Title: FCC Calradian Tour
Post by: Matey on October 09, 2013, 07:28:40 am
We have decided to use up some of our troops on for XP/Fun battles around Calradia! Here is how it works.. If your faction has a castle or town that they would like to try defending against 1500-1600 troops... then post here and let us know! We will happily send out one army to attack your fief! If we do happen to win any of these attacks then we can return the fief to whomever we just took it from. If you want to give us a prize for capturing your fief or something you can but not required... Our goal is just to try out some of the interesting fiefs out there that we haven't seen any battles at!

We will probably try to do one attack a week... maybe aim for saturday evenings or something... Feel free to make suggestions and such here and assuming anyone out there would like a single battle at one of their fiefs... then we will get the first one of these going pretty quick!

Priority will go to the most interesting fiefs first as opposed to who makes the request first; but once we commit to one we won't go changing before it happens!

Please siege Narra on a night that I don't have to work. It's a beautiful looking map that I was to see in person. I hope the Ravens don't mind me suggesting their fief.

We would love to see Narra first hand but it is up to the Central Confederacy or the Ravens to invite us for a night of fighting and drinking!

 8-) how about New Malayurg Castle or Nova Uhhun Castle?
Title: Re: FCC Calradian Tour
Post by: Artyem on October 09, 2013, 08:59:30 am
Nova Sharwa Castle
New Bardaq Castle
New Asugan Castle
New Distar Castle
Nova Tulga
New Tulbuk Castle
New Jameyyed Castle
New Durquba
New Narra
Nova Uhhun Castle
New Almerra Castle
Nova Grunwalder Castle
Nova Uxkhal
New Vyincord Castle
Nova Jelbegi Castle
New Sargoth (with wooden walls fixed)

I might have missed a few, but these are all the castles / towns that haven't been hit in NA yet (excluding Sargoth).

8-) how about New Malayurg Castle or Nova Uhhun Castle?

Uhhun looks pretty interesting. But once again, up to Ravens/Central Confed

One castle I'd love to take a stab at would be Durrin... But I don't know how likely it would be requested for glorious China to invite us over to play!

Edited to replace Distar with Durrin cause Durrin is the one I meant cause its fucking crazy. http://cme.comoj.com/images/Durrin%20Castle.jpg

Malayurg has seen some fighting already

I won't rule out the idea but I think we would prefer hitting NA targets so long as we have any to hit! If there isn't enough interest in NA or if there is a really cool EU only fief then we might give it a go and try to pick a time that works for EU and NA.

We are most interested in Castles and Towns as opposed to villages but if we aren't getting many invites or if people would like to do a village at some point then we could arrange it.

Yeah i really want to try out narra and tulga - they havent been attacked on eu side either since they made the new city designs. Favorite part of strat for me is fighting on completely new cool maps - wish they would add some of these to na2 and maybe update with new user made maps na1.

This does not sound right, looks more like FCC trying weaken some of its oppositions fiefdoms garrison/equipment strength. Anyone with a brain wouldn't accept this lol.

I will agree 100% with Dutchy, a field battle would be better far better.
Title: Re: FCC Calradian Tour
Post by: BaleOhay on October 10, 2013, 01:30:44 pm
holy conspiracy theory! What exactly would one single attack to against most castles/cities in the game other than provide fun on a new map? It would weaken us more than anyone else especially if we had multiple battles. This is an attempt to get some of the factions who are on the map who are bored or do not really do anything to have some fun as well without risk of war or annihilation.

We recently had the start of some peace talks that would allow us the opp to try something like this for the fun of the community.

I've never set night-time and never will.  Apart from most people seeming to screw it up and end up with a 5am battle, I'd rather set my alarm in the middle of the night and go back to sleep than fight a battle first thing in the morning in any case.

I remember strat 2 quite well... and while my memories of it are fun now... no one really liked fighting EU vs NA back then. Seriously... we would get attacked at like 2am, 4am and 7am all on tuesday morning... then we would attack the EU guys at the same shitty times for them. The ping is also really damn annoying but not as bad as the time slots.


