Again, you seem to be giving 6 options, while there are actually 2. All these words mean the same : RAIDER/TRADER.
Now, u cant be a trader anymore when all neutral fiefs are captured. So, leaves us Raider, say everything goes good, you equip an army to raid one factions caravans, but then all the other factions come to reinforce the attacked caravan (this is what happens, debating this fact is a mere sign of dishonesty), so you lose your battle. So your hard earned tickets and gear are gone (i can accept this, this is war), however, you cant build up a new gold reserve for equip cuz all the neutral fiefs are gone, so your life as a raider ends when u lose 1 battle.
Honestly i dont get why you carebears arent just saying "Nananana, hahahaha, yes we got you cornered and yes we will win!" instead of goin on like "nonono, we're not allied, we just all help each other, and we never attack each other" "this all a coincidence, you have no proof" "75% of playerbase, gief proof plz". Everytime you guys try to pull this it adds to your negative honesty-meter.
So, SOA, as a veteran player i can only advise you to get some skill points in the Handjob skill, this way, you might get a fief, if you dont annoy the greys or DRZ too much.
OH HI THERE MISTER BUTTHURT!I find it so hillarious that you are still whining so much you jump into this thread, minusing my post where I try to give some suggestions to the SoA guy, whining like a bitch and then coming with completely fail "corrections" to what I wrote and how "wrong" I am.
Let's just start with how fucked your "that's only 2 options herpaderpa schmszmsafmas I'm a germy old friend" argument is. I'm gonna explain what the different suggestions were, since your simple mind couldn't figure it out yourself. Here they are:
Mercenary: You get a small to medium sized band with medium to good equipment. You travel to the different warzones and offer your men and equipment to the different factions. You don't offer a LOT but you offer what could be the DECISIVE element. Good equipment for your troops is the best here. Big factions will rather have many lowly equipped troops, but you want to have a high Kill per Troop ratio because you travel a lot. Also, upkeep. Having clanmembers able to craft medium armour/weapons for you is a big pluss. You make sure you and your clanmembers keep your reputation as neutral as you can. Always make sure to not anger people long time. Make them know and understand that you are giving your troops for THAT and THAT battle only. Don't just inform this to the guys you fight FOR but also those you fight AGAINST. Try to make it so that people will WANT you to be there for them. The more valuable and scale-tipping you can be, the better for you all.
Merchant: Basically what MOST solo people are now. You craft goods at a place, move somewhere else, then sell it. You equip your troops or sell the gold for cRPG gold to a faction or whatever.
Bandit: You get a small and mobile band with enough troops. You fight lightly or unarmed people and attack them for your stuff. Pretty obvious, really.
Bounty hunter: You hunt bandits. NEVER attack people you aren't sure are bandits. Make sure you only go for known fugitives. Remember to inform the different big factions about you, maybe they'll give you a small reward for cleaning out the bandits for them. Of course, most wont reward you with anything if you don't tell them. Just make them aware that you are keeping the roads safe from bandits. Maybe ask them if there are certain individuals they want gone from their lands.
Trader: Close to the merchant, but instead of dragging trade goods from place to place and selling them, you drag ITEMS from place to place. You sell different equipment that you and your clanmembers have made. You REALLY want to be able to craft CHEAP but EFFECTIVE stuff, especially heirloomed stuff. Almost everyone and their mother can craft +3 Greatswords, Poleaxes and 1h Super Swords, but not many can, or even have, CHEAP looms that are GOOD. Like the Military Scythe, Bastard Sword, Nordic Swords and ESPECIALLY cheap, but good, shields. Your profit lies in selling
en mass crafted good stuff for reasonable prices and then transporting it to people willing to buy them. With a clan of people who knows how to get a high crafting skill in the right gear, you can easily make a good amount of gold. Gold, is as always, power and influence and you can then use this method to get enough capital to become something else.
Marauder: Very similar to Bandit, but instead of going after lone merchants or faction caravans, you are working FOR a clan against another. You are basically a proxy, attacking a factions enemies without anyone knowing it's them. The patron can even help you out with troops, money and gear. All depends on what kind of deal you work out.
No, not you, u with troops and gear provided for you.
Hi there mister bullshit. The Risen have NEVER gotten any troops, gold or equipment from ANY other faction. The only thing we have received are Trade Goods that we have given an equal amount back, aka a TRADE. You might be to retarded to know what that is, but for those of us with a working brain can understand that that's not getting stuff for free.
We never have received anything, and never WILL take anything, without giving something back. Unlike HRE, we can actually equip, recruit and support ourselves. Now I suggest you get the FUCK out of this thread, you have already shittied it up enough. I was coming with suggestions for what people could do in strat (mainly aimed at SoA and other small clans), but you had to come in with your butthurt attitude, typing irrelevant (and completely FALSE) "corrections".
NB: And can people PLEASE stop dragging US into this imagined Carebear alliance? Just because we don't attack our neighboors doesn't mean we are allied, it means we are smart enough to recognize that attacking them is a bad move. This is called STRATEGUS, not go-around-and-attack-everyone-randomly-while-whining-"carebearOMFG!"-because-they-can-actually-be-friends-and-decent-to-each-other-ius. You wanna know WHY none of us are fighting for you guys as mercs in your battles? Because not a SINGLE one of you have ever popped into our TS, said "Hi, we got a village fight. You wanna help us out?" or anything. What you HAVE done is call us my old friends, insult us, GTX the game blaming us, and being so butthurt that everyone dislikes you while you go around insulting them. Why wont anyone be friends with you? Gee, go figure.
