rush the smaller of 3 different factions in order to prepare for fighting the two larger ones. (Rush Poland, prepare to fight the allies while Russia looms over their shoulders) Then again, my WW1 is as fuzzy as usual...

Fight well Hospitaller, or you'll lose your eyes.

So if this is WWI what's it going to take for the good ol' USA (AKA Tundra, land of Freedom) to get involved?

The whole of EU is going to wait until one party has a revolution then jump in and crush the guy who thought he was about to win.

Are those 2 Months over? If yes, you would have fallen back to neutrality as i haven't seen any other signed document. When that would be the case then, out of neutrality you always can be attacked or attack.
With a NAP out of my perspective there should be a 3 days grace period when broken, before you go to war afterwards, just to give the other side a chance to prepare a bit so that fiefs aren't undefended and only peasent battles would take place.

So if those 2 Months are over, which i haven'T checked yet, then Hosp wouldn't have done in diplomatic terms "bad" move and it wouldn't be counted against their trustworthyness. On the other hand if that 2 Months haven't been over then i would agree to "not not to be trusted lightly".

k, as that is clear, to the question of fiefs.

A claim is just that, you claim something or anything, there is no implied right for you included.
You can claim the complet map, aslong you don't have the forces to make those claims reallity such a claim would be mute. Claiming only says, i want this and if you want this too, we may get into trouble.

So options

a) retreat from your claims, war may end
b) fight over your and Hosp claims, that would be war then and whoever can force his claims will be the owner of those fiefs.

Reasons for these actions:
now that can be tricky ^^ and i am not that deep in NA relations that i would know for sure, but from what i read here sofar and from what i read out of the map and was told over the game about NH and Hosp.
Hosp are the evil bad behaving arrogant bastards claiming too much being too big with lots of vassals or allies and overall they need to go down ... about right ;) ?
NH would be the proxy planted by TKoV and making most of their trade with TkoV, taking out a trading partner may be an indirect way to hurt someone else on the other end of the trade. Then there are the fiefs which Hospitaller originally owned and were taken from them when they were at war with many others already.

Overall with FCC and NH as opponents for Hosp it may become an intresting war, FCC and NH should be able to easily match Hosp numbers eco as well troops and gear. Only slight disadvantage FCC carries is the distance, but with the level of organization we have seen from them this aint a real issue.  If later on TkoV would have finished of Occitan and would join in there or perhaps would deliver troop/gold/gear support even before, this may bite Hosp in the ars pretty fast.

Good luck for both sides

^^^^

I wouldn't say this move is going to result in biting us in the ass, it would only speed up the process. FCC and Tcov have been partners this entire strat and will not go against each other, And while LCO and us are not allied, we are friendly and know we are the pecking order. When Tkov invaded us NH jumped on our backs and took Tkovs scraps as they had no use for them, even after the nap agreement NH would threaten our trade caravans getting to close to their new land and were constantly hostile towards us. Only during the last few weeks did turboflex from NH become friendly but by that point there was just too much bad blood between us.

With FCC and Tkov being so big and having so many resources we knew it was only a matter of time until they came at us again, and figured NH would do the same thing and jump on us while they had the chance, and rather than forming the turtle roll which we were forced to do, being battered by all of NA for the first 3/4 of strat, we decided to try and go on the offensive while we have the chance. And give our members some retribution for the way they were treated at the beginning. We are not naive to think we are going to takeover NA, and we never had any interest to go out side of the steppe, we know the end will come for us but were going down swinging and on our terms. Rather than hiding inside our beach home waiting for the tittle wave to demolish it, were charging the beach running towards it and rather go out that way.

The brave NH men attacked a huge faction named Hospitaller all alone while they were the obvious underdog as they had no friends or allies to help, While the evil Hospitaller had the entire world on their side. Even with the odds stacked against them the Norse horde men defeated the weak and skill-less Hospitallers! Only after the brave men of NH marched armies away from their lands did the sneaky dogs from Hospitaller jump on them with out provocation!

Figured I would give you a story would like better?

Lets leave it up to the community to pick which is more in line with the truth.

Heres what actually happened. We attack you in the first war due to diplomatic insults sent our way. We cancelled all agreements as a result. NH then launched attacks at our three closest targets, Hospitaller only sent a single (1) army to oppose us. TKoV sent about twice as many troops as us into the region to help us. Weeks passed in which nobody on either side did anything. The war ended with a agreement, in which Hospitaller gave up all rights to Malayurg, Tash Kulun and Zagush.