Anyways, I think we shall try to make Narra the first destination of the tour!

Excuse me but FCC has been hiding in its fiefs for a good while now, whilst LL has been fisting you dogs deep in your own territory.

Anyway it seems like some tricky deception being played by the FCC scum. Why they probably won’t agree to an open field battle instead.

How about everyone stops posting stupid ass one line replies (which is against the rules in the diplomacy section) and gets back on topic. Suggest fiefs to go attack and tell why. That is what Matey made this thread for. Not some stupid shit about whatever stupid shit you guys are talking about right now.

What have the bowlers done again all strat? You should have legions of troops and gear sitting around for this right?

If you take a look Bale, we've had quite a few raids against people in the field which we have won. Being as we're a small faction, we don't have the recruitment power of a faction such as the FCC. So we make due with what we have. Plus, I have no interest in fighting on EU ping. Bronto just wants to see fights and to talk shit, it's what dinosaurs do (apparently).

Besides cheating and getting banned?

We've all done our time so how about you stop trying to dig up the past? It's just making you seem childish to have to go back to almost a year ago to find something to try and talk shit about. Go play with your clams on NA1.

Sorry been busy moving 50k troops for our planned EU Invasion from the steppes siege across calradia, took a lot of players to do that but now we are about ready.  So just post name of fief and two separate days with ideal times for you (give us 3 day advance notice so we can get our army over there) and we will try to do your first time but if something happens the second time will be the actual attack.

Sorry again about the delay.  So far we have Narra and Slezkh castle volunteered, can you guys resubmit with ideal times/days - we can probably do yours on 2 day notice.

Also, MB, TKOV, Occitan any new volunteers?  You guys have multiple castles and cities that no one has had the chance to fight on yet, would be fun.

Well LL is at war with FCC and you cant expect us to look at the forums every 2 minutes before we attack an enemy token. In saying that we are in favour of your tour and have no intentions of trying to sabotage the fun sieges FCC is organizing. We have let through your next token Pro_Stabby_BlackCompany to hit Narra.

OMFG Narra. Bummed out that I don't get to take part in this fight, as it's the one I've been wanting ever since first seeing the apparently new map, but Red Lotus calls- date night. Hope people take some good screens of what will be an epic siege.

Yeah sadly I wont be able to attend it either. Good luck to both sides. I hope we can get a second Narra siege after this one for the people who could not make it to this one.

I'm sad I can't make it either.

Red Lotus?  You're not talking about the Red Dragon are you?  If so, be careful with those Wondrous Punches...they sneak up on ya.

i know its a lot to ask, but would it be possible to have one of the sieges at like 6-7pm eastern?
i know its early for the people it is actually intended for - but i am sure that many EU people would like to participate as well
unfortunately NA battles are usually only possible to attend for crazy nutters like myself who either stay up long or just set their alarm to 4am-ish

i am certain that every interested EU player would be very grateful- however it would be understandable if that was not possible, or not desirable since i guess quite a couple NA people would not be able to make it

Post by: Switchtense on October 24, 2013, 01:03:42 am
well i dont think you can expect a EU invasion to NA anytime soon, would be funny though
NA players having the ping advantage, while EU players have the time advantage (night times would have to be disabled so that EU has at least one advantage)

but anyway, i personally have never seen narra myself, thats why im staying up til 3am to play in the siege :D

You forgot the skill/strategies advantage that NA would have.

Just wait.. MAYBE battles will start picking up with these "new wars" and if a faction does multiple attacks usually the first one is earlyish.

It happens quite often when strat is active. It hasn't been for the past few months though, hopefully it picks up.

It is def nice to look atand was fun to fight. We went 1:1 but did not get to use up all our troops.

