Title: I started playing M&B and cRPG 4 years ago - Looking back at the past and now
Post by: Bjord on October 10, 2014, 07:49:02 pm
Hey guys,

Long time no see.

This is a long read so if you're feeling tired, I suggest you skip it and do something less requiring of your attention span. :wink:

Recommended sound track to listen to while reading:

 


For those of you who don't know me, because I'm sure there are some new faces who are part of the core of the community now, I'm an older played called Bjord, or back then Bjordhinn.

I started playing M&B Warband a few weeks after it released on Steam, vanilla-fresh-out-of-the-oven-M&B Warband without any mods. Or at least mods I was aware of, because there was a closed beta version of the game with even older oldmy old friends than me, I call them "sages" - *cough* okiN, Mylet, cmpx8hcabsdasd, chadz, fasader, vargas or espu and some mythical irc:// sages from some anonymous depth of the webs of an internet gaming community *cough*.

I'm shortly put just one of those oldmy old friend veterans that you hear the occasional anecdote about how douchy they were, how skilled they were (yeah right...) etc. etc.

Anyway!

On to the topic:

In March 2010, I bought the game through Steam and practically begged my father to buy it for me, he did. Spoiled little shithead I was.

My enthusiasm in the game was very high as I was a little kid (16-17?), so I completely no-lifed I have to admit. I spent a lot of my free time trying to improve my skills in the game.
It was like a competition with the other players, and earning recognition and respect for accomplishing things that people look up to was very rewarding.

My journey was quite speedy and I improved at a very fast rate - or at least a fast rate compared to what one may feel is fast today, now that you have some life experience and perspective.

I played on my own for a while under the dumbest pseudonyms you can have, namely BillyJoeBob - because I thought rednecks were hilarious and something I would want to form my image around. Complete retardation I think, looking back. Anyhow...

I bitched around a lot and usually had a pretty big mouth, but I wasn't as loudmouthed as most of the oldmy old friends here remember me as (and probably still think I am loudmouthed, I know who you are :wink:). I was a pretty quiet guy, it was a new experience. The setting was amazing - swords, real-time combat, wits versus wits, medieval and competitive.

Thinking about some legends from that time, you will have names like M pop up, who has made numerous "look-at-my-fucking-skill-montage" with fucking badass effects and truly impressive skills, so he has all the bragging rights to be fair. I applied together with him for a clan called IG, another sage clan that still lives on today, so that's another veteran, whom I admittedly know very little about otherwise.

I didn't really make the cut there when I tried to apply because they required a certain degree of maturity, which I at the time severely lacked, so I went looking elsewhere.

That was when I found another clan, a Scandinavian based clan called Einherjar, which had been founded during the closed beta stage of Warband - they really seemed like a cool group and I loved vikings, which was their "theme". I thought they were kickass and I'm raised in Sweden so it was only natural that my at-the-time-naïve-and-nationalistic pride would eventually lead me to such a clan.

Again, I applied and failed on the first try because of immaturity issues, of trying too hard to be liked and generally being very unsympathetic. The founder, Nagelfar was a chill guy, so he let me try again and praising me for my skills in the game, saying I was one heck of a "warrior" and it was too bad that some members didn't approve my application. That really set my ass on fire for the game and nerd-mode went into a whole new level. Everyday I played a lot on a duel server called Nditions, which by the way was the name of the guy who was paying for the server (think he was called Alexander or some shit, anyway he left the game and Bulldog from Caravan Guards, really awesome guy took over the server and founded the Nditions community which has roots in cRPG).

The second attempt succeeded, I was a skilled and recognised player within the clan and most of the members had accepted me. I managed to stay in my skin for a while in that clan, learning about how to fucking behave yourself with other people for the most part and focusing on the fun part.

Ultimately, after about 2-3 months of playing with the same guys every day and the same maps everyday, the game started becoming stagnant and I was craving for something new.

Then the Einherjar guys introduced me to a mod called cRPG, like 2-3 days after alpha beta alpha cRPG had launched with chadz and gang. You could see chadz very regularly, running around on the first cRPG server which was sponsored by Vincenzo, one of the core members of the Warband Native clan called the 22nd (dumb name if you ask me...), which is a  persona non grata legend of whom I shall only hint at his character by the name of Legolas.

