Mercs didn't fight in 1st strat they didn't win anything or lose anything, they purchased fiefs and took over fiefs of our enemies, which was given to them by owners so those fiefs wouldn't end up in our hands.
You can't win strategus as a clan, you can only win or lose some wars, thats all. And you can't really win if u don't participate in any.
However in strat 2 mercs won war against FCC, its just FCC used their tricks as usual to make sure they don't get wiped, like secure peace using 8k army of Chaos that didn't get anything at the end for helping.
I have to admit it was a good war they had there and mercs was clearly wining it.
I see what you did there. Trying to get Mercs angry at us and not UIF 3.0. Frankly mercs gave us a real fight. DRZ, ended up kind of a disappointment, you had half-dozen NA clans and your huge clan including BIA and other sub-clans, and you tried to blitzkrieg us after we lost 10K troops taking a castle and you lost troops by the kilo and eventually your allies lost most of their fiefs and your fiefs would have been lost too, but you glitched the nighttime feature, and the 1/3rd attack and retreat option on every army we sent.
Didnt put up very good fights, remember you guys being more fearsome when you all had supersonic bows in strat 1.0, I guess things changed to much froma first person shooter game.
Still think mercs have some of the best fighters in EU. USed to think in Strat 1.0 that DRZ did too, but found out archer-crutching as a clan just masked things. Would take a Merc mercenary over a DRZ mercenary any day hiring for a battle.
