The Future of the NA Kingdoms

[Arn De Gothia]

Gamers, c-rpg players, lend me your ears.

Our continent has been wracked with war for weeks now, between the forces of red and green. Now, the Bear menace (Russians) has invaded our lands. I do not speak as a representative of HATE, or any other faction. Here is my suggestion. Once Chaos is/maybe destroyed by the Russians, how soon will their hungry gaze fall upon the red alliance? Will Chaos come to fight then for the reds? No, I think they will cackle at the destruction of their enemies. It is times such as these that forge heroes or broken kingdoms. Will the players of NA set aside their forum rage posts, clan splits, vindictive actions, and hate to achieve something  greater? I understand that if we all unite to drive out the Russians, wars will resume again, for that is the nature of humanity. But I ask you this, shall we, the men and women of NA lose our holdings to the EU Bears, over our vanity? Or for a brief glittering moment, stop our mutual hate and instead start a war cry for our people, and fight back together? This is what I put to you, in these dark days.

VICTORY OR DEATH

I think I am representing every EU clan when I say "I saw this coming."

Honestly I am going to blame this on the general xenophobic attitude of most NA clans. Too many people starting making things an "EU vs NA" mentality and with those mentalities, no surprise that the "bear and friends" came knocking.

Most EU may be quiet, but they do listen.

The above does not represent the opinion of the Fallen brigade nor anyone, just crazy ol' Tears of Destiny.

I doubt anyone will leave CHAOS in the event we are completely wiped out.

Why would you leave a clan over strategus anyway.

Was this really necessary to post this in both this and diplomacy.

Ooh so that's why it confused me I thought posts were removed.

ATS broke apart due to strat. i think.

The only reason it seems that way is because they don't have a common first language to spout the same old generalisms with. All you have to do is take a look at their (grab a translator: I'm sure the Fallen have several who understand most of the represented languages) Teamspeaks, and you'll find the same sentiments are present in both groups.

The only real difference is NA's tendency toward fractionalism, which is more of a showcase for individualism in our culture as opposed to any greater degree of xenophobia.

Due to the greater willingness of EU clans to work with each other, it's not hard to come to the conclusion that they're going to look for a target they don't play with everyday.

ATS never broke apart because of strategus...... They are a gaming community and when a game get to old for them most of them move on to another game.

[Blackzilla]

ok.

Speaking of EU invasions, might I suggest all you NA people set your "night time" to be something like 10am - 6pm or so?

I think a lot of people set it for something like 2am - 10am but most EU attacks aren't going to come at 4am on NA time -- Euros are just getting to work around then.  Whereas they will happily attack you at 1pm, while you are at work and they are just entering prime time.


NA sleep time = Euro work time
NA work time = Euro prime time
NA prime time = Euro sleep time

Choose wisely!

I think what will most likely happen (if I was a dev apart of the process that is) is that Druzhina and their allies will cause the end of this season of Strategus. Obviously they have been able to grow strong and very large. They are going to be able to (more than likely) take over the Green Faction's lands. Hospitallers and Company are too weak to launch any offensive against Druzhina and would roll over just as bad if DRZ turned their attention that way. If Chaos is gone, and LLJK is as well (it appears), then that leaves in the North:

Hospitallers struggling to recuperate after a brush with death (don't feed me your shit about having vast armies and stockpiles of stuff--you're not fooling anyone)
United Kingdoms of Calradia
HATE
KUTT (No fief to our name)
And various other small factions.

The point of this is, we've spent so much time confronting one another and not holding hands with each other like those in the South have, that we've expended all of our troops, gold, armor, and weapons waging war on one another and fighting to gain a foothold in our own areas. It's no surprise that DRZ is going to dust their equipment off and come stomping across the lands with their armies, but from this we can probably expect a wipe of Strategus.


If for some reason DRZ takes only Chaos settlements, then what? So they own a huge empire, have vast amounts of weapons and people, and still could outweigh most of the combined forces of NA. Even if we stood together, I don't think there is enough unity or drive left on the NA Strategus campaign to even begin to put a substantial dent in the outcome. We've lost already, and Druzhina just goes to show that Slow and Steady wins the race, build your empire large and well-equipped and you will roll over the rest.

End Game for Strategus is upon us.