The mod was unique. It had everything I had craved. The platform which I fell in love with; sword combat, skill against skill and strategy - and the model that I always liked, RPG-elements with clear goals, rewards and excitement. Leveling up, buying your own gear, investing in skill points, trying to get an advantage on other players in every stage.

Shit man, for a kid my age at the time, to be interested in such a game, you have to be a bit socially awkward, so I won't say other people may have spent the same time as me on such a mod. It's a mod for nerds, let's all admit it. We're nerds. :lol:

Moving on, again I progressed fast in the game. I was more quiet and less loudmouthed as I would eventually become, I was focusing hard on improving my skills, so people probably don't remember me but I went under the name "Cultist". I'd be fucking surprised if anyone but my old Einherjar clanmates like Angantyr, or even him, would remember that name.

I'm not gonna bore you with what my first build was and shit like that, but the general atmosphere and the community was really fresh. It was completely new, everyone was curious and interested in how to better beat other people and get more gold and experience than the other guy, getting cooler armours, cooler weapons and more badass characters so you can rape the shit out of the other team even harder. One particular name comes to mind, Jesus (an actual player, not the biblical one). Among his vast array of weapon choices, he often wielded an awlpike, the short version one.

Looking back at the past and now, Jesus was the first min-maxer. Why do I say this? Well if you remember him, you would know how he raped the living crap out of the average player, wearing a Vaegir War Mask (typical min-maxer helmet) and being generally bad ass. Didn't type much, just killed the shit out of us and inspired many of us to be more competitive. He also had a clear advantage level & item wise as well as skill points and build structure wise.

Moving on twice, I had a short hiatus and eventually when I came back, Native Warband did not interest me. The people there had become full of themselves, and some still are elitistic douchebags in Native just like they were back then. I only wanted to play cRPG. The Einherjar guys kinda lost interest during the time I was away, as the mod was still new and full of nuisances like server resets every 30 minutes so that your progress could be saved in the database (incredibly crude but brilliant nonetheless, considering the limitations of modding the game without WSE). They also liked to wipe your progress, as it was still in a testing stage and in the process of improvement.

Also when I came back, the most frequent character wipe periods had all but faded and the progress would be more long-term and arduous, but even more rewarding and persistent.

That's when nerd level super-saiyajin-over-9000-mode started. First I was in Guards, fairly liked and respected within the clan for the most part, especially by Bulldog who had a Hungarian girlfriend and found out I was also Hungarian. He then switched clans to Shogunate, which was, as seen by its name, a medieval Japan themed clan with samurai and ronin, and I followed with him.

I also pretty much got told off by the Einherjar, as I was kinda going down in activity there and the leader wasn't happy about me "multi-clanning", you know the tedious wannabe clan spirit bullshit.

Anyway, I decided to focus my skill points on two-handed combat, which was a very daring class at the time as it involved having to know how to manual block, swing effectively and generally survive the monster archers like Vargas and some other Merc oldmy old friends.

Everyone pretty much had a ranged weapon on the side, for some reason. Nobody really gave a shit about the balance, people just picked what they wanted to play and played. There were complaints every now and then about how something was unfair, but mostly everyone were so new that they didn't care. I played with Shogunate for a while and started being noticed more by the rest of the community for my prowess in the horse and sword game with persistent character development. There is even a post dating back to the start of this forum after it migrated from the sub-forums of Taleworlds about how I all of a sudden became a good player. Just shows how focused people were on improving their own skills and not giving a shit about everything around you lol.

cRPG for me was like a sanctuary, so of course I probably spent more of my energy in it than the average person and it's not strange to create gaps with this in mind.

I eventually became a tool, full of myself after being acknowledged all of a sudden for my skills and I kinda became a defensive douchebag with a penchant for trash talking, so don't get me wrong I was really obnoxious. :lol:

Not too long after my hiatus and joining Shogunate, I fell out with them due to my idea of amusement by getting into conflicts with JackieChan from the-now-Byzantium and general shit that wouldn't surprise you. So a second time in my cRPG career, I went looking elsewhere for something more exciting and interesting and came across a well-known clan with players who had individual skill many gaps above that of the average player. They still exist today, and I think(?) I am still a member of it today, and they're called the Mercenaries or more commonly Mercs.

