Looks like Teutonic is going to war.Who's that?
Who's that?
AFAIK it's Teutonics (old name) vs The Republic of M8s (new name) and Art of Wu-Tang (new name) vs Ildist and M8s (old name), so two wars for the price of one!Can't go wrong with that.

Without a doubt if you have a Chaos tag and in another strat faction ( you are obvs working together ). It's such a coincidence Illdist and mates attacked us at the same time when Chaos did. It's impossible for a 7 man faction to have twice as many troops(plate armor) then us without the help of Chaos. Stop denying it on the forums to make you look good. And stop posting in our faction hall. I made a thread in the deplomacy section.
Yet another close battle...
They haven't gotten any money from us, whatever else we've exchanged with them.
"Working together" is not the same as allied, and it is not the same as handing over resources for free, either. Not to disparage, of course, the fact that it happens or the people who do that (such as Chaos and FIDLGB). The Mates haven't gotten their plate armor from us, and they haven't gotten the gold to buy it from us. Any "working together" is by way of trade agreements and access to the same information, nothing more. Malaclypse wasn't trying to make us look good; the Mates (incidentally now a 10-man faction) have not been given anything by us, and you're just being accusatory to make us and them look bad, in your faction thread or not.
Nobody said they did, malaclypse just admitted they got 3K troops from you guys for dirt cheap, that's all. No one said they got gear, just you talking about it now.
Yeah HOC_Grunt_Taxtros was leeching for most of the battle while spawning on our champion rouncies and using up most of them while dying afk. Took a while to get him kicked then he rejoined. he died 44 times this way and AOW lost by 33 tickets and we were out of horses during the last 300 tickets when we stopped doing a 1 for 1 :(I wouldn't say he single-handedly lost the battle for you guys...to put the blame on one person is a bit ridiculous. Witchcraft went 9:34, Fringe went 9:33 and Dach went 9:32. But they are not to blame. The kill death ratio for the mates was simply better than the AoW side and there were many other reasons for the loss. One I can think of is losing your flags twice and getting your forward spawn attacked. Another would be the dominance rohypnol displayed in the battle. Finally, the commander was able to (for the most part) keep us from pushing out too far. Either way it was a close and exciting battle and I look forward to more!
Its true, one guy can decide a battle. Needless to say he was added to a couple clan's blacklists.

shut the fuck up with your whining you nerds
edit: just saw that the only person whining is keshian, let me correct my statement
shut the fuck up with your whiningnerdskesh
if you think kesh is a my old friend up vote this post
*Except maybe when I sold Partyboy that fief.
So what is it kesh, was it the weaker armor or Taxtros that lost you the battle? He had 9 kills, who is to say those 9 killed wouldn't have gone on to kill 4 of your guys, thus nullifying your ticket advantage? What if Dach didn't play and allers got 100 kills? It's all a lot of "ifs" and you're the only one who seems to think this way. Large battles are not decided by one person unless it someone comes down to a 1 versus 1 duel (which would be awesome). If you accept your wins as superior team tactics, then accept your losses as a team as well and acknowledge the other teams efforts. Sorry for ruining this thread AoW!
Since Jesus brought it up, Roh's always one of the top performers (usually the top by far) in strat battles. What kind of drugs do you guys think he uses? He clearly is on performance enhancing drugs, I'd wager some amphetamine.
Maul or cav lancer is a drug.
No skill involved, it's all in the build.
That's why all those Raven 2h cav are all 100-30 every battle right
Those Raven pikemen usually top the scoreboard regardless of the fight, and they usually go unprotected thanks to unaware teammates.
But I guess Cav and 2h are hard mode because arrows can hit you, right?

Before you talk shit about Ravens, maybe you should actually know something about us. We have one (1) 2h cav, its BlackWhite, hes actually pretty good. And nobody here is insulting the opposing teams skill. Turbo made a joke, you need to relax.

Way to get uber defensive dude, I just went shot for shot. Your boy basically implied Rohy was a no skill puty that crutches on his builds, I only pointed out that there are Ravens with the same builds that don't do nearly as well, as often, and Artyem jumps on almost every post I make in the Diplomacy board.
Turboflex made a joke, yet you basically implied that they're 'no skill puties', and came back with a raging attitude when they defended themselves.
Man, your constant passive aggressive behavior combined with your reflexive need to be offended by everything makes it hard for me not to post. Don't take it so personally, I simply have a need to combat unjustified belligerency.
And yet again you speak from ignorance. There is not a single Raven with those builds.

Yep, just like every other class.
This petty bickering bullcrap sucks, and the fact that noone can acknowledge skill if it's someone on the other 'side' sucks, too.

And yet again you speak from ignorance. There is not a single Raven with those builds. And also yet again Turbo was making a joke, he did not imply anything. If you knew anything about him, you would know that he would just come out and say exactly that, if he thought that way. Stop shitting all over us, laugh at a joke and move on.

