Ah, I'm not strong enough to go without getting one more word in, this is just too much.
Fact #1 Kinngrim asked you at the start of strat to join alliance, you denied...
Fact #2 Everybody wanted desert
Fact #3 When Nord saw that they can't have it alone, they come up with brilliant idea to call Wolves and Templars to join big alliance with Nord and Kapikulu
Fact #4 Take look on map, we raped your ass dude
Now you really are just telling stories. I'm not sure whether you're a vicious liar, or just totally misinformed because you haven't been involved in any of this at all. I hope it's the latter. Here it is from someone who actually took part in the negotiations, not just a foot soldier with no idea of what was going on around him:
1) Nords had two possible rivals in the desert, Byz+Kapi and Wolves+Templars&Co. kinngrimm offered us a worse deal because he wanted more land for more clans, so we agreed with Byz+Kapi to fight the others.
2) Supported by Byz+Kapi, Nordmen fought against Wolves, Templars and Pecores, and we had an average k/d of ~2 in our battles.
3) A few days after these battles, while we were preparing our next move, we were called to a meeting and informed that Byz+Kapi and Wolves+Templars&Co wanted to end the war and ally together to fight UIF. Nords confirmed (as we had before) that we had no interest in joining the alliance, but accepted the peace. Interestingly, kinngrimm and Alpha were very surprised at this, apparently they had thought we were a part of the bigger alliance.
4) Byzantines quit Strat.
5) Kapikulu, preparing for the coming Bashi attack, asked Nords for help, but we refused because our deal with them had ended when the peace was signed -- we had never agreed to fight anyone besides the Wolves allies. Templars and Wolves told Kapikulu they were sending troops to help, but attacked instead.
No Nord involvement past this point. Everything there is true, anyone who says otherwise is either misinformed or a liar. Obviously we didn't fight our battles alone, and we're grateful to everyone who helped us, but we're happy with what we've achieved. We're not bitter over anything, although none of us are impressed with the way Wolves and Templars treated Kapikulu and Byzantines, and all of us are pretty disappointed with how most of this Strat round has played out. We're not really holding our breath about anything interesting happening after this, but maybe there will be some fun castle sieges.
The rest I won't dignify with an answer, but I'm disappointed that people can't seem to discuss Strat without losing their heads. Like Tor said, happy new year everybody!