After the war was over, random Hospitaller members decided it was okay to just waltz over our new border for trade. This was diplomatically solved. NH at no point sent a single guy over the border into your territory, or even approached it. Meanwhile Hospitaller sent several through our lands, and even positioned scouts directly on their side of the border to watch us.

What really makes the NH-Hospitaller conflict sad, is that we were allies last strat and had mutual defense agreements in place shortly after the start of this strat. Due to the actions of Hospitaller leadership relations fell and war resulted. This new war is a entirely different situation and has everything to do with "global strat politics", not just some random grudge match.

Edit: Nice spoiler Aztek, real classy. We did not plan on gloating, win or lose. Send Huesby in here, atleast he I can talk to like a adult.

Pacts, Agreements, Contracts, etc; only have credibility when their is an ability to enforce the agreement or penalize the people that break the agreement. The threat of VE is obviously what pushed them into whatever agreement they made, and now with VE's inability to enforce the agreement(busy in another war) they are longer bound by it.

What pact did we break? that NAP ended months ago and as such we were simply neutral. There were no promises of being loving neighbours with smiles and candy. I went to Turboflex and stated that even tho they were at war with LCO and HP we were staying neutral, which we did. We did not send them troops/gear/gold or anything, much as how they (LCO) stayed out of the short lived Hosp Vs Remnant war. Those are the facts, why you keep saying there was some secret thing between is absurd. I wanted to be friendly with NH, and told you that Turbo, and although I have some weight in what happens it comes down to Peppo/Dev to make the call, which they did. Anyone on here that knows Digglez knows that he is set in his ways, and is very blunt and harsh and as such is hard to get along with.

I don't need to spin anything. I can tell our side of the story and you can tell yours. Its not my responsibility to convince anyone otherwise. The facts are NH attacked us first, regardless of the reason.. we are now attacking NH. All the crap aside those are the basic facts. This is strat, Its war, trade and diplomacy. We never had any pact that is still standing with NH or anyone else for that matter. Hospitaller are not allied with anyone but we do have friends that we will stick up for in the time of need, much as I would hope they would do the same.

As for these forum wars its getting annoying, I get Artyem, Kesh that that other Frisian Dura'something -1'ing any post I make as if they are trying to tarnish my reputation regardless if I'm posting on our diplomatic stance or what flavour of ice cream is the best. I try and stay somewhat respectable and open minded but you guys and your constant whining about not being fair when the tables are turned is childish at best when you do the same thing in turn when the opportunity arises.

Enjoy the xp, Fight back, turtle up, call or wait for help but at the end of the day when you shut your computer off nothing changes. They could wipe strat any second and would that really crush you? I would hope not.. So when your looking like your about to lose, remind your self its not real. We were getting battered at first so I know how frustrating it is, but seriously, get over it. Deal with it and move on.

This is completely backwards. If companies, governments, people enter into agreements and decide to just break it whenever they wish, noone would ever enter into such agreements in the first place. Just because Hospitaller broke the NAP and wont be "punished" for it, does not mean there are no consequences. I, personally, now know I can not trust anything their leadership says and will not enter into a agreement with them in the foreseeable future or will I even want to "hang out" with them casually if they are going to act like that. Trust between people is important.

And Aztek you said much more that what you are saying here in this forum. Promises were made and you just arbitrarily breaking them will forever sour my and others opinion of you and those you represent. Also nobody is upset we are losing. We are annoyed that you made a agreement with us, then broke it arbitrarily. How are we supposed to ever trust you or your clan again? In this strat or the next? What about other clans and yours? Can they trust you to hold your promises now after this?

Where in the world did you get these promises? The only one I ever talked to from NH was turbo. The extent of our conversations were this. LCO and HP went to war with NH. I told turbo we were staying out of it, which we did. I told him that we wanted to stay neutral. Turbo offered to let us sell in 2 of your villages at no more than 500 goods per transaction. Turbo went on to say that NH might possibly attack FCC if they attacked us while in NH land. We talked about how Digglez was set in his ways and I said I wish Turbo was running things as he was a lot easier to get along with. At no point did I promise anything other than to say we were staying neutral, which we did at the time. Once Occitan handed over a village to us that was being fought for by NH then we had to have discussion on what our move would be, we knew NH would want to take it back so we could pass it back to them and hope to work on a friendly relationship, or hold it and go to war. With all the hostilities with FCC and possibly Tkov gunning for us anyway, we figured at this point in the game we had to take a stance.

