We held good relations with just about every clan nearby. We didn't pick sides during the mercs vs BRD when asked out of respect for both - and now we're getting attacked? lmao. Guess we'll pick a side next time and wipe out a faction. Screw honor and reputation right? Its always easier on the internet to ignore those.
NE wasn't a formidable foe before this mess started, we we're still building up, minding our own business, trying to re-claim what we had before the wipe.
just wanted to address these points.
1. Honestly, I think you should have picked a side, even if it was Mercs.. at least you would be doing something. It would have been possible to stay nice and neutral as well, but when you guys started mercing for both sides and some of the things I was told when speaking with NE about why they are staying out this caused a lot of offence. FCC didn't commit to this war as a "fuck you" to ATS or NE, but I would be lying if I said we weren't eager for a fight with ATS after some of the things that were said to us during our war with the Mercs.
2. That is the problem. You guys had 3 weeks to become formidable. LLJK has been fighting wars since strat came up... FCC and Mercs were fighting since strat came up... and yet FCC was able to launch effective offensives against you, and LLJK was able to spare an army to come all the way north, and Mercs are in a good enough position to hold the centre without people jumping on them. How is it that three clans that have been constantly at war are still more prepared for war than an alliance that has been doing nothing but building up? You guys should have had enough troops and gold to do serious damage to all attackers.
Sorry if you take offence at my comments, but I feel they are relevant.
