Another victory for the great warriors of Fenada!
Tonight we will once again feast in the halls of Fenada and drink from their skulls! Every true warrior of the north are invited. Jarlek the Skald will honor us by his presence!
Let it be known that trade in the village of Fenada is open to all, any may freely come to sell their wares! Furthermore, you can all be a part of the continuing legend of the conquest of Fenada, as the Nordmen welcome all strong and able-bodied men and women to assist in the defence of the village! You can help us not only in battle, but also by recruiting warriors for our cause!

The real brave warriors are fighting on Balde's side instead of fapping over their good performances in battles with ridiculously one sided rosters. Really lame that an entire faction gets prevented from properly participating in Strat because they are perhaps not such proficient forum warriors, and therefore get no roster support whatsoever. Hope a few of you skilled but cowardly independents realize that the fight is a much more true test of skill on Balde's side.
Fighting for the underdog till the end.

you mean the clan that has a castle, a city and 2-3 other villages as well as 3-4 allies in the area (including kalmar and ode) (and they have over 20k troops in the area) cant participate in strat and nords with their one village in the area (which they only took because its fenada) is ruining strat for a medium sized faction?
you say cowardly independents but please elaborate?
Title: Re: Nordmens Reconquest of Fenada.
Post by: Teeth on December 09, 2013, 12:30:21 pm
I don't know about all that but take one look at the rosters of previous battles:
Consider the last battle and compare the amount of big names.Without trying to be condescending about the respectable efforts of the fighters for Balde, there were probably 3 players on their side who I'd consider top notch, whereas there are probably close to 30 top notch players on the side of Fenada. Now of course securing roster support is a part of being succesful in Strat, but this goes a little far. As far as I know Balde are a little German clan who keep to themselves mostly, they just can't compete with bagge sweet talking everybody into joining his fights. Not sure about all the diplomacy ties but it saddens me that independent(?) players like Knitler, Heibai, Qoray, Panos, Steevee and so on bandwagon with the faction with the already strong roster allies instead of taking a glance at the roster and deciding to help out poor Balde like I did.
I can tell you that always trying to fight for the weakest roster is a more fulfilling experience than padding your k/d with the rest of the big names. Also OdE Butan is fighting for Fenada?
Title: Re: Nordmens Reconquest of Fenada.
Post by: Osiris on December 09, 2013, 12:38:05 pm
butan isn't in the Ode strat faction so i guess can do what he likes. I don't know maybe people saw nords take the village then saw Balde, Kalmar, ode and kapikulu armies line up to take it back for balde and decided to fight against the gangbang who knows.
As an independent myself i rely heavily on good roster support to be able to attack anyone. I would have to say if a faction with a castle and a city are too small and its cowardly to attack and ruin their strat than who exactly would i be allowed to fight?

Wat? With such rosters you are never the underdog. I was in the first battle on Nordmen's side, but that was also the last time I will fight for them, the disgustingly stacked roster made that battle a boring and sad rape. Balde didn't stand a chance, they still don't and it is not because of bad gear or bad leading, which are both pretty good, it is simply because they get the shit end of the Merc pool.

Which is for most people the side that does not get their faces raped in every battle, the side that has 30 amazing players to fight next to, the side where you can get a 5:1 k/d and look pro, the side that gains much more xp due to much higher kill rate. Winning the war because nobody wants to fight for the losing team and because the German guys with poor English skill don't go around teamspeaks to get all the skilled players. Truly a victory worth bragging about. Just trying to incentivize people to sign up for the underdog, because neither the game mechanics nor anyone else is doing it. All it takes is a little integrity.

Post by: Molly on December 09, 2013, 01:53:01 pm
Just my 2 cents:
The last time I applied for any strat battle was the first one Bagge did. And I even got into the roster despite my 15/27 and being bad overall. Unfortunately I couldn't participate since I had to re-install crpg and the download server was down/broken.
The reason I applied for their side? Cuz I know Bagge from EU1 and that he's a friendly guy. Simple as that.
Maybe I should apply again cuz let's be real here... I am a handicap for every strat army :D Maybe I can "balance" things out with involuntarily wasting a few tickets :wink:
Title: Re: Nordmens Reconquest of Fenada.
Post by: Butan on December 09, 2013, 03:11:41 pm
As much as I hate the Strategus Battle roster mechanism, I quite enjoy seeing the underdog strategus faction raping some ass in a village through sheer roster strength.
I hate the plain 1:1 ratio open field battles, everyone in the same outfit with the same tactics, same commanders, same same; much more than a 2:1 village fight with nordic items (could be more nordic too! would feel even cooler) and in the same teamspeak with a lot of very good players.
I understand your point of view Teeth, but if you had complete and fair balance of roster strength in every battles, seeing we already have gear balance between all but the poorest of factions, it would only mean that you can predict the outcome of a battle even before it has been played (the only other important factor is the commanding efficiency)... Which is almost already the cases throughout most strategus fights today! So dont ruin it for Searaiders, I say they are doing a good job of bringing fun to strategus, and this is why I lend my arm to them.
Apply to searaider Teeth! :P Join the Dark Force! Become a hero today!