Whoever made it did a nice job visually but from a balance standpoint it favors the defenders heavily. Front wall is wide and pretty easy to take for attackers. Once passed it gets bad from a gameplay standpoint. No real cover so you get to walk straight into the ranged storm in your attempt to walk up a continuous funnel that has a ton of choke points.
bumblebee got one nice ladder up to get behind the first major choke but could not hold it.. and really another choke followed. I think we could have found some ladder paths a little more but still tough place. No sure a flag cap is possible here.

I explored a bit and did not see any other paths of attack. Along the same level of op defense as chaos city I think. But much nicer looking

After that huge ramp there is a very long alley with walls on either side that archers can shoot from into backs and what not. Too narrow to ladder up to the archers I believe.

Heavily defences favored. If we held that little alley I would bet we would have gotten a 2-1 KDR from all that ranged in the back

Post by: BaleOhay on October 24, 2013, 05:01:44 pm
I agree Jack. It only gets worse after the first wide ramp. fighting continuelly uphill into narrowing alley with ranged perches and spawn flags.. ugly. No real ways to flank. Tough one. Whoever makes these maps really needs to consider both attack and defense before completing. Still looks nice
Title: Re: FCC Calradian Tour
Post by: Real_Dece_Guy on October 24, 2013, 05:18:34 pm
I think that death alley may be avoidable.  Both on the left and right there are opportunities (albeit limited) to ladder up.  The one time I actually got up from the roofs on the left side, there was a balcony area with enough room to fight on, and a staircase going straight up to the (second?) major group of flags.   The right is a bit harder, but some clever siege laddering could sneak some people in.

Of course either way would probably be suicide without a large amount of people throwing themselves at the ramp for distraction.

I managed to ladder up into the back a few times and wreak some havoc but there are very limited options for laddering so its not hard for the defenders to stop it. I wouldn't dare compare the map to dhirim though. A city map should favour the defenders, the only thing that I think might make it more interesting (though less visually impressive) is if the inner keep was not elevated and thus could have destructable walls so that attackers could (if willing to spend the time and resources) punch another gap in other than the ramp.

Post by: CrazyCracka420 on October 24, 2013, 07:47:17 pm
Didn't play on Narra.  But Dhirim wouldn't be so bad for attackers if their wasn't invisible walls preventing you from laddering up to the tops of the back rooftops (or on some rooftops, you can ladder to, but have a tiny little area you can move around in)

If the invisible walls in the street choke points were gone you could do a lot of nifty laddering... but that wouldn't help the inner keep with 3 different single door choke points with spawn points inside them.

Post by: CrazyCracka420 on October 24, 2013, 08:15:43 pm
No it wouldn't help for the keep.  theoretically those walls should be able to be destroyed.  I honestly don't mind having a siege of a city devolve into fighting over a keep (maybe not 3 different 1 door choke points).  But I think keeps should be where the last of the fighting takes place.

In one of the Dhirim battles, it was super intense trying to hold the last room of the keep.  Attackers broke through and almost took the room on 3 or 4 different occasions, it was some pretty frantic fighting going on.  But I think it's a little too difficult and should be fixed.  That said, it would be nice if the invisible walls/ceilings were removed about the rooftops on these city maps (if it's possible).

The siege of Narra had been a grueling battle. Mismanagement of the construction materials by the maniacal catapult teams left the offenders with gaping holes in the wall but not enough equipment to properly continue the siege. Upon taking in the massive sight that is the Narra city fortress James was taken aback. The keep was 4 maybe 5 times the height of any James had ever seen, its southern architechture odd and misshapen.

As the battle raged the fight came to the massive elongated ramp of the inner keep. Even with excellent support from ranged legends the likes of Desire, Dbrooks and Smals raining swift death on the enemy from above, the core melee group struggled to fight its way up the ramp. Near the end of the siege a strong push by the attackers allowed them to reach the base of the inner keep and make a small push up the next section of tiny incredibly defensible choke points.

On the journey home James remarked to the contingent of Acre fighters who had accompanied him into the siege " That was a meatgrinder, what twisted mind would march on such a castle, it was however a marvel to behold in the flesh."
