General Discussion / Re: remove nomad from defend the virgin

Replace it with a militia wave, with 20-30 ish armor and crude weapons/tools such as clubs, hammers, simple swords, axes and so on. Nomad wave is simply cancer on 2nd and 3rd wave simply because of that one bot you're chasing for 10 mins.

Definitely a good idea, especially for people like me who still have their mains at level 33, or who have yet to level their alt to such level. That'd put an emphasis on PVP being the dominant way to make money and get XP, DTV can only be so fun after the 99th time you played sea raid.

hey here's something to read about it if you're into that sort of a thing.

Hasn't been updated for like 6 days, unless I'm missing something. That one is more up to date, and points that it's not over, even if the Lira went back up for some time now.

And that might be enough for it to go to shit all over again.

Now, after a 8.7% fall within a weekend if I read it correctly, it's quite clear that Turkey is fucked. The real question is how much, as well as how widespread are the repercussions for the EU banks.

Does anyone still play this game btw

NA does play a lot, like it manages to have 50vs50 strat battles. EU's pop is getting slowly back up, less than NA, but you can sometimes get a fight between 20/30 people on EU1, and often a 30/40+ on strat. More big clans need to come back though.

Thanks San for telling me to get a shield in 2018. Jokes aside, the headshot nerf is much needed. Getting 1 shotted in the first minute is a guarenteed "I aint got time for this shit" moment for me

Haven't tried the patch yet but appreciate the efforts

I don't know if the headshot nerf was in effect, but I tried the following a couple of days ago in a strat siege :

- target was 65hp, no helmet, 15m
- I had a short bow (+0) as well as regular arrows (+5c)

The target survived, and needed two more arrows in his 25 ish body armor. Please tell me how, and more importantly, why a nerf on headshots ? It won't affect STR-based archers much, since they are not precise enough for constant, chain headshots, and mostly aim for the body, but it'll be a straight damage nerf for the builds (and bows) who need to score headshots to be effective. That's a bit counter-productive, isn't it ?

Basically, Erdogan, the leader of turkey, recently got a lot of new powers that allow him to do pretty much anything he wants. He purged all the public sector + army from the secular/left-wing/pro-kurd opposition, and recently named his son in law (I think) as finance minister. He stands for an Islamist Turkey in short, and it comes back to bite him in the ass. Investors are pulling out, and so here we are, perhaps witnessing the fall of the first domino that will provoke a crash when you also take in account global growth has been slowing down, and the US trade war that just begun.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/10/turkeys-economic-crisis-deepens-as-trump-doubles-tariffs

Turkish Lira plunged 20% or so as Trump hit an already weak Turkey with massive steel and aluminum tarrifs. Inflation is over 15% to add to the bad news. It is also to note that several of the Turkish banks have a lot of their shares owned by European ones, so what follows might be quite interesting to watch.

Stay safe turkish dudes, stockpile food and medicine as soon as possible, and if it was your intention, try to get yourself ready to leave.

Alright, I added the discount values to the main post. I also need to say that I probably won't be playing for like a week or two, but I'll keep overseeing things even while I'm away.

Diplomacy / Dhirim once more flies the Black Banner
« on: August 08, 2018, 12:41:21 am »
After the AI lord got expelled from that city for his ineffective management of the land after minimal losses on both sides, the Apostates finally got a home and a base of operation; with plenty of troops and equipment to defend the city against any army (even the ones rolling with high-end gear). What happens afterwards will depend on the tides of EU diplomacy, although the Apostates wish to remain neutral in the first place, that is at least until we acquire more soldiers, coin, and equipment.

About the city itself, as its new lord, I decided to turn Dhirim into a trading outpost, sporting some of the best gear available anywhere on the EU side (with sizeable discounts), low good prices (5 coins); all with a low tax of 10%. The gear itself is mostly mercenary-like gear (beside the gothic plates), and will provide good protection for your buck should you desire to head through.

As of 08/08/18, the following +3 gear can be found :

I'd also like to thank anyone who helped us during the battle, your help was extremely appreciated. Know that you're welcome to do business in Dhirim anytime. If you have any suggestion of weapon you would like to be able to purchase, just ask away, and if it fits with the theme I chose, I'll make sure to upgrade it later down the line.

Why the nerf on headshots though ? Besides, what's that other headshot thing mentioned ?
