Title: Congratulations HCE!
Post by: Jona on October 12, 2015, 11:59:03 pm
Yayyyyy! You're the official winners of Strat 5! Bet it feels so good getting more and more fiefs from gear bugging and raiding than actually contributing by making fun battles for all! Not at all contradicting any of your previous posts about how you all want nothing more than some fun fights. Keep snorting that pixel crack, I hear it provides a very fleeting high.

Right, just so happens that 4 recent sieges of yours were all met with no resistance, and when the defenders showed up they found nothing more than a couple rusty armors in place of the expected peasant gear.

None deserved bans. Thankyou Dupre for liberating the wrongfully banned members of our group.

Perhaps the gear buggers didn't deserve bans as some of them were relatively new to the mod and/or strat. Ideally the one telling them all to start gear bugging would have gotten a ban in their place, if only we could find out who that was... And I wouldn't leave it up to someone who buys looms for real money to be dictating to others what is or isn't a justified ban, lol. Needless to say, I had no intention of letting the poor misguided souls stay banned. Banning them was merely a means to an end, it brought this exploit to the big boss' attention fairly quickly after all.

Unuzdaq is pretty cool for gear it seems.

Honestly, I'd say you deserve getting raided right there this time.
My raid was kinda gay, I'll admit.

But really?  "Let's just throw all of our troops into the Population because we need those goods/points or whatever the fuck they are to upgrade shit"
Meanwhile.. instead of using said troops to fight to defend or just attack Bauer again and wipe him.. you screwed yourself.. l0l

Think about it. The leaders of HCE, the true HCE, have left. The Emperor was even disgusted and left himself. There is no Empire. The 4/6 of the founding members have left the Empire. I've left. Not so Innocent Virgin has left. Blue has left. Bryggan has left. Every clan that was in it that isn't Acre has left. At this point its pretty obvious who is in the wrong. You steam roll anyone who tries to help you and deny any other plan than your own. You appoint people to positions and then over ride every decision they make. You drive people away who just want to help. Its not a mystery why everyone has left except maybe to you. At one point I really truly wanted to believe in the Holy chadzian Empire and you destroyed the dream by refusing to work with any of the other leaders. Whenever we came up with a plan, no one was shocked when Acre didn't hold up with their end of the plan. As long as they can sit in their city and farm troops. There is no We anymore. Theres just you(as in Acre).

You're even driving away you're on clan mates at this point because of the cheating. Its not hard to see who is in the wrong.

You do realize that in all reality, no one gear bugged you right?  If you claim you had rusty armor/broken gear anyways, why didn't any of you use it?  You were completely naked.

Even if we did gear bug you, which we didn't, want to know a real good way on how to make sure this doesn't happen again?  Learn to manage your fiefs lol.  Not our fault Largos doesn't know how to put some gear in a fief.  I can teach you if you want.

HCE was an empire comprised of multiple factions. All other factions besides acre have left therefore HCE is acre.

Two things about gear bugging.
1. If there are a few sets of gear you still qualify for the free peasant gear. Not sure how the numbers work but I did have a battle where I had no weapons and 5 plate armor and still received the peasant gear.
2. There really is no way to prove that anyone gear bugged or that someone masterminded the whole plan to do so.

Sorry but unlike Acre we don't just have an endless surplus of ticket makers, so managing a fief means nothing when we can't have a standing garrison. See, when we gear a fief,  you guys raid it since you know you can't actually win in a fair fight. When we don't gear a fief you guys ensure that we don't even get peasant gear, since you're also apparently afraid of even giving us that much. And why didn't we use the armor? Cuz Blackbird and I showed up, saw the gear bug, and left since we had better things to do with our time than run around wasting it in some dumb game. I then preceded to tell anyone else who was on steam and on the roster to stay away since it was a waste of time to boot up crpg just for that.

This. Don't know what Acre is doing but somehow we had zero gear in our fiefs as well when we fought them. Even rank10s would see nothing in the fief and still we didn't receive any free peasant gear to fight with. Not sure if Strat is bugged or Acre just figured out a way to abuse the system, but previously we've seen that as mcdeath said above, that even if you put a couple of plates in, fiefs receive free gear for the rest of the population.

We took them out few hours before the attack ofc when we took the gear out as well. I didn't know that trade goods count as gear, but then it's fairly obvious that the army attacking us bugged our castles because scared of 1000 angry EU peasants would easily rekking the mighty HCE.

Regardless of the arguments about gear bugging, I am sad to see the the war get "dirty" via use of raiding tactics.  Back in the olds days when Bryggan was still the Emperor,  and wars were waged with a sense of civility, raiding was strictly prohibited by both sides. Mithrim has always honored this ancient agreement and urged its allies to do so as well. It was a necessary once, when relatively few players held many fiefs and garrisoning each one was nigh impossible. It seems though, that HCE has forgotten that they too once were in this situation, and also benefited from the ban on raiding. Not only that, now they brag about their actions. This will be considered as Mithrim weighs its future relations with HCE.

They basically said: We raid or we get good battle times(Or we attack and make battles shit for everyone we can)

Happy that raiding is back. Teach people to manage lands and faction correctly. Keep on raiding.

What are you on about? EUs have raided zero times, even though it's standard practice on our side of the map and imo a perfectly viable strategy.