It was after joining them when I really started to make a name for myself, as I was the newest collection of their assortment of skilled players. The clan was rowdy, very loud and friendly. We all shared something in common in the beginning, which was the passion for skill in the game, and the ability to win. We were very competitive. It was founded by Olwen, Gnjus, Oberyn and Noctivagant (citation needed). Oberyn and Olwen were two Frenchies who were very successful on the battlefield, one excelling in cavalry combat like a true French my old friend and one favouring foot combat with skills in riding looking like a Norman knight, who later turned persona non grata a year ago and then came back but disappeared.

The other two, Gnjus who was more of a crafty fox with years of experience than a young guy with raw talent for the game and Noctivagant, a fairly notable horse archer. Both a bit more mature guys who didn't still live with their parents like some of us used to.

After joining Mercs, there weren't that many changes in my cRPG career. I become more of an asshat, had a few breaks, lost some skill, became washed out, had another break, came back and got barely beat by DieleR in a duel tournament and kinda just thought "Fuck it, why am I even trying to be the best."

In light of the history of the community, and my journey within it, I realized something today.

I realized how fucking long we have played this game, and how little I actually know about your backgrounds. If you think about it, we have spent more time typing smack to each other and killing each other with swords, arrows, lances, fists, knives, poleaxes, pikes, spears, katanas, crossbow bolts, donkeys and ponies than we have spent with some people people in our lives. Then bear in mind that we judge each other by very superficial and black and white ideals.

We've actually grown up together, no matter how corny that sounds.

Now we have our own game in development, which is looking bad ass and I wish I had a computer that could run it, and most of us are considerably older.

To tie the knot on the sack; Time changes, man. Everything is so different today.

TL;DR

Some oldmy old friend was high and wrote about his nostalgia of playing cRPG with this community.

'Sup

Yeah.
When I was just at the beginning of my c-rpg path, I joined EU3 for some practice.
- Wow, I feel like such a noob here, - I said.
- Native pro? - someone replied.
- No, - said Saracen_Bjordhinn (or something), - native pros can at least block.
I stared at my monitor in confusion...
That still hurts deep in my heart.

No, why would I? He gave me a roof over my head, fed me, and paid for internet and eletricity so I could be a nerd in the first place.

Not too bad, but UPC are cocksuckers that claim to have fastest internet in Ireland, even though you share the cable with the other tenants in the apartment.

Damn, man. Brings back memories.

Yeah, that bug haha! Remember the old global admin MICHAEL or LAST_BOSS or some shit like that? He once got that bug and was on my team when I noticed it, he was being hit over and over and over but never died. I started "team wounding" him, according to him later, basically just swinging the shit out of the guy who won't die anyway, just for fun.

Then he banned me.

Fuck.

I thought you were going to abuse us all like usual. ;D

Good read though, the thing about native community is that they think all pro and think they're some competitive gods on warband, but they really do suck even the best players and top clans. 

Good job you made the switch to C-rpg otherwise I don't think you'd of got much better.

The magic of the good old times. It was definately in the early stages of c-rpg that i had the most fun.

Even though I've played this game since beta, I still play cRPG in periods becuase it's simply the most satisfying game I've ever played. Don't think I'll ever get bored of it completely.

There are many respectable NA cunts in this community, and I would say we consider you respectable despite being on the other side of the pond. :wink:

But yeah, I haven't spent much time with you guys so the few impressions you have of me are not very good ones I have to admit.

I was often up on odd times, what with being a no-lifer and all. And often banned, yes. Some poll bans even made me go to NA_1... :lol:

I started playing pure 2H almost the moment cRPG really took off.

My brightest moment was when I was a full gothic plate tin can with the flamberge, while it still had the normal 2H animations. :lol:

Ended up with a 61-1 score at the end of the map.  :oops:

I loved the siege shield and ladder base building with huge shieldwalls on EU1. I am sad it's gone now, with ladders removed and flags spawning instantly.

But the new cRPG is still a lot of fun, and better in other areas.

I played alot of pirated Mount and Blade warband single player on easy. I didn't even know you could increase the difficulty. I thought I was good because I could defeat all those bots easily, I always told my friends how I would wreck them and any other player in multiplayer. Then one of them starts talking about a cool mod called cRPG and how we all should get it but I didn't want to because I suggested vanilla MB. I played it anyways and sucked really hard but I believed it was because I was low level. But after reaching level 26 I realized I just suck, so I quit the game and said it sucks and tried to convince everyone else to quit. This mod shrecked my dreams.

