We started Strategus with 15 members . It was our first strategus experience.We formed an alliance with Risen and Legio and we settled down on Dirigsene and Dumar . By the time our clan gets bigger and bigger...
We asked WARPIGS to fight with us on Strategus and gladly they did.We had 40 BashiBazouks and more than 10 WARPIGS on our Strategus faction on later period of Strategus.Our recruitment was closed when we left Kapikulu and formed this clan .When strategus released, we understood that we need more numbers , we opened recruitment and in a little time we recruited a lot .We started strategus as a small and weak faction , we finished as a strong one.worked hard on both diplomacy and battle tactics.We started as a 3 way alliance some called it YMCA(Young Men's Calradian Alliance) some called it Trident Alliance or United Jihad . Our friendship with Legio and Risen based on early period of our clan . During that time we were managing friendly clan battles to see how other clans play . It was good training for us and our competitor also by that we strated to getting know of each other...
We wanted to play with Legio and Risen on new Strategus and we told it to them, gladly they accepted and we announced our alliance.I think they didn't expect that we could do so much on Strategus because when we announced our alliance we had only 15 members who don't know anything about Strategus.That turned out to be wrong in future with our massive recruitment campaign we became a powerful ally.On our first attack to Shogunates and Pillagers we were late at sending our army to border.Legio and Risen attacked Shogunates but our army just arrived to border and when we did,we decided to lock down Hardsteppa's army of 2k before they reinforce the village that Risen attack.Weird but the only playable battle was ours against Hardsteppa which was 650 vs 2.000.Legios had spawn bug issue and they lost all their equipment to Pillagers due to that.Battle lasted for few minutes only,they capped attackers spawn.Risen were hacked and their roster erased, they lost all their equipment also then we decided not to attack with our main army before those bugs cleared out.We started to play defensive and protect our border . When chadz released fix to spawn bugs we started our new campaign and things went better.This time we attacked with 11k troops at the right time and killed 6.5k on Ruldi.With remaining troops and reinforce of Risen,Legio and LLJK we attacked Chelez with 10k defenders were around 6k again.We took it also.Risen took Buvran on a thriller battle which was like 16-0 ticket at the last.Legios had trouble on Pillagers lands,they fought hard but spawns and hills on Pillager lands had huge handicaps for attackers.They killed many defenders on Emer .They attacked emer twice, both of them were bloody battles.After Legios attacks,Union came and started to finish off those scattered villages.LLJK attacked Ibdeles and they took it without too many resistance.That's how we wiped out Shogunate-Pillagers+ Small clans coalition.We expected Caravan Guards to help Shogunates since they are allied but they just sent 2.5k troops and they got killed easily by Union's army on the road.After we claim Rhodok Highlands,we played a little defensive,our clans settled down their new fiefs and we started to take defensive positions to our borders to east.We took Almerra castle but again there wasn't any aggressive movements from Guards.
Then items + golds wiped out we started to replenish our economy and then full wipe came.
That's history of BashiBazouks on Strategus v2.0 period.
There were some important issues on Strat 2 for us:
Kapikulu , our ex-clan got wiped 2 times .(First by Crusaders of Acre , second one by us. They were supporting Shogunates with 3.5k troops. We asked them to stop it and leave those lands without harm, they refused and died by our mujahideen's sword.
They threatened Bandits by "Attacking a fallen friendly clan is not wise" sentence , we supported Bandits with roster support against Turks attacks on early period of strategus then Turks declared war on us. Also when they wiped out from their first claims, fallens took one of their claims , Bardaq Castle. Which was a good source to laugh about their friendship.
Abay our ex-leader on Kapikulu , came back from death ! (His funeral ceremony :

He posted a letter and he said "This is my suicide letter, i resign from Kapikulu and i erased this game, i won't ever play it again" after we left and yet some remaining kapikulus wanted some changes on Abay's reign.Then few weeks later he showed up again and said "This is son of Abay , Barbaros and i'll contiune my father's teachings on a new clan Called Abays."He formed an alliance called Royal Union . It had Abays,Inglorious Bastards and English Kingdom.It also allied with The Turks . That failed also.They declared war on Merceneries when Mercs were under heavy attack from multiple clans.They probably hoped to take some fiefs from mercs but that idea went badly and prepared the end of Royal Union.
Then Abay posted a thread on turkish forum which is "Abays are now Fallen's vassal ! Any attacks against Abays means attacks against Fallen !" which was another fail idea since Great Khans, fallen's real vassal attacked and wiped Abays off the map lol.
