NA (Official) / Re: Ban Vangard_Kjetil and RexArmadillo
« on: July 08, 2014, 04:15:04 pm »
I was there, speaking with them and demanding that they stop. Both cost us dozens of tickets and hundreds of gold in gear. Warnings were made in plain, simple English and both responded understanding - but still persisted.
Kjetil eventually complied, RexArmadillo left after several minutes.

Diplomacy / Re: Wars and Alliances NA - STRATEGUS 5 (W.I.P)
« on: March 24, 2014, 10:27:03 pm »I don't want this to be mistaken. Astralis will be aggressive to all those we've been fighting for so long as Frisia is still in the fight. We will not allow them to stand alone
Same for us, we consider that war against Astralis to be ongoing. Negotiations for us to end this and move on may be ongoing at this point (I really have no idea) but they haven't happened yet.
I don't think Squids consider Astralis an enemy though, just Frisia. Might want to check.
Also, no GFORCE on there... and did they merge entirely with LCO or not? The map isn't clear.
Good work Artyem! Thanks

Strategus General Discussion / Re: Epic fail to small clans
« on: March 14, 2014, 05:18:28 pm »
Limiting the clan size would never work for all the good (and some bad) reasons mentioned before.
Having clans join one of the "Kingdoms" - think Swadia, Vaegir, and Saracen - having official meta-clans, would probably be a better way. You can ONLY sign up for battles with your kingdom OR for either of the opposing kingdoms when they fight. In other words, never against your own Kingdom.
And factions could only accept clans or characters so long as it didn't push them beyond 20% the size of the smallest ingdom. OR impose an incentive for joining smaller Kingdoms, such as a significant XP bonus for joining and fighting for the underdog kingdom in both cRPG and Strategus (active so long as you participate in Strategus battles to ensure actual play).
This gives new players and lone wolves some safe haven, automatic allies.
Rules for in-fighting might even be put in place - as is historically accurate and fun. Can only be done with sufficiently high renown for example.
I could go on an on fleshing the nuances of how this would work, avoiding loopholes, etc. but ahhh well.

Oh, that makes sense. HoC is only a few guys. Eisnar, Ermax, Jona, and I think BoneSaw? I consider them part of WoM - I think they do, too.

Meh. If your own "ally" kills your traders (note: plural) and steals your goods, yea. We're not going to put up with that shit.
Which makes us the worst. So worst.
Isn't that like, some mafia code somewhere? I don't speak your hip hop gangster jive.

Diplomacy / Re: WoM/Astralis War - The Grandmaster's Narrow Escape from the Astralis Barbarians
« on: March 14, 2014, 02:05:43 am »Astralis was pretty fucking convinced we'd go after them for taking Fenada after we failed an attempt to. We were considering it pretty heavily as well.
Hahaha, that's what Black Company was thinking. We were waiting to see what the fuck this was all about. Saw it as a possible but unlikely outcome.
BC play a somewhat predictable game - ruthless self-interest (however we decide to interpret this, which is less predictable). Hence when KUTT was being a turd ally last Strat we fucked them over to recoup losses. We tried applying our decision making logic, but then remembered it's fucking Frisia and there's no goddamn way to know what the hell you're going to do.
Would have been nice to look elsewhere (and train up the 5-6 new players without close, constant danger) after we'd finished up beating Astralis, but ah well. I'm having a hell of a good time.
Also, who was the third faction?

« on: March 14, 2014, 01:59:09 am »SO if anything, you're "WOE IS ME WE ARE SMALLER" shit is bull.
Raise the temperature of the conversation for yourself if of you'd like, Anders. I'm surely not whining nor whimpering. We've killed a hell of a lot more of you. I, and the rest of us, intend to continue doing that.
Plus, isn't the "WOE IS ME WE ARE SMALLER" precisely what you're doing by pointing out your sluggishness and/or inadequacy in putting up a better fight? If not, what exactly was the point of mentioning it? To quoque, I suppose.
Why not post your log since then hm? You've Soundly lost 2 major battles.
You even lost one in which you had EVERY advantage:
http://c-rpg.net/?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattleroster&id=533
Better armor, more mercs...
Gear wasn't much better, certainly not significantly. We did splurge on a handful of Short Mil Scythes and Fauchards, maybe 5 per fight to get an small, quick advantage just in case. The fight you posted was 1:1. Regardless, gear advantage would be part of more efficient and effective trading.
As for the mercenary disparity, I already covered that. 30:45 in one, 45:30 in another.
(The one he didn't link and, again, went 1:1... for the record: http://c-rpg.net/?page=strategusbattlesarchive#!?page=strategusinfobattleroster&id=510)
And if ANYTHING, you started the war by Attacking Ambean and saying YOU claimed it. Get out of here with this shit.
In other news, WoM are cool. I still chat w/ them cause they are awesome(LOTR fanboy here).

Last Edit: Feb. 18
And your leadership was aware of this.
You're right, WoM is cool. Astralis is, for the most part, cool. We've had good talks. That's why I called out a chump put down for what it is. I wouldn't bother if it was someone that I didn't respect enough to call out - why bother?
tl;dr
Stop trying so hard for sympathy and accusing me of doing the same. That was never what this was about, stop dragging it there.

« on: March 14, 2014, 12:18:37 am »Oh my word a wild luk appeared. Go easy on the infamy black company and co, wild luks are very easily scared off the forums.
Easily scared is about right. Has a few bad (read: terrible) fights after a war he started, calls Papa Sandy to try and save his ass.
FWIW, it's a 29 player Astralis faction v. 15* in Black Company and 18 in WoM. Now the 18 player Frisia hops in, and the two major brawls we've had since have been basically 1:1 (despite merc support disparities for both sides, even).
I'm generally disinclined to shit talking on the forums, but I don't take kindly to chump swings at the WoM when the numbers say you can't back it up after our good and honest fights.

Dafuq is this about anyways? That LCO isn't fighting anyone indicates a tacit alliance with FDLGB and Chaos?
Battle archive shows no wars and what looks like one fief transfer to FDLGB.
The whole, working in EU and coming back with (presumably) Druzhina shit was lame, but that's last strat and water under the bridge.
I'm so confused. Dafuq is all this yelling about.

« on: March 11, 2014, 07:25:19 am »
It's a meaningless "score", of sorts. Nothing you can access and spend.
There were talks about making it more meaningful when it was introduced, like Renown, but nothing ever came through.

Strategus General Discussion / Re: Strat Battle Exp
« on: March 11, 2014, 07:21:50 am »How much is a normal amount of silver for a lvl 30 merc?
Normally zero. Most people who hire ignore this unless a note to be paid is in your application. It's not a very productive way to make money, frankly, even if you do get paid 20-50 silver. Going back and sending silver out is usually more of a hassle than it's worth.
If you want to be a "merc" in Strat, building up an army with soldiers and gear (earned by trading) and then offering THAT is really the way to go about it. Not fighting in battles and getting paid.
Or, you can merc for cRPG gold. But that's not especially common either.
