There is a dwindling number of clans not under the LCO umbrella. We can not stand aside and watch one of them get wiped without at least merc support. We could have given them gold troops and gear but because of who you guys are we merc and let the dice fall as they will.
I remember a time not so long ago, when people were up in arms about everyone turning the map red. Now people are turning the map orange and only some people give a shit. Another small faction to farm troops for the FCC, good fight clans of NA. I'm disappointed in Acre but I can't say I didn't see it coming. I already thought they were part of the FCC! The question remains, who will join their ranks next? STAY TUNED!(click to show/hide)

Honesty, we were only friendly with the FCC prior to being attacked in Unuzdaq Castle, and then attacked by Raven and Dracul in Yruma and Karindi. Slezkh was another story. We're only joining the FCC now in order to secure the survival of our faction, and to actually have some fun battles. Rather than being blockaded on all sides by those who were, until recently, our enemies, we chose to make peace and join the FCC. Stop the shitposting in this thread, use italics for fuck's sake. We were going strong until about 4 posts in.
Well I hope you all are enjoying your vassalage to occitan. Maybe you should actually talk to Acre or HG or Fallen and you would see "Free" companies of calradia actually means what it says - most factions are largely independent doing trade runs and raids, but available to help with rosters and troops and gold from the other small factions making up the FCC so they don't get railroaded by the giant alliance of Occitan, Hospitallers, Lost Legion, Semenstorm, Chaos, FILDGB, Blood, Golden Apple Corps etc. etc. Those same factions don't even bother declaring war against anyone not in their giant alliance of 80% of the map - I feel bad for aggregate alliance watching 4 factions in the alliance work together to attack them without even 1 declaration of war - just acting on occitan's orders as good vassals because they are a less established new faction thats not a vassal.
Kind of gross watching you guys talk shit while basically copying the garbage that ruined EU, just like occitan copied it from the UIF - lets all kiss each other's asses and carebear because anything else would be too much of a challenge and oh no you might make enemies by actually fighting wars. Thanks for dirtying up the thread - i have to give props to dracul and raven for being one of the few factions not sucking french cock and being strong enough to stand alone and I respect Acre for their impressive defense where they did an amazing job and i completely understand why they asked to join us - same reason we formed it in the first place - strategus is incredibly difficult for small, unestablished factions and having a group of small factions all working together we can actually accomplish something on strategus even when many members in each faction are inactive.
Thank god we have fought most of you at one time or another- NA strat would have been as boring as EU otherwise.(click to show/hide)
he doesn't even give durquba back to the chevalieres, he just lets the NA half of his faction only have 3 villages while only the french get all the cities and castles)
Canuck looked down in disbelief. Could anyone actually consider just the English speaking Americans to fully constitute North America?
Interestingly enough, only my faction and Occitan have attacked FCC proper, with Semenstorm attacking Aggregate Alliance.
Thanks for all the battles. Kudos to Acre, Dracul and Raven for the show of sportsmanship in not abusing game mechanics (1/3 rule and item bombing). As a neutral mercenary I appreciate battles being fought fairly and without all the drama bullshit.
We may be small but with our limited resources we attacked FCC on numerous occasions as well. And if you're going to bring in tertiary clans that aren't part of FCC(but in secret are)we attacked 3rdRL too, several times and they kept getting thousands of troops from somewhereFCC.

We may not have done the best in these, but we attacked FCC "proper" 8 times.

Agg is not one of our trade partners.
Well, the people that should be thanked are the Ravens of Valhalla, as they did 90% of the fighting. Without them this war would have ended a lot sooner, and most certainly not in our favor.
Of course, CHAOS and Occitan / Chevalier for the excellent mercenaries. Sandersson and Apollo for taking on what is easily the worst job in a siege, catapults / engineer work. They did it every single time and we heard very few complaints from them (despite the fact they were probably having the worst time of their lives).
And thank you, Acre, for being reasonable and capable of playing the game cooperatively. So very few people are willing to do this, as the "WIN AT ALL COSTS" mentality has taken over a large majority of the map.
FCC did help organize the final peace treaty, and were the middlemen throughout the entire fight. Good on you, FCC.
We don't sell troops to the FCC seeing as to how we need them to defend our borders from all the armies that attacked or are attacking borders. All we did was buy the fiefs, but the fights are very fun and provide lots of XP. We are ready to have a good tussle with the Frisians too. :wink:
Thank you for accepting us as a serious independent faction and fighting us as one.

although considering the nearly 10k troops FCC's been holding in one of their conquered fiefs on their border, perhaps it will anyway =\)

I imagine you are speakign about New Derchios Castle? It is our Southern border and adjacent to faction we are at war with... It makes sense to garrison it properly.
about 9000 troops inside...
Now look around the map. I can name several places that have an even greater troop mass some in areas far from front lines (no one on this list take any insult, none is meant... just wondering why we are being singled out)
Nova Uxkhal 18,000
Nova Grunwalder Castle 28,000
New Almerra Castle 20,000
New Weyyah Castle 10,500
New Sungetche Castle 12,000
New Tulbuk Castle 14,000
Nova Tulga 11,000
New Ahmerrad 10,000
it would seem we need more men not less
Enjoy the castle arty. Glad dracul is growing again
For the record, Grunwalder is our base of operations, and therefore where we cheaply store our excess troops. As the current lord of Grunwalder, I offer to move the excess troops out should a faction declare their intentions/possession of balls to declare war on us and then actually attack.
You are no priest of mine.Heathen scum!

Pretty weak comparing fiefs way in dormant areas to one that is clearly in a contested combat zone. 8000 troops is not "garrisoned properly" it's impossible to attack due to 1/3 rule, no excuse to have more than 4500 troops in that circumstance.

Tobe fair - remnant was planning on doing some expeditions. Those 8K troops is more a sign of how many remnant are recruiting troops amd jow long its gone with absolutely no attacks. Its not like chaos and occitan would ever have the balls to attack it. Was sitting for 3 weeks with less than 5K troops and nothing.Open Field battles sound fun.

Hell if you take into account how near impossible the place is to take New Dhirim with 6000 troops is ludicrous! That is the force multiplier of having 100,000 men inside that place.

You'll notice that almost exactly around that timeline (3 weeks~) was when FIDLGB attacked Senuzgda castle instead - it was a second resort, because of extra troops being put into Derchios. I am pretty sure right around that time was when it went above the reasonable limit to attack.

I am pretty sure right around that time was when it went above the reasonable limit to attack.Lol, actually we had under 5k troops there when fidlgb atatcked senuzgda because we asked remnant for an army up north, I think we even commented in that battle in ts about you guys bitching out not wanting to fight us rather than a faction still new to how strategus works. The last 2-3K is actually pretty recent in the last week or so as a bunch of remnant guys who had been recruiting for a long time without dropping troops off were gotten a hold of to do so. So yeah guys - keep making shit up because of course FCC is the evil guys and you guys are saints.
Suggestion for Canary:
If you're in the mood for some fights and worried about attacking the castle, we could always meet in the middle between our fiefs and have some open field battles. Just let me know.
edit: I suppose we could have then asked you to take troops out prior to the attack, but talking out fair avenues of war with you guys never seems likely to amount to much, especially considering your attitude now.
So FCC gains a vassal and incorporates another one. Good deal
