Title: Epic start day :D (*strat*)
Post by: Lennu on August 06, 2013, 01:19:58 am
Today (Tuesday) is gonna be one damn HC strat day :D   Coalition vs Grey Order
First a 4 hour nonstop battles: 3x  ~1800 vs ~1800 shiny armies.
Then a few hours break before the ultimate showdown Ramses(1900) vs Zaalback (1100)  Edit: now it's 1900 vs 2200
Overall exp should be over 4.5mil


I hope both teams will put together their best rosters, and everyone has enough coffee & snacks to survive through all that. So lock your doors and shut down your cell phones!   :lol:

Okay, first battle is over.
Grey Order won, with 138 tickets remaining. They started with 143 tickets more than the Coalition, so overall it was extremely even battle.

The map was really small. Both teams started to build their forwards spawn, but because the actual spawn were so close to each other, the forward spawns ended up being right next to each other  :lol: Coalition as a defender got their forward spawn up first, but about half way of the battle we lost our forward spawn and were forced to pull back to defend our mail spawn. We were slowly losing more tickets than grey order until the mark of 600 vs 400, when grey order ran out of heavy horses and heavy armor. That's when we started to turn the battle around, but the losses we had suffered were too great, so we only managed to get the over all k/d back to 1:1

Yeah, now it's kinda tricky to get in because we have to do the roster check while the previous battle is going on.

And we just had our asses kicked :(    When defending the light armor wasn't much of a problem, but now that we are attacking against heavier opponent we're in trouble. And ofc, having 3 enemy cav spawning right next to our forwards spawn all the time cost us a lot of c-sites.

Sorry, but if you are doing a roster while the fight is still going on there is no way to get a fair roster done.

The third was like... "Topscore, WOUHH.. wu? battle is over?"

Meh, there are bad and good days. Today was a bad one, but don't worry, we'll come back.

Also, on the first and last battle we actually did very well considering we are still without proper plate. Second one was fail and third one epic fail. But shit happens. And shit like that happened to greys, too. So yeah, go on and brag about it, you deserve it. Don't get too confident, though ;)

and the gloves difference yeah about 10 armor worth, plus heavier horses - in a large protracted battle differences like that add up to 200-300 tickets

Post by: Vermilion on August 07, 2013, 02:33:49 am
Loosing and trying to justify it by saying you only had coats of plate compared to what Greys had...

Did you consider that
1. You were the ones who attacked (3 out of 4 battles)
2. Greys normally have the same equipment (like Apostates do) so you knew before attacking what they would have.
3. You had coats of plate down to the last man, Greys ran out of body armor in one battle and ran out of heavy armor in another.

Hehe  :twisted:

Also the addition in HP made a reduction in movement speed. Considering how many agi whores there are, by comparison to strength, we all know how effective the additional movement speed can be. (I got my ass kicked a few times which I feel was due to movement speed)

But enough arguing over gear etc. Everyone (or at least most) had fun and lots of EXP :D Which I thank both side for.

It was great fun and personally I was very impressed by Coalitions performance, from my perspective they did a lot better than Apostates do against Greys.

An finally if you really think it was all down to equipment (or at least the deciding factor), you're a big faction with presumably lots of money.. spend some on better armor next time :wink:
Title: Re: Epic start day :D
Post by: Lennu on August 07, 2013, 11:12:42 am
In the long run, both teams will be doing roughly the same amount of damage to each other, since the average skill level is also roughly the same as well. With better armor one team can take more damage = 1 tickets lasts longer, and that way gets to deal damage. It takes 1 or 2 more hits to kill a tincan than a normal medium'ish armored guy.

But Vermilion is right that we do have money for plates. These armies are the reserve we have gathered before everyone went full plate, so there will be a lot more battles to come  :wink:

It takes 1 or 2 more hits to kill a tincan than a normal medium'ish armored guy.

And compared to loomed coat of plates, 0-1 more, and at what cost? Not being able to zip in and out of range as good, and a bit lower damage. I usually rotate a bit on my equipment during battles, but most effective kdr-wise with kuyak, long spear and hourglass gauntlets. Not too restricted when it comes to attacking when the possibility arrives, and decent survivability too.

I don't know what gloves you're using but they matter more because the weight increase is not that noticeable, and greys have quite heavy ones in hourglass gauntlets. Might matter a bit if you use mail mittens or something.

I agree Gurni that for a pikeman the medium armor works the best. Your weapon will outrange everyone else, so best way to use that advantage is to move fast. But 2 handers for example will need to tank hits since they don't have the range, and nobody can block everything on strat battles  :lol:

:P Well, it should be the other way around, cause I play without shield and Anatman is a shielder (or was when I saw him) :P

As to heavy armors, I think that in clusterfuck liek we had in 1st and 4th battle for most of the melee heavier means better. Btw, these 2 battles were suprisngly similar :P

First one.

Actually the stake limit was maxed against us all the time, so we couldn't get any stakes up. They should give both teams their own stake limit, so this wouldn't be a problem.

In first battle we were defenders, so we could put as many stakes as we wanted :P  And what about ladders, I'm sure their limit wasnt achieved. Definitely coalition can do better than yesterday, though 1st and 4th battles were pretty good, a bit more tickets and gear and we could win both of them.

1st and 4th battles were pretty good, a bit more tickets and gear and we could win both of them.

In first battle 1 to 1 K/D ratio for defending isn't good. Defenders have natural advantage , since they Cav and Archers can hunt much easier. But still probably it was close one, GO was without armors at the end.

4th battle :) was really nice. Was quite strong pressure from Coalition, GO had mess in inventory so at beginning had disadvantage. Still i don't think they was in danger.

But i agree that battles was extremely hard, at least from my perspective. I hope there will be more, and ill be able to mercing in them. I was thinking that its bigger attack not only 4 armies.

Apostates 1800 VS Die Normannen 1500

Grey 1900 VS Remain 1000 Apostate army (carrying loot)

Coalition Vs Remaining Grey 1100 (with loot from battles above) + 1000 reinforcements