WE WERE NEUTRAL up until the point where I contacted Turbo and let him know of our intentions the day before. If this was planned from before do you really think I would have personally gave you troops from Tulga to give back to us to try and resolve that issue with goretooth?  We could have took out 2 of your members (Frisia division of your alliance) right off the hop. Digglez has always had animosity towards us, us a few of our guys to NH. Personally I tried to work passed that and hoped we could have been closer, But some of our members could not get by the idea of NH not jumping on our back if Tkov was to attack again.  Turbo can call me out if he wants because he was the one I dealt with, No one else from NH can say that so you guys need to stay out of this as far as quoting me on what our conversations went like.

We honored our part of the NAP agreement and it ended months ago.  There was no official agreement made after this,  even though they continue to state otherwise.

Quit clinging to some make believe agreement to use as ammunition for your holier than thou argument.
To NH it was perfectly ok to ambush our villages and use TKOV as leverage to keep them,  but heaven forbid we take them back at some point in a war game.

Between your original shady ambush and your current diplomatic tactics,  I can say that we don't need or want a clan like that as a neighbor.  If not for you riding TKOV's success,  you would have been ousted a long time ago as you deserved for how low you stooped for a few extra villages.

We actually cancelled ALL our agreements with you before attacking. Unlike what you did to us this time. Despite all the bad blood between us I never thought our working relationship would end like this. Can say I am very disappointed, you guys were great allies and friends last strat, something clearly changed from then to now in your diplomatic core.

Please for the love of god post a link to this NAP agreement, or is this what you are implying I secretly promised to Turbo? because if that is the case Turbo is either lying, or misunderstood me when I said we wanted to stay neutral.

I don't really like posting on the forums much anymore, but here's something you Hospitaller folks have to realize:

Your homelands are not in any danger. Because of how many troops you can muster quickly, and how your lands are set up with terrain, distance, and things like that....nobody has ANY desire to invade you.

Seriously, FCC tried it and it was a shit-fest. It's like invading Russia in winter. Stop worrying about people invading you. If someone did, you should thank them for their gear and be on your merry way.

After last strat i made it a habit to make treaties public from the get go, so ... missunderstandings ... wont happen that easily.
If someone is serrious about it, he can sign it in public, if not it wont come to it. If then a treaty is broken the public can respond accodingingly to the Oathbreaker.
Atm it would be your word against theirs and noone is any wiser here.

There are a few facts you can't deny, FCC and TkoV are friends since strat 2.0, havent attacked each other had been allied before, didn't at each others throat this round, have toghether roughly 4 times the members as Hosp , 2-3 times claimed land and a lot of friends who either too cowardly to admit it or just plain opportunists which jump their bandwagon. Sure Hosp also have friends, but till now they sticked to "they stay in Step". To my own surprise even a former enemy joined their side as they recognized the inbalance in this war. The only thing which Hosp really did wrong in last in this strat, that some o their overcompensating bigdicks were send to do relations ground work and that others behaved like little childs on the NA servers ... but serriously i don't see there any differnce to ANY other clan my own including. Both sides are demonising the other and that overall backfires onto a deminishing community like ours. So even if Hosp go down balls blazing ... i think i got that expression wrong ^^, anyhow they will have fun doing it ;)

EDIT: just saw last post of Aztek. That is what i ment, make everything public, then there is less room for missunderstandings. If you have to work out an official paper as base for a treaty, people get their brains working. If you just idle talk politics on a teamspeak, while you may even play some crpg in meanwhile, then you get things mixed up .. been there .. done that .. didn't like it.

I'd argue that pacts have more credibility when no one is around to enforce them.  It's simply about whether a signatory is trustworthy or not.  We're all pretty trustworthy with a gun to our heads.

Just sayin'.  We've already established that no agreement was really broken in this case.

@sdfjkln, Adoptagoat

it depenends on the type of treaty, the reasons for that type of treaty, the timeline within that treaty is looked at again as reasons & relations may change, the history of the people who signed and if those really have the power in the faction they represent and therefore are able to get their people in line.

Adoptagoat has a point with "not pressured into a treaty", if you force a treaty, it may only hold aslong you keep holding the gun. If a treaty came out of both sides wishes, not enforced and also with benefits for both, a treaty has a defenite higher chance to survive over time.
