This Saturday night 2 large sieges on Legionaries strongholds:

- 1st wave: New Ichamur with 2500 troop shinny army. (forward base will be built on front wall and defenders will not break), (Defenders will let Attackers cap flags with 5mins to go)

- 2nd wave: New Sungetche Castle with 1000 troop shinny army. (catapults will not be attacked by defenders)

- You must apply both sides and we will do our best to balance out the teams and keep clan members together, attackers will be given more players. Feel free to write in your application weather you would rather be attacker or defender and we will try to get you there.

- Attackers will try to cap enemy flags if possible but defenders will not touch the attackers flags.

Prizes up for grabs:

Champion will be decided as follows:

Most kills from both battles combined, kills from attackers receive 20% bonus.

- Choice of +3 item awarded to player deemed champion of both sieges combined.( Lordly Black Gauntlets, Masterpiece Plate Covered Round Shield, Lordly Horned Great Helmet, Lordly Gothic Plate)

- 2nd place 100k

- 3rd 50k

- 4th 30k

Sounds like a bunch of fun. The Starks will agree to no attacking on Saturday if the Wardens will(not like I have an army anymore anyways...)

Well, for their battles to be Saturday night we cannot attack today (24 hour delay). I'm sure you knew what he asked, but just clarifying it in case. I will tell my guys not to attack anything, in case they were planning to.

This will be different as the attackers will not have to deal with the front wall, it will become a fight in the streets all map.

I am glad you guys are doing this!

I signed for both sides. I don't mind attacking or defending.

Seems like two interesting battles. I'm going to show up for sure.
I would prefer to be on the attacking side, but I don't mind either way.

Will balance the rosters in an hour or so, there is around 30 signed at this stage I just don't want to have to go switching people around here and there to much. TS will be ts5.gameservers.com:9318

At this stage Starks are asking for defenders and Wardens for attackers as majorities, both of these will be granted as a base.

Well it was a great show up for the Ichamur battle and great fun for all involved im certain. Unfortunately the castle battle ended up being pretty lame for the attackers, sorry.

Anyhow I am flat out right at the moment but will work out all the prizes and post them this week. Thanks for everyone who participated.

"Ah fair enough, makes sense I guess. Good work Acre noobs for keep spawning. Yes I admit it was an oversight of mine but thanks to Acre for going against battle rules there goes 8k worth of troops that where to be used for xp battles and now there will be no more."
Quote from Dutchy.

What does spawning in have to do with not capturing the flag? that is retarded. and it does not say you can't spawn in according to the rules, it states to let attackers put all flags down in the last five min. did they put the flags down? because if they did people could not spawn in. so stop blaming every thing on acre, any time something does not go there way people always blame Acre, and from what i am seeing is that its just like propaganda. I am sure acre might have done things that i am not aware of but to blame acre because you lost all your men is not acres fault, again how does spawning in prevent you from putting down flags?

Actually, I can see how it would stop them.  Think about it for a minute.  Did the person spawn in, and rejoin the fight, or did they run away?  If the person spawned in and rejoined the fight, then it would have stopped attackers from getting flags down. They would have had to stop and defend themselves.  Maybe they died going for the flag... maybe that person who spawned in ran off and put more flags up.  All you need is one flag in a remote area up, and to not get put back down before that last remaining defender got knocked down....  I'm not an Acre basher mind you.  But I can definitely see the point that if the commander said stop spawning, you should have stopped spawning.  Period. 

That's the real problem with experience battles.  It's extremely hard for the commanders/organizers to get people to abide by the rules/commands.

We had nothing to do with dutchys failed battle and in fact provided a good portion of the roster! We left when he asked us to and fought when he asked us to.

