Good to see how you deal with this problem by attacking on an early monday morning, your whining suddenly evokes a lot less compassion.
Yeah, how dare bastards that live to the east of us attack during early hours. What possible excuse could they have for waking up so early during our time zones?
I might point out that for much of the battle FCC was actually defending. We spawned down hill from the village, and the attackers kept pushing us back down the hill towards our spawn. Probably because they had more players, and better equipment (not sure about the bows and xbows, though).
Defenders suffered heavy casualties when they forsook the cover of their village.
That they could push us back so far, practically to our spawn, is kind of bad. I mean, we were the attackers, shouldn't we be forcing the defenders to desperately... defend?
You do realize that if they put on you defense, that gives you a massive advantage, right? You spawn closer to battle. You can pick up their nice village bought weapons to replace your piss poor weapons. You don't have to deal with them taking cover behind houses. Your archers can pick them off on their nice long run to you. Honestly, unless there's so few attackers that your spawn can get taken or the majority of your army is on the other side of the village, having the defenders run out of their village to attack you is pretty much the best thing you can ask for.