Teeth does make a great point tho. The commanding was decent on Balde's side, it surely seemed on par with Nordmens' commanding.
and thats a nice thing you are trying there. however i dont agree with your insight on the motivation for the guys fighting with nords.
I agree with Teeth. Why would you have a hard time, when you can just pick the winning side and improve your stats while doing so? It's so much easier.

Title: Re: Nordmens Reconquest of Fenada.
Post by: Nessaj on December 09, 2013, 04:45:44 pm
You're not advocating fairness you're advocating a quick boring predicable outcome.
I don't see how Nords are the strong ones in Strategus values when literally outnumbered like 1:10 plus grossly more when counting allies, we literally have no allies (little one in Osiris :P), and now we have to give away half our roster for it to be fair? *Insert Jackie Chan "mind blown" image* In the first two battles I saw plenty of people who would have been signed for Nords be signed for Balde because they were accepted there first.
If balde didn't have to go through a meat-grinder it'd just be boring and predictable, and we never thought we'd hold a village for this long. Their allies ran away after the second battle instead of persisting, keeping the village locked down from 19 to 22 every day, they would have had it by now then, ages ago. Major kudos for not attacking at obscene hours though, or using trickery.
Also most importantly, some balde guys were mean to bagge; YOUZ NO MEAN TO LE BAGUETTE!!!! SUDOKU!!
Title: Re: Nordmens Reconquest of Fenada.
Post by: bagge on December 09, 2013, 05:09:51 pm
Who the hell told you I was around at peoples teamspeak, "smooth talking" all the skilled players Teeth? :P
Anyway, from the very start we were 4 people with 1,5k equiped troops each, with around 200k each, for upkeep. I just wanted some funny battles and I make some lame RP after the battles, just for fun, not to brag or provoke anyone.
There was some Baldes that were rude to me when we first attacked and also when I simply asked for a tiny favor. I also had a reply that they had access to around 50k troops and they already posses a city, castle and two villages. How does that make them the underdog?
We can't even loom gear, we can't do proper trading and we don't have access to such a huge ammount of troops. We are without allies, except for our dear friends and independant strategus players Osiris and Torben. We don't have the same player base as Baldes either, so we can't grind as many troops as they can.
Let's be real now Teeth. We might have quality, but in the long run Baldes will win the "war", unless they accept the Danegeld. :P
For the rest of you fighting for Nordmen; I hope you enjoy the battles as much as I do. TS can be a bit noisy sometimes, but yeah with 50 players there's no suprise there. I try to make my commands so our players have fun. I know we could probably spare more tickets not charging out, building forward spawns to attack Baldes spawn etc. But hell, I don't want our battles to be boring and sitting in a god damn village waiting 20 minutes for someone to attack is max boring :P

Hello guys,
Like I said before, it's not fun fighting you, but this doesn't mean I wouldn't fight you. Balde is a small German clan, like Teeth noticed, and its realy hard for us to grind all those troops, like for all the other smaller clans in strat.
If Bagge comes up with his 4k troops or something it's fine for us, it wouldn't be a hard story at all to fight them, normaly. But if you grinded 20k troops in almost half a year, and all those troops are nearly family members, it's not fun killing them. But in a 1:1 it still would be fine.
But after the first battle we saw we would hardly reach a 2:1 in equalent gear. So we decided to go on heavier gear, full plated strong german tribes men fighting some Vikings, what happens, same result - but even less players applying.
At this point of time Bagge had 2k troops in his fief left, 4k troops for us. High price but we would have paid it. After the last battle we saw more Nordmen coming to Fenada and at this point, with 9k troops inside the village, which would mean 18k troops for us, I decided to stop it. We don't have the recourses to waste 18k troops on a village
-= I'm sry Bagge, we wont keep this war going on, you showed us in a great way what would happen if we fight against old and well included players of crpg =-