I thought that was a bidding war :(
p.s. can I buy troops from you
More like who cares about strat, it turns good people into spergs, especially on the forums. I don't care about strat as much as I used to when The Mates first started, if you haven't noticed I pretty much call people gay in diplomacy threads. Leave the sperg out of this war, I still consider Wesley, Holiday and other AoW guys to be friends and nice guys. Let's not be mad nerds and spoil our cRPG relationships over worthless pixels on some web browser.
Or of course, make the decision to become a sperg forum warrior. I couldn't care less, it's your life m8s
Lol - we were doing better than a 1 for 1 until our weaker armor ran out down to broken lamellar while you guys still had almost 70 body armor the entire battle, it was around the same time we ran out of horses. We never had more than 50ish body armor the entire battle and were doing better than 1 for 1 as attackers. And yes someone just standing still leeching our best and most limited gear for most of the battle did make the difference between winning and losing when we lost by 33 tickets. Sitting and doing nothing, without him those tickets would not have been lost since being afk contributes nothing.
I resign.
Zounds! I accidentally resigned by mistake! No wonder thou wert victorious! I shalt abdicate.
and some guy who every time I personally saw him (which was many times) was riding around on his horse, often to get piked and killed was actually "just standing still leeching our best and most limited gear". Yup, completely relevant commentary there.
People repeatedly complained about him going afk until he was vote-kicked - he went afk where he would autorun forward with no attacking. So yes leeching, snideness doesnt make you right.
My being snide was because of all that other stuff you exaggerated about, too, y'know. (Wait a minute, the battle we're talking about he wasn't even votekicked from... what?!)
I don't disagree that a bad merc is a problem, but I was trying to paint a picture the way you (or more appropriately: Smoothrich) would, by putting the most extreme aspects of what happened in the forefront of the statement, and by removing the shades of gray/totality of the truth.
For what it's worth, I never saw Taxtros ram into the enemies he was charging without trying to attack us... but my whole point was that it's silly to go over these kinds of trivial details as if it matters any way other than academically. A strat retrospective is nice, of course, and talking about the battles after the fact is entertaining, but there's this seemingly constant implication of blame, excuse and guilt that just kills the real arguments to be had. By "real arguments" I mean balderdash Strategus diplomacy disputes and more relevant trash-talking, like what people actually did and not what people could have done or did not do.
I wish everyone who goes 1:1 or less in a battle would just leave because they're worthless and I know in my battles i'd just unhire anyone not going 1:1 mid battle if I could. I pretty much always leave battles if I can't go atleast 1:1 because you just are a burden.
And then you lose because you are outnumbered 2 against 1.... nice idea... :lol:

I'd rather have 20 good players than 40 trash ones.

You could win a seige with 10 Rohs with full plate and great mauls.
Damn sorry about this late battle tonight, We did have our night-time settings so I don't know why that happened :/ We'll try to make sure that doesn't happen again. This fights have been coming down to the wire though all very fun and exciting.
So how about that fort of armored guys hiding from naked wild hell hounds. :D
I agree, these have been some of the more enjoyable fights this strat, other than me having to call my old friends out on not following orders. But yeah, bad battle times cant be avoided since the 1 hour invincibility keeps pushing the battles back. The one tonight won't be much of a fight, though.
privilege of the attacker. Defense has enough advantages
There is an easy way to pick which are battles and at what times and where. Go on the offensive.
Otherwise do not judge those who do.
Last I checked making things as easy as possible for the defenders was not the best idea for a sustained campaign.
SUMBUJA 2013!!
Sadly, no. Tadsamesh the legend began with 50 brave peasants against 10 full plated knights bravely defeating the impenetrable armor and was further expanded by defeating multiple armies following. Sumbuja now - plate armor with more troops and more mercs winning battle - not really a legend sadly, just expected win. To look for a new legend to be born we must look for new heroes, ones where they defy all odds to win again and again. Equip Sumbuja with only peasant gear in the next battle and win and you will get your chance to become a legend.He's referring to our heroic defense of Sumbuja last strat, where we defended the town against the hospitallers despite terrible odds.
Do you have what it takes to become a legend?
We have used the whittle technique without raids (see Ahmerrad and several others I can not remember off the top of my head)In the most recent ahmerrad sieges, you guys item bombed the shit out of us, We couldn't access arrows/siege equipment for the first half of the battles, and you gave us something like 2k Torches and rondels, and a insane amount of other useless gear. Not only that, but after 5+ attacks and item bombs you failed to take Ahmerrad. So I wouldn't say it was a successful technique. At least not against us.

I dont care about this war or anything I just want to point out: In 2004 I was living in DC (long way from Malaga in Spain) and I was doing a little clubbing, all VIP rooms, party animal, and the Wutang came in (probably not all of the circus but about 5 of them): They had to ask us and the manager for blow cause they were broke, and although we bought them some bubbly and charlie, only one of them stepped up and freestyled, but even then we had to boo him offstage cause he was trying to get away with some prewritten commercial pop trash.and your waiting for the return of 'n sync
Plastic Ganstas, all of them. Anyway, that is a weird memory from a life I dont live anymore. But it IS a true story. Good times, good times.
But yeah: Wutang are not especially good at any genre of hiphop, I doubt any of them know how to defend themselves any better with martial arts than they could with some sick beats to drop on, when they choked. Dont use them as your avatar/name of clan, they are a joke.

You make me sad Kesh.
That was TEBANDRA!!!! REMEMBER TEBANDRA!
I was wrong - i forgot Tebandra :(It seems like Ethgar's plan is working.
I must commit SEPPUKU!
Also quick question for FILDGB - Should we expect all the fief owners to have nighttime settings of 8 pm to 4 am (so all of primetime in na blocked off) or is that just ethgar? Thanks for letting us know in advance.
