x10????
damn if there would be so much, strategus would end in first week, so if u all put together your armies, like Mercs 4.5k, and lets assume all ur other factions can put something similer on the table, same or less. it would end up in about 30k minimum, this means that west faction between themselves should have about 300k army? :)) if so FCC why u still got land on the map?

this is just plain propaganda

not to mention that only about half of western factions active, and half of players of active clans playing other games right now :)
what do u have to moan about kesh?
When you leave your own carebear alliance and stay as single faction I will listen to everything u got to say about alliances :) But for now its just a lot of hypocrite bullshit
Burn!
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

10x as many players, and frankly its proabbly a rough estimate from him - more like 7.5x, which is still kind of ridiculous.  Mercs have 4.5K army with as few playeers as they have??  Thats really impressive.  But with 80% of EU and 20-25% in your circle-jerk alliance, yes, you have probably about 7.5x as many players as the next biggest alliance on the map, which is boring to say the least.

Dude, even if its 2x the size it's still a clear advantage. Anyway, I'm not going to discuss about this anymore even, it's obvious strat favours player numbers and you guys got way more player numbers than any other alliance.

Pointless to go over the same facts, I'll just wait for devs to change strat (if they will).

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

Vibe - not x2 even.

another funny storry is:
Byzantium from the begning of the strat looked for allies to group up and attack former factions of UIF. Didn't work so good and well, until mercs got thereatend by Union and decided they need someone for protection, spread out nice story about UIF killing everyone and all other EU factions joined them willingly, except for Wolves and Templars, they had their own alliance and been forced into joining Anti Uif coalition. Their first target was druzhina :)) and then the rest of former UIF factions.

now if u plan to set up huge alliance and they know about it, would they sit and when when u come for them and kill 1 by 1 :) this just gets other factions closer together, since they all threatened. No, they will strat grouping up, just what u doing now by setting up new NA + EU alliance :) And there isn't anything wrong with it, everyone doest whatever they can.
Its a game of who will bring more friends :))) I remember how many friends you brought against us in strat 2, x3 more then us in troop count. Didn't see u suffer from making that choice. :)) then why crying now?

btw, its totally down to your "posting on forum" + "communication" skills Kesh, that about half the map wants to wipe FCC of the map, fighting on shitty ping on NA servers in the mornings. :))) Nobody cared about you on your NA part of the map until u started posting on forum, insulting people and making up increadable stories.
Telling that western factions got x10 more players is just shows the level of ur exaggeration on everything you post.

lol, sure nebun sure.  And Grey Order making comments about taking Jelbegi, you invading our lands and 22nd saying the same LONG LONG ago early in Strategus wa just pre-emptive strike against my posting.  Seriously Nebun you lie more than any diplomat I know of any clan.  You have been making comments about HRE and Fallen as well for ages, the Mercs and now suddenly its because of what they are posting now.  Im sure your little butt buddies will + your post and - my post, but you have been feeding troops, equipment, and gold for ages adn talking about attacking people and most of our reactions have been to you and your buttbuddy allies comments about attacking us and other NA  clans.  You should look at your own postings first, not my ones reacting to yours.

P.S. You and your circle-jerk friends need overwhelming odds in your favor before attacking (basis for your entire carebear alliance) and I am sure you are going to repeat it because unlike FCC which thrives on fighting no matter the odds, you are far far too cowardly to ever try something like that (and its a fricken video game and you can't take chances??  how sad)

You talk so big because as soon as you start losing you have the rest of your mega-alliance get involved and save your ass (as soon as you started losing in Strat 2.0 - grey order, 22nd both started to get involved, 22nd sending you troops and Grey order marching 20K troops towards HRE).  Your alliance just happens to make up 80% of EU 20% of NA and is 7.5x the size of any other alliance in the game in numbe of players.

I think the absolute worst thing about this is that Strategus actually does have a very large metagaming problem (in that nearly all the EU clans actually are allied, or will otherwise not attack each other), but that any attempt to discuss it rationally has been poisoned by Kesh's incessant rantings.