Not pointing the finger at Acre in particular here, but the defenders in general continued to spawn, and some continued to kill attackers (as they were trying to cap flags). If the attackers had the last 10, even only 5 minutes to cap flags, free of opposition, then there would have been no problem. But all it took was a select few defenders (Miley in particular kept killing and putting flags up until well into overtime) to ruin it all for us. My thanks go out to those defenders who did follow orders, since you no doubt had a miserable time sitting and watching the last few attackers trying to kill off/poll kick all the defenders. I think what may have contributed to the massive disobedience is simply almost no one was in TS, and those of us that were just so happened to be on the attackers side, it seemed. If there is a next time, I think that TS should be made mandatory, and in everyone's application they need to post something along the lines of "I read and understood the rules posted in your forum post, and promise to follow them" or something similar so you know who is willing to abide by them and who isn't.

At least the Ichamur siege was still a really fun battle, disregarding the final few minutes, so thanks for hosting it. Hopefully you'll have more tickets to do something similar again soon. And if anyone not involved in strat is reading this, go to the steppe and start making troops for these guys!

Yeah I don't see why everyone is bitching at Acre. I was at both fights and they weren't even doing anything bad. Tbh I was doing everything "bad" with them, and was being as "bad" if not worse. I refused to quit on the Ichamur siege because I aint no pussy bitch but I didn't put up any flags. I don't get why everyone is bitching Acre out when they weren't the only ones doing this shit at the fights, there was me and at least 3-5 other people doing it as well not in Acre at all. And to be honest Acre made the second castle siege fun whereas it would've been boring as crap(oh yay, Defenders get to sit there and watch as attackers get to negate all the bonuses for being on defense so its more fun for them!). That keep shit was the most fun thing I've done in awhile in cRPG so thanks for that Dutchy.

It was any thing but a failed battle, yes I take a lot of responsibility for losing 8k troops, but the fact is if everyone stopped spawning at the 10min mark like requested then those troops would still be alive. I was going to run XP battles every weekend with them but no biggy it just means I don't need to spend any time organizing anything for a while. That battle was really fun for everyone, it was a real street fight and a total success battle wise. On the plus side the lost troops must of had a lot to do with me scoring 13million renown for the battle and given me an uncatchable lead on the hero board.  8-)

P.S. Like Jona said anyone not doing anything in strat come to Ichamur and help pump out the troops for some more XP battles.

YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!!! YOU TRY BE NICE AND GET THINGS GOING, BUT SOME AMBITIOUS FUCK(S) WILL SCREW YOU OVER!!!

That being said, I appreciate you wasting men and material to amuse the masses.  Nice try, sez I.  But seriously.  Imagine if you used them thar troops for serious battles... against enemies you do not hate.  As in there was a point to the fighting.  Not to win, but to try winning.  I think at this time people are more interested in fighting good battles than they are in winning battles.  But you take away the suspense of winning or losing, you take away a lot of the fun.

But I believe the average mindset of the average player is to try win, or die gloriously.  XP battles are like NA1, but where nobody cares.  There is no multiplyer, no gold, and the xp is the same whether you fight like a bastard or just trollololol.

So, I invite you to attack active clans in their active fiefs.  The Wardens and I did it, and it was awesome.  We never attacked non-Afk villages, and most of the time it was field battles.  Which were awesome!! Except for the odd gank or two, the C-Rpg community kept the battles great.  And I tell you, it felt damn good to fight an enemy that wanted to win, and to fight them like the fuckin bastards we are, and to be finally pushed into a falg cap.  It was great.  First time in strat history that the losers TS was chock full of hype, enthusiasm and grand recounting of the awesome bits.  Long gone were the bitching, blaming, and immediate disconnecting after a battle.

It was awesome.

So, my advice- become enemies with your friends and friends with your enemies, talk to them, let them know (a little bit) what you are doing, don't attack their villages until you take out the castle/town (unless they are AFK fiefs).  At this point in time rosters tend to balance, cuz noone cares about strat or who owns what.  Everyone just wants good battles- win or lose*.

*I noticed whenever we got ganked by the Wardens, the next battle we would gank them.  And then, the battle after that, it would be even.  Which makes me think most of the C-Rpg strat playing people seek balance.
