5 am fight without a bunch of Russians to fight for us like in your 5 am battles and half your team just ranged kiting all the way back to unreachable spawn (all our villages seem to have unreachable spawns for attackers and all of yours have reachable spawns), so yeh our superior melee to your greater numbers of ranged wasnt so bad to get .9.
Also, you never have to pay these amounts out because you always offer large sums of gold CONDITIONALLY upon winning battles you are almost certain to lose. I think if you were just honest and upfront and offered every NA person who fights for you 50K gold pre-battle you would get a lot more support, instead of a lame sales pitch that allows you to avoid paying out.
You are suppsoedly a clan role-playing mercs, you should know better how mercenary agreements work.
