lol Anders... learn our history before you tell us to learn it.

we picked a fight with mercs, fought a long bloody battle before agreeing on terms of peace, turned around and joined drz and fallen in their plan against NE, took land from NE, were immediately attacked by DRZ once our NAP ran out because DRZ made peace with NE factions as soon as they got all the free land they could get, at which point they then allied with the remnants of the NE in order to attack FCC and gain more land... which didnt really work at all... and then 2.0 wiped.

we actually tried to get along with DRZ in 2.0 but they greatly underestimated us and tried for some easy land, and i think they hate us now because we were showing everyone that they arent invincible.

bah, almost all that sutff there is back room deals minus the war declarations, and some other minor things here and there.

But, the point STILL stands, your fought what, 5 factions/blocs last strat and then whine and moan that those blocs are coming after you?
Concerning the DRZ attacks, meh, worked is speculative. By the point of the wipe, the NA Alliance of Carebear Parties(or NAACP, or in other words you.) had lost 2 villages.  But, this discussion is not about Alliances, but metagame. I just find that of all the people posting incessantly about carebaring is coming from the NAACP themselves which itself is a carebear alliance.

so we should all just say "fuck it" and war each other until we get zerged by the UIF? as opposed to trying to be able to offer up some resistance?

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.

Yea. Otherwise can it and deal with it. If you are going to bitch about Carebear, then break it up. the NAACP has 1/3 of NA lands. If goons get added, that's half the NA map in control of 2 alliances. Can you see why i'm so damn annoyed by this carebear back and forth?

except that the EU carebear alliance will have 99% of the EU map soon, as well as up to 25% of the NA map.

FCC IS THE WORLD'S ONLY HOPE, LAST LINE OF DEFENSE

Will FCC endure against the endless hordes or will all things good and beautiful die with you?

What Strategus could be?  First half of strat 1.0 - tons of little wars between 1 clan possibly 2 clans against another and much vying and fun was had by all. 

Cool story bro, first half of strat 1 was simply dominated by the incompetent templar bloc until we and our good friends crushed it.

Vibe,
Strategus, as the name suggest it, is about strategy.

That man has high education ...do not mess with him ;)

Mute Kesh permanently on the forums? Takes away 95% of the whining 85% of the made up BS.

Best idea so far, keep the good work ;)

didnt i already say we will kill them all till they go home?  :lol:

You sir were gifted with the Warrior Spirit ... Keep the good work too !

[...]

TL;DR ?

Long story short , I feel really bad for EU who don't unite to make a stand , but instead allied themselves to "the" alliance. Shame on you, you disgrace your Ancestors! Now being officially neutral I can say this : It is better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees. Even if FCC get wiped, it's impressive to see what's needed to fight them. Were the 300 Spartans happy to die from such a battle where they don't fear to be outnumbered ? They had something to be proud of. What about you ? Let's ally everyone, farm troops and equip, and when we feel that we outnumber people a lot, let's attack. Until then , let's sit back and wait and just troll on the forum. We'll fight when we are very sure to win without much challenge. Well guess what, they'll fight hard and they won't fall easily.

lol, what exactly is that supposed to mean?

We beat De Bitre, we beat the Antarian's, we hold Buillin. Of course you can believe the nonsense that all our stuff is given to us by the "UIF" but that is just that, nonsense. Fact is we have been grinding out the trade goods quietly since strat started. How is HRE doin?