All this hypocrisy is ridiculous. Acre couldn't control their fiefs so they convinced everyone not to raid them. Now that they no longer have any fiefs they are happy to start raiding again. It's the same as it was with their anti-euro lobbying. Mid 2014 they were more than happy to welcome us to fight with them on NA and had been trading with us since the beginning of this Strat. Now when we attacked them instead it was another story.

Call it roleplay or whatever, but I can not respect people that do or say whatever gives them the advantage.

My battle was taking my gear back after the servers bugged and I lost my siege, same with Allram's battle (except that they reinforced, ninja rostered as we knew they would, but got no support from anyone on NA because raid). The Turks battle I think was a mistake which is why they changed to a raid, but I'm not sure. The Eques battle was prolly changed to raid because it's fucking 5-6AM otherwise for us... I'd guess they put any received gear back in to the fief though.

We have not used raiding as a tactic - not once. We were told we'd lose our NA roster support if we did.

At the time the "no raiding" issue was brought up there were a lot of factions who had more land than they could manage properly. it has nothing to do with managing a fief "correctly". Not raiding simply made it easier to have real battles and not make it a game of cat and mouse trying to raid castle and take castle you couldn't hold in the first place. Kinda like playing in a waste land.

Again, this was due to there being an all-time low player base and many factions going AFK all at once. Perhaps things are changing and there are enough people to warrant bringing raiding back as a viable tactic. But that's a discussion that can certainly be had. Breaking said ban suddenly when it is of benefit is a different story.

Also what Mr. K says is true. I know Mithrim at least told blackbird that if they raided they wouldn't get our support.


Actually, if anything, blame EU for raids.

They basically said: We raid or we get good battle times(Or we attack and make battles shit for everyone we can)

Happy that raiding is back. Teach people to manage lands and faction correctly. Keep on raiding.

All started by EU, after nearly 2 months of no Raid NA side.

funny. all those battles u listed were fail attacks. In ahmerrad we fucking gave the gear back we got. The turk battles was a fail enter of a village. The kalmar one was after the server was frozen. They simply wanted they gear back, hce ghost rostered them and ran away with the gear. So fucking ridiculous what u wrote there.

Oh and our 3 sieges of Bardaq castle? Which could have been easily just one? Like, those were the first attacks u tard.

You quit harder than bonesaw mass DoWing Everyone in strat 4. I could easily search the post that I just did about 1 week ago detailing how you threatened RAIDS or else give better battle times. So, yes, you started it, because "NA wouldn't bend over for me!!! WAH!!"

Seems like a viable tactic, but as a casual strat player I didn't know about the raiding ban.  Probably should be discussed as a viable option between the warring party leaders (or just assume it's back on the table if it can't be discussed).

Back in the day I had considered bringing raiding back.  I thought it would bring more field battles as one army could guard several fiefs at once.  Just keep the fief empty so you could ignore the raid, then rush over and reinforce when it was besieged.  But that gave the faction with more members the advantage.  We had plenty of small armies doing double duty of short trading and patrolling, so we were guaranteed to be able to reinforce.  I brought it up with WotN, but they agreed it would not be a lot of fun.

I do find it odd that Acre raided.  They seem to be having some management issues.  Froi attacked Dirk claiming he had permission, but none of the Acre leaders seemed to have known about it.  Were these raids done without permission too?

But it seems this HoC/Acre war has kinda degraded.  Since everyone seems to want to screw each other over, I suggest you make such tactics as gear bugging, poll banns, and raiding part of the game.  This will save you having to waste time building armies.  Just make sure you have more people show up on your roster, then poll ban.  People will start looking at the reliability numbers rather than the performance.  Get a reliable roster and you could conquer the maps in months with just a few naked armies.

Well. The thing was: When we do not raid, we have to be there at the battle. If we would raid, we could just let our mercs conquer the empty castle. So, well. It was uppon Acre. They took the right decission. With raiding we could have safed like 5 armies.

Are you saying that without you being personally there, your NA mercs could not win a siege?  Oh, Black Bird, when will you learn?

You need someone to lead the battle and accept the mercs, which is quite hard to do if you don't have a na guy in your faction to do it :)

TBH
I'm pretty fair and reliable judge. Lets do this the old fashioned way. Answer my questions publicly (particularly the last one) and lets get this all cleared up. I believe the people in question are Largos and Bauer, but I am only privy to what I can read.

1) Was the owner of the fief in the fief? (Y/N?)

2) Dependent on 1, did the owner verify peasant gear before battle started(or gear at all?)

3) When was the last time the fief was managed?

4) At Previous instance of management, what gear was in there?

5) Acre player: Please post the post game battle log that you have received from both the raid, and the subsequent "gearless" battle.

I might have more later, but this should start "handling" the affair, publicly, and hopefully fairly.

Just cuz u don't give fucks about commanding does not mean I'm not allowed.

I haven't been playing much lately but in a few of the battles I have played, where Acre has been defending ungeared villages, we have not received peasant gear either.  Something chadz has done with strat has bugged the free peasant gear.

I'm still pretty pissed off that acre cheated at strat and that ended up with Jona trying to blanket ban them all which then lead to acre raiding and also had someone look into strat trying to fix it and of course when the devs try to fix anything it ends up with whatever was being fixed breaking.

Although strat turned to shit after strat 4 it was still something extra to do that afaik isn't done in other games.

Fix strat, acre fault, bring back NA menace Kesh to get good fun battles

Acre never broke any rules. Jona abused his admin on a ban rampage because he was mad. chadz looked into it and you can thank Jona for strategus being broken.

Decent troll material McDeath but I think you can do better.
