Merc for Mercs! Battle at Ushkuru!

[Lizard_man]

We spawned, moved up a hill, they charged our spawn, we ran back, and from there on we were fighting on top of our spawn, eventually been overwhelmed, they just kept coming and coming, all this whilst under heavy fire from archers that had took the hill, spawn, dead, spawn, dead, spawn, dead, it's not exactly easy getting a good kill death ratio under these circumstances...

WOW!!!  26 vs 74 not a bad showing considering.  Why can't autobalance on the battle server ever do something like this for a couple of hours...putting me on the 74 team of course.

[Lizard_man]

This was my point entirely...

[Ernesto]

they changed it to 50 merc slots after your battle, someone really want u to win
ask them to give u plate armor with it

whiners

[Lizard_man]

And what the fuck has that got to do with us, whether they changed it because of our battle or not, and who the fuck's whining, yes, i've stated how rediculous the system was, but other than that, i've just been trying to get it into your thick head that we did a decent job under the 3 -1 circumstances, there's plenty of people who think it was bullshit...

[Zaharist]

System was good. Giving the defenders a slight chance to win, making village sieges a bit more competitive and boosting defenders' interest. Yes, it's 30 vs 70 but teamplay makes the difference.
It worked bad only on maps with very close spawns.
Too bad they changed it to 50 again, I just hope that it was not the result of mercs' tears.

Ernesto, don't be idiot saying that mercs suck. They have very good squad with skillfull fighters and experienced commanders.
look at defender's roster

and tell me please the name of strat faction, that could have better KD in that battle.
23 (of 24 visible def players) are members of ex-UIF factions, with lots of STR, Grey and DRZ players.

Do you guys even read the fucking posts...

I did.
Did I miss smth vital?

[Lizard_man]

Blatantly, i've been trying to tell Ernesto that we did rather well considering the battle was 3 - 1, and he's blatantly just trolling, not whining about the roster, i'm basically saying it's why we lost, why have you got it into your head that i was whining about the roster, skim my posts again, there's a couple saying that the roster was bullshit, other than that, there's no whining, and thinking my posts were one reason that it was changed, what, who the fuck would take notice of my posts that had nothing to do with it in the first place...

[Xant]

The new mercs get trolled so easy..

[Nessaj]

The slot increase should really ONLY go with a buff to villages, either in terms of troops or equipment, a slight percentage buff all the way up on fiefs in general would be good and force people to prepare more instead of just spamming troops and using low-end crap equipment .

[Lizard_man]

You must admit though, even though i wasn't in the best of moods tonight, it was alot more fun with even numbers on both sides, for the moment, i think equipment for the villages is fine, but an increase in population wouldn't be so bad...

the max 30 merc thing was to balance villages being too easy to take.  Wrong way to go and now its corrected, but increased troop and gold amount would be the right way to balance this issue of being too easy to take.

yes, plus AI should actually pay their mercs.