Then I dont know what happened but some time later (late 2011) we heard about Strategus and wanted to try it so we did, and we made a clan for it. Which ended up being the only reason for me to actually play the game for longer periods of time. I think the fact that we all wore the same outfits and got a clan tag and banner was the thing that hooked me.  I think Bjord and _Bjorn_ are the two persons I remember from really early on. Bjord was a douche but he was so easy to piss off which I tried really hard to do, and _Bjorn_ was always friendly and leading our team to victory on EU1, always followed him with the banner on his head.

Just having a hard time believing your "I'm a better man now". But I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt :D
One of the few 1h only players where it actually has some elegance and not just spam...

I was always an asshat with you so I guess I understand your skepticism.

Swashbuckling 4ever btw.

Bjorderino, 22nd wasn't the first cRPG server. IIRC The first (public) one was the donkey computer running a 30-40 man server.

You're right, now that I think of it..  But I didn't play a lot on that server, must've forgotten. Fixing.

Anyway, 22nd cRPG server was the biggest, like 100 ppl on some days.

CRPG through the eyes of a normal player.

I started playing M&B long time ago on a server without a warband key. Since I like history I decided to buy me a key, I wanted 1 but got sold 2 keys for warband.
Then as complete noob I played on a 22nd server. The 22nd organized battle for us... I could not get kills and the archery was to much OP. I came from Battlefield 2 to Warband and wanted melee and not a range fest . Then I saw that 22nd organized on their server crpg mod and I decided to try it. You could build your character there. Without 22nd I have maybe never tried crpg btw. So I played the mod, were Oberyn grinded all the time the same build and killed everyone. I was shielder, I could not manual block. Most of my kills I got with javs, I threw them in Gnjus feet, forced him to wear better foot armour.  I was not that pro, I just aimed at his body but hit the feet... There was a 22nd guy, he was like a boss of 22nd, he cheated as archer with wpf, I remember I complained in chat about his one shot skills of shielders, before he got caught cheating, his nick was something with 22nd_V... Then Crpg got own servers.
At that time most shielders lost versus 2h, because they spammed us to death.
I saw some troll playing, I forgot his name. He just stand around in nomad cloth and throw daggers, never used his katana. People asked him why but he never answered. I got the idea to try something new, to be a Ninja in crpg. Why be a ninja?
The way of a ninja is flanking approach, good accuse not to stay in shieldwall not to direct approach enemies. Flanking attacks I could well from my Battlefield 2 special forces time. You flank the enemies, run to archers from behind cut them fast with katana before they can fight back, profit!
The problem was Oberyn and his horse, for that I had my javs, I scared Oberyn with javs away from me. If melee guys detect me I run away and throw javs at them or if they were fast I just turned around and cut them to the head. At this point I could manual block maybe one time, crpg was in fast game speed at that time. I used as armour Saracen guard armour, I had that black hood if remeber correct. It was fun and I got kills but one-on-one i could not do much, I could not feint. I had 2 simple macros left-right attack and right-left attack. So one-onone if someone could block, I would mostly lose.
Later I got a travel back (Leather Covered Round Shield), because archery was OP in that mod and without a travel back you could not dodge every of their shots if they detect you.

