Tickets and slots for players

[Warham]

Situation. First army have 1000 tickets and good equip, but only 10 real players. Second army have 100 tickets and bad equip, but 20 real players. Second army will win this fight without any chance, they just drop flags. Is this situation normal? Сount of real players make victory, not count of tickets and equip level? If so, there is a big disbalance between big alianses and single players or small factions. Cause it's very hard to make full roster if you haven't many allies.
And there are many battles, which should be interesting and stubborn, but ends in 5 minutes, cause disbalance between teams in players count.

...ough, I have seen plenty of battles where naked 1000's of people will get smashed by a couple of tincans.

This is a big problem in this game :/ I think 70% of the fights ive taken part in strategus have been uneven, either the ones im mercing or the ones against us have +50% the players wich makes the fights boring and lame... Anonymous mercing, mayby having highlighted messages at siege and battle servers 10 mins before battles and an easy way to apply from server to merc either side, or something that makes it more appealing for ppl to merc for battles, like more exp, mayby even crpg gold from them?

Good idea, cause always, even in early moring or deep night, there are about 10-20 players as minimum in regular game modes. And NA players there in uncomfortable eu time.

I have to say, Remember Tebandra. Where 8 heavily plated armored knight were pushed back by 50 peasants.
