Dehitay -
)) we are very big clan, bigger then ever before
in every battle we didn't have enough slots for our own members: 1. who was present at a time 2. who had hight enough level 3. who was active enough to participate - and we managed to easily fill the all merc slots with our members.
A lot of them without a tag by their own choice, but yes they all druzhina members.
And I have to say its not only about numbers now. Its about economy, organisation and understanding of new system, which I'm sure a lot of ppl don't understand still.
I'm wondering why such a huge clan as Fallen haven't attacked anything yet, while a lot of smaller clans managed to grab something.
Maybe its as difficult to understand as to how we capped our fiefs
Btw Mercs not a big clan as you, and they almost took a village - if merc slots would be higher they would surely take it.
As for FCC: i was present at 2 battles in defence, and i've seen naked ppl runing around doing nothing half of the battle, yes there was a number of good NA players giving all their best to fight you off, but if u only count them it would feel like you had a lot more attackers then defenders. I don't know what you did with NA Kesh, but smells like bribery.
Increasing merc count would just let you take villages soo easy, that it would be too booring. I'm sure if you pay defenders well enough they will cut their own throuts.
I didn't go to LLJK battle and don't know how it went. But i'd suggest some EU admins to have a look at some of the NA battles.