While I was dead,  spectated Varyag, because I wanted to learn playing, I could not manual block so I tried to learn to get a better shielder. From Varyag I learnt that versus other shielders I need to learn to feint fast. But there was still a problem, 2h spammers. While I trained to feint with shield I found out how to fight 2h the way they cant spam me.
I remember Staffmaster Fasader, he was killing armoured people with wooden staff, crpg is a crazy mod... the staffmasters just needed to have fun.
One time a nacked girl with Miaodao (chadz nick) ambushed me while I was approaching the archers.  I was really surprised, then it was nacked..., my travel back saved me, the girl destroyed the back but I could one time manual block and since the girl was nacked I killed her with one hit.
But before that I met Thomek on the battlefield. He started to followed me copy my style, he wanted always duel me, like between two ninjas who is better. The whole point for me to be a ninja was not to duel but kill from behind, ofc. I would lose every duel to Thomek, and if you want catach archers you need to be in time at right place. So I always run away from Thomek.
Since I found out how to be a good shielder I stopped my ninja carrier and started to play as shielder. I had to train vs other shielder but vs 2h I was very good, I won most fights vs them. There were another shielders like Olwen with 3 shields and so on but I was mostly running with Slil and cmp (good shielders, cmp was always turtling forward with her shield, I didn’t understand the tactic). Then I decided to start a new char Deremilitary and roleplay as roman legion soldier. A combined my flanking tactics and skills vs 2Hs and got kd like Lamhban, but Lamhban was still better since he got his kills from front assaults. At that time Oberyn, Gnujs, Lamhban found the Mercs because they wanted play in upcoming strategus. It was nothing for me, because I didn’t like Oberyn (killed me many times as peasant, grinded 2h hours a day, used horse without match the difficulties [chadz mod is always with bugs and exploits] and Gnujs (crossbow hiding). Lamhban was a funny guy before the Mercs btw. I left crpg to go back to other games like Battlefield 2.
Later I returned back with my other key (why with other key, I reinstalled warband and crpg but just used another key because I didn’t remember which I used before), Lamhban was leading his Mercs to victories in Strategus. In crpg everyone was level 40 or so. It was crazy. But there many big battles it was nice. I found out how to compete with that high level players. If you go agi and don’t wear armour you could outmanoeuvre all that tincans, like V-Mega. My tactic was direct approach but with hit and run I used my speed and high damaging 1h grosses messer  to slaughter enemies from flanks or behind before they could catch me.
It was maybe the best time of crpg, best battles. But then they changed the armour malus. You could not outmaneuvre the tincans anymore... I left crpg for other games.

Later I come back. Fasader has stolen our looms btw, typical yugo...
I remember Phyrex, he was very fast I had problems to run away from him, he always followed me, he could block and kick well. My tactic was to avoid one-on-one if possible but he always followed me because I had no armour, no armour easy target peasant like...
I chated with Mala, we agreed to loom a grosses messer is the best way for light shielder.  I started a new char with italian falchion, buckler and throwing axes, white tunica over mail and white headcloth to role play as sailor/pirate. Btw I don’t remember when but Lahmban played as Casader with berdiche polearm to show everyone that he can manual block.
One time I met him on duel server with Bjord both in heavy armor high level... Lamhban wanted to duel me with sword but could not kill me, after he got some cuts with my Italian falchion he put out his berdiche polearm and smashed my buckler and killed me. I could run away a throw axes at him, but it was not allowed. Then I duelled Bjord I got 8 hits on him but he was not dying, he killed me with 2. I reported Lamhban to cmp, she said that they already know about Lamhban ass like behaviour. I left crpg.
Later I came back and joined 22nd strategus faction as female char with my other key. We had some good battles but strategus was shit for shielders even Urist got most kills because he had wpf in polearm too... Then I loomed something and tried to give it my other char through the market for stones in that second TurmoilTom has stolen it. I contacted the Devs but... crpg = bugs. I left crpg again. I hope TurmoilTom enjoy my loom.

I came back as Marco Polo (not templar_polo) another key, from my previous chars of one of the keys I got a loom and money (1 million), I was rich. I started to play strategus, I came to get a lord of... CRPG was boring to me but at that time you had to play in crpg with your armour and weapons to be able to produce them in strategus. Because of that I stopped playing as shielder and learnt to manaul block to be a 2h. Because in strategus most people with good KD used 2Hs. Only one polish shielder had really good kds as shielder but it was not enough for an incoming lord who needs many mercenaries. Btw. Mercs at that point sucked as mercenaries because they wanted too much money for easy battles. But I made good connection with Wataga, Str/T, Legio and some others. I was raiding caravans in strategus to get gold, I raided merc trader for example... and other Wataga merc for me. I was in TS with Ivani4 who never blocks. T and SB splitted at that time, T needed troops for their strategus ambitions but had gold. So I traded troops for gold with them. These ways I made another millions in gold. I retired and used money to get three +3 looms, Danish, black armor, wisby hand armor.
But before that I had a swordsman in my service, Latrinenkobold, a good 2h, but nobody wanted to merc for him, he lost everything in strategus. I took him in my services, he helped my friendly factions with good kd. But he had problems with authorities, I used Phyrex build as 2h 15/24 and later to get 18/24. Because for me Phyrex was best 2h in crpg, in duel I hit Latrinenkobold 3 times but could not kill him, he killed me with two hits, 15/24 isnt a good build for duels I guess. But Phyrex is just better blocker and kicker than me... I lost my swordsman.
From my contacts with Sharky I did know that Legio wanted leave strategus and wanted give away a village. Me and one german merchant agreed to take over the village, he gave me 100-200 troops, I equipped my and his troops and was moving to the village as Kapikuls took it over.
I wrote to the Kapikulu Bey to stop his illegal actions because Legio the village to me but the Sultan of Kapikulus did not hear to warnings. He could not believe that one single player would own his army, always asked me about my clan. Then I attacked him, Wataga was allied with Kapikulus and didn’t merc for me, but my mercs from STR/T, DRZ, Hospitaller (friends of german merchant) and some other smashed away the turks in my black armor, Danish, and wisbys it was a nice ownage. There was a bug in strategus, if you transfer or retire you lose the village or all your items, i don’t remember anymore. Devs could not fix their bugged strategus so I left it. Because I could not reach more and invest time in bugged mod was pointless. I rewarded my heros from the battle for the village with my sword, armour, hand armour and money, deleted the key. Btw Greys cheated with 100s of accounts at that time.

