The Cavalieres' Strategus Endeavours

(click to show/hide)

A long time in a land far far away, Flawless and Huey Newton met up on the 120 battle server. We created the 1st Lancer Brigade who eventually became the Cavaliers and later CavalierEs. For a few weeks in august and september he and I were the only two in the clan. Eventually we got a slow trickle of recruits though it took time (Most new players went to the bigger already established clans). Eventually we had a grand total of FOUR members. Around this time we came into contact with "Those Grubby Serfs". After some talks we merged with them. For a few days it was nice owning land, however our time of joy was short lived. Not even a week after we had merged, DRZ/Searaiders/DenBitre launched a massive assault on us and RRC. It was this time also, that I came into my first encounter with the Templars who we were allied with. Templar_Farrix, Master_Phoenix of the Serfs and I did most of the work as far as gathering troops, gold and items for our army. Unfortunately we were out-matched by the very well geared and skilled searaiders. Fighting with EU ping didn't help either. For a few days we spent hour after hour desperately trying to form a plan to drive them out of the lands before we lost all of our villages, but to no avail. On October 13th 2010 we lost the war to them. It was around this time that Kalam of the Bridgeburners contacted us about possibly forming a coaliton of independent factions. Essentially a bunch of small clans acting as one large group to get more done. Flawless and I thought on it, and decided it was a good idea. Thus, the Free Companies of Calradia were born. The Cavaliers, Bridgeburners and Roaming Ranger Company came together as one. Although RRC disappeared shortly after. For a few weeks, we sat back and watched Calradia descend into darkness and treachery. One after the other, clans from all corners of the land allied with DRZ were crushed.

Soon after, Pub crawl arose, and IRC was having a land giveaway in the sarranid desert. We decided to go straight for it. We had out eyes on Iqbayl and Fishara. We also contacted a certain someone about having Bariyye (a city), but apparently were not worth it because of our size. Instead, LLJK got it. We attacked Bariyye anyways. We took it with the help of the very people who crushed the Cavalieres and grubby serfs in the beginning. DRZ and Str sent alot of good mercs to fight for us and for that we are eternally grateful. We also had to fight alot of the people we had become good acquaintances with (RS and ATS). Well, what happened next was, we took on a clan of 150+ members, with maybe 11 between BRD and Cavalieres. They attacked us back and we took them with a better ratio than 1 for 1. However we had less troops due to our smaller infrastructure. After this experiment we headed back to D'Haren land and began recruiting once more. Shortly after chadz froze Strategus.
However its mythos lives on.

Hah I rememebr Farrix, we were good buddies in templar, but after Templars got rolled, him and the rest of Na Templars disappeared

Farrix moved house, said his internet there would be shitty but that he'd pop back on and keep up to date with us, never heard from him again.

Quick history from Order of the Rose/Kingdom of Regalis perspective (BEWARE: my opinion lurks in there!):

We were trying to establish our claims while the templars were doing this crusade thingy, because we only had very few members at the initial beta. When we were about halfway there, when some guy took gisim and claimed all our lands and claims. We hepled the grey to capture gisim for them, and became ~allies.
Shortly after Rosewood quitted due to RL issues.
Then DRZ came when we were gathering forces to go for Suno, the capital, and said:
"You can choose 1 village and hold it, and give all your lands to us including the current garrisons, to have peace. Or have war." or something alike.
With these unacceptable conditions we decided to fight them, to be jumped by DRZ, Strangers, 22nd, GREY ORDER (this really was very dissapointing to me  ), and legio a little bit aswell, but not sure.


And then Anders quitted, and the clan started to fade away, with our new leader having internet problems, me quitting cRPG due to outrageous upkeep stuff, and some other stuff.

Is Strategus still down ? Because i see battles.

[Roran Hawkins]

[Digglez]

I cant find it anywhere and noones ever said why strat even came down in the first place? anyone?

[Gheritarish le Loki]

who cares?

[Digglez]

who cares?

people interested in the mod, game developers, mod enthusists, inquiring minds, the fbi, wikileaks

[PhantomZero]

I think original plan was it was taken down so Strategus 2 could come up a month or two later.

[Bjarky]
