Will you pay attention to "Ancestral Territorial Claims" for new Strategus?

Who's the 10%?

Legio, Bashi-Bazouks, and the split clans like Risen and Fallen.

You know, the EU clans that actually did anything ever during this iteration. The ones who actually fought battles and didn't just take up space while they plotted like some brain damaged Rodrigo Borgia.

xD We are split clan already? Our might NA battalion of 3 must have really impressed you guys xD

Thanks anyway. We really WERE one of the few EU who actually managed to DO anything. I would also add Mercs to that list, btw. They did great.

Merc and DRZ archers stood out from my experience.

I've got nothing against the players themselves, nor am I begrudging their skills. I actually quite liked the DRZ guys and a lot of other EU players. It's just the environment the EU clans have created for themselves that's just toxic.

More than a third of the Strat map is dominated by clans that refuse to fight internet horsies in a game about fighting internet horsies. That's a giant fucking problem.

The intense fighting is awesome, it makes you fucking stream adrenaline when the end result is 24 vs 0 when both started with high number.

I hated the thought of NE but just because I was in Eastern Tsardom doesn't mean I agreed with it. I think all alliances that big like NE and UIF are carebear nutcuppers.

It's funny, because the NE was supposedly designed to thwart the possibility of any giant EU alliance invading and dominating most of the NA population. They must've borrowed their business model from the people they set out to work in counter to - but ended up being passive against them anyway.

...I would also add Mercs to that list, btw. They did great.

Yes, and the Mercs may have had support from elsewhere, but they still operated in relative independence. While I don't (didn't) enjoy the bullshit discussion surrounding that conflict, it had some impressive displays presented by both sides.


Back on topic: War is fun, peace is not. Being comfortable and having to deal with less stress might be easier, but it removes the entire reason the system of strategus was set up - to play dog gone Mountain Glade Moribund. On the other hand, I see no reason a grudge should be held against anyone, and by the same token, a claim on a territory (basically an excuse to form a grudge against people). How often is it real and viable to call dibs on something and get away with it? Anyway, let's get some new conflicts started!

Personally, I have no relations to carry over, but knowledge of who to trust and with what is trustworthy is eternal.

Where did I say it needed to be NE? or any of that at all? I hated the thought of NE but just because I was in Eastern Tsardom doesn't mean I agreed with it.

Dont remember the Eastern Tsardom being apart of any NE cuz that 6000 man army seemed to disappear but of course I dont know anything bout it, they might have used it valiantly somewhere.

Spaniard Agrees with Canary bout war is fun besides peace just gets you screwed over later so be in a war

Who's the 10%?

The BashiBazouk rock.

The BashiBazouk rock.

I don't think it can be said enough how much we enjoyed working with the Bashi-Bazouk/Risen/Legio guys. They seem to be like, the only European clans that realized Strategus is supposed to be about battles, not making giant alliances or ultra-nationalist roleplay, or doing absolutely nothing while waiting for THE PERFECT MOMENT TO STRIKE.

Of course, their willingness to work with NA clans and their refusal to sit around on their asses plotting schemes that will never happen will probably get them killed next Strategus by whatever super duper giant alliance claims the entirety of the EU side.

Do you seriously not even realize those three clans were part of the super-alliance you claim to hate so much?

[Slantedfloors]

Do you seriously not even realize those three clans were part of the super-alliance you claim to hate so much?

I'm quite aware. I'm also quite aware that their alliance-mates did absolutely nothing over the course of Strat, as opposed to them.

You know what the means? That alliance was functionally useless. They weren't.

[okiN]

And what did those three clans do? They helped you with a quick gankfest against a weakened enemy. Big whoop.

After they finished that, the only thing they did was prepare to gank Guards and Fallen.