I still had another key, long time I didn’t play warband. But then I came back as female char, the great leader mao restored my looms... from all previous chars on that key, ofc. not that one that TurmoilTom has stolen. I joined The Grey faction in strategus, not crpg, because greys were alliances on 22nd in previous strategus rounds. But then I saw that I have to be their robot, I came back to rtest new strategus and not just stay in a town to give grey my troops... Lamhban recruited me for his faction, he told me that I to find together in strat than be harpags robots, so I left greys and joined his faction. At that time PTX lost everything on items in strat and stopped be active there but still had a fief. Lamhban didn’t organized anything, I was disappointed from him, because he was leader of mercs in 1st strategus, a very good player in the past (and hated because of the character), I thought he would organized our faction to make us strong, but such lazy fat ass do nothing mates like Lamhban and PTX you will hardly meet again, if you compare their skills in that strat with druzhina leaders skills. But anyways I had my village and to defend it I started recruit people from DTV (clanless players) to our faction and ofc for my village. I recruited some russian noob, she/he was good at DTV but had no skill vs human players. He hated Druzhina. I tshowed him/her how to play and trade in strategus, gave him trade routes, money. He helped me to recruit other DTV noobs. I teached them too, gave them trade routes. We recruited Grandmom, she hated UIF the most, always nerfed me with ideas how to go to war vs UIF, while on the side Lamhban and PTX didn’t do anything to prepare for a defence. Ofc. we had not a chance if UIF would attack us. I gave my russian friend money horses and trade goods to sell it and come back with money but the traitor decided to give my money to Lamhban (our general in other fief who didn’t do anything for the faction). The Russian traitor has just stolen days and weeks of work i put to organized the money (started with nothing) and people. Lamhban could defend one time his fief with my money, UIF/DRZ took my defenceless village. I saw it coming, and wanted be prepared for UIF attack, ofc I would not be able to win vs UIF in the long run, but I could contact Druzhina and STR /T for a deal, that they let my DTV Village live but for that I need to be able defend it. The Russian traitor destroyed all my plans. I thought about to join the mercs faction just to help them with troops and gold vs UIF but for that you need to sit in their TS, play with them, UIF wiped them I guess, I dunno I left crpg/strategus again.

So im more player who played crpg in periods to test it and then leave, not a big hero but on my crpg life you can see crpg bugs through the time

Btw before throwing and side sword nerf I had fun on siege server vs 2h heros like gtx (eu) or spookisland (na) with war darts and 1h no shield it was fun too.

Cheers =)

Very nice thread, i still enjoy crpg and warband but the old times with peasants wars were epic and i have a vague memory of a guy(no chance i remeber his name tho) in black armor(the good old one) and badass sword who was immediatly banned coz obviously was impossible to afford dat gears at the very beginnin of the game :D
Anyway crpg is the best heroin ever aside from heroin.

I still had another key, long time I didn’t play warband. But then I came back as female char, the great leader mao restored my looms... from all previous chars on that key, ofc. not that one that TurmoilTom has stolen. I joined The Grey faction in strategus, not crpg, because greys were alliances on 22nd in previous strategus rounds. But then I saw that I have to be their robot, I came back to rtest new strategus and not just stay in a town to give grey my troops... Lamhban recruited me for his faction, he told me that I to find together in strat than be harpags robots, so I left greys and joined his faction. At that time PTX lost everything on items in strat and stopped be active there but still had a fief. Lamhban didn’t organized anything, I was disappointed from him, because he was leader of mercs in 1st strategus, a very good player in the past (and hated because of the character), I thought he would organized our faction to make us strong, but such lazy fat ass do nothing mates like Lamhban and PTX you will hardly meet again, if you compare their skills in that strat with druzhina leaders skills. But anyways I had my village and to defend it I started recruit people from DTV (clanless players) to our faction and ofc for my village. I recruited some russian noob, she/he was good at DTV but had no skill vs human players. He hated Druzhina. I tshowed him/her how to play and trade in strategus, gave him trade routes, money. He helped me to recruit other DTV noobs. I teached them too, gave them trade routes. We recruited Grandmom, she hated UIF the most, always nerfed me with ideas how to go to war vs UIF, while on the side Lamhban and PTX didn’t do anything to prepare for a defence. Ofc. we had not a chance if UIF would attack us. I gave my russian friend money horses and trade goods to sell it and come back with money but the traitor decided to give my money to Lamhban (our general in other fief who didn’t do anything for the faction). The Russian traitor has just stolen days and weeks of work i put to organized the money (started with nothing) and people. Lamhban could defend one time his fief with my money, UIF/DRZ took my defenceless village. I saw it coming, and wanted be prepared for UIF attack, ofc I would not be able to win vs UIF in the long run, but I could contact Druzhina and STR /T for a deal, that they let my DTV Village live but for that I need to be able defend it. The Russian traitor destroyed all my plans. I thought about to join the mercs faction just to help them with troops and gold vs UIF but for that you need to sit in their TS, play with them, UIF wiped them I guess, I dunno I left crpg/strategus again.

So im more player who played crpg in periods to test it and then leave, not a big hero but on my crpg life you can see crpg bugs through the time

Btw before throwing and side sword nerf I had fun on siege server vs 2h heros like gtx (eu) or spookisland (na) with war darts and 1h no shield it was fun too.

Cheers =)

Wow, what a memory.
About that Olwen part in the end. People might not know why Olwen ended up like that. He was actually trying to mess with Mercs, we sold him a castle for troops and I knew that he didn't have enough gear for the castle. So I suggested him some of our extragear just for free so he has something to defend the castle with. We had a deal that he gives the 2nd part of troops a couple of days later but he started bragging with shit like UIF was going to help him to wipe our asses just when he asks so. I didn't like that and also the deadline for bringing us troops has passed so I just took army from my city and sent it to eliminate Olwen and his entire army. Well, he didn't even show up and lost more than 1k of tickets without a fight being afraid of facing defeat on the battlefield. After a while I gave my city to Gingerpussy and left crpg but as I know Mercs got wiped from the map by the UIF crowd later.

Sheesh nostalgia.

My best single experience in cRPG will still be this tournament:
http://forum.melee.org/events/huge-multi-clan-team-tournament-schedule-tournament-completed/

Biggest and most organised battles I've played in.

Team 1: Fallen 20, SoA 15, Bandits 10, Guards 10, Nordmen 10, Inglorious 5, GK 5

Team 2: Risen 20, Wolves 15, Acre 15, Legio 10, Bashi 10, Wolper 5

Team 3: Pillagers 20, Kapikulu 15, Templars 10, Shogunate 10, Pecores 10, VRN 5, Ninjas 5

Team 4: Teutonic 20, 22nd 15, STR 15, HRE 10, Warpigs 5, Ruconquista 5, BIA 5

Some of those battles were pretty epic. Will never tire of those mass cavalry charges.

Aaahhhh, we gave 'em some hell back than, when GK's knew how to ride their abusive horses, when SoA had a combined IQ of their members higher then the average November temperatures in Siberia, when Guards could still walk instead of limp due to bad knees & barrel-roll due to their glutton-bellies, when Northmen had Tor! instead of a dozen useless shield-throwers who couldn't hit a Hannibal's Elephant if it was stomping them and back when the Fallen actually had some spine.
