The Future of the NA Kingdoms

[Hobb]

Na does not want to fight Eu.....

we dont want to fight eu on na ping during eu primetime, we dont dont want to fight eu on na ping in na primetime

the difference between Errmerica and eu is we want to fight eachother.
TKoV just fought a battle against the union, some eu faction most of us have never heard of, and although the batte was really fun it lacked what we what we like to call down her' in da south as some good ol talk shit
I didnt even right my rp story about "the battle of big tree" because we were figthing some eu clan

we want to fight eachother. we want to troll eachother on the forums and in game.

I find it funny that people think that Na was suprised when drz invaded. This is the same thing that happened last strat, except worse because all of Na is on one corner of the map. We just would rather have fun by fighting anther na faction then sit and wait for russia to finally get bored and invade

changing game mechanics to stop big alliances wont change anything because Eu will still carebear and na will still kill eachother.

if you dont want to split the map because na has like 5 active strat factions with more than 10 people then give us a little island with 10 fiefs off the coast and let us have fun while Eu plays European union simulator and takes turns bailing out greece

weve tried to work together, but there is just one huge difference between us. We want to fight for fun, you want to fight to win
pink text and posting a picture of your fief as your wallpaper doesnt mean that much to Na


i hope the devs can get it right in strat 4... and TKoV will give you fight until we have nothing left... you have run a great strat campaign so far and you have our respect for that

see you on the battlefield!!

stocking up ) we lost by far more troops then one side of NA fighting another (or maybe all sides together in all wars on NA so far:))), it was about 6k-8k with mercs and 3k more lost due to bug and all the equip with it and then taking all the towns and castles... what are you talking about )) most castles took us 2.5 - 3k troops with best equip we had.

i don't know what other clans lost but this is what druzhina lost so far.
so 5 castles lets say 2k (take it minimum) = 10k, + 2 towns is about 6k, and another attack on neutral town which we decided not to take after 1.5k.
so it goes to about 27.5k and if u consider that we took so many villages too and now on NA about 5-6k gone so 33k... even if u remove 10 from it, its sill a lot!!!

who's stocking up?

Hm lets disprove this, shall we?

185 dead

Total losses 6,750.
You lost more fighting mercs than taking every single Neutral castle and town around you. In fact, you capture a castle and town with so few losses that you got close to 11 million gold without any hassale.

Overall losses 14.5 k, with the last losses being sustained on january 20th, 2 months ago, so you had 1.5 months to build and trade and do whatever the hell you wished before invading Chaos. Don't try and bullshit that you lost 30k troops. You just barely lost 20k yet if you consider your "6k lost on NA". Also if each village was a decent fight(don't feel like checking those, that's at most 5k more, bringing you up to 25.5k total losses at this point in time, still 2k under your  initial 27k losses and FAR under your 33k in losses.)

Plus, aren't castle attacks usually a net gain, given how much money they have?  Esp if you can arrange an easy win.

[Turboflex]

For a while NPC attacks got really easy too, cuz at the time people weren't getting exp/gold for strat battles so people stopped signing to defend NPC fiefs/castles/towns they didn't really care about. I assume most of DRZ's EU truce buddies weren't signing up to defend NPC locations from them?

[CrazyCracka420]

So if Anders research is correct and you can make so much money from taking over castles and towns, why haven't more factions done the same thing?

Also besides the lack of xp/gold for a while, factions generally are worried that if they show up in force for an AI/neutral fief, then the attacking faction will come after them.

You should be anonymous when you fight for AI defense, or at least make it so that the other team only see's anonymous names in the scoreboard/kill alerts.

it only works if you dont have a large resistance of mercs working against you

**oh now i understand why the UIF is so gamebreaking**

[Smoothrich]

NA - cry more or get to work lazy bastards ... Empty villages, naked people, poor players (you should destroy us with your ping, even naked), spam on the forum (brilliant ideas to improve the game) and pretensions to the throne  - that's all you have to offer... From NA only Hospitalers and "former" EU clans seem to be solidly managed. It's very likely that if didn't exist a constant threat of war from UIF side, Kapikulu (respect) and the rest of "former" EU clans, they would be able to take all your land with little effort...

Err.. we were busy fighting the Hospitallers, and wrecking them.  We even had less resources then those guys, because they were being funded by EU clans all of strat.  But due to better commanders and skill, despite worse gear, we were handidly winning our war by getting nearly 2:1 kds on offense or defense against them.

Unsurprisingly, after a few weeks and when all of our allies were in position to move in the Steppes and really take the offense, like 20k UIF troops came crawling in and wrecking our fiefs.  What the hell kind of resistance did you expect, when all of our armies were somewhere else?  Everyone has pretty much sent everything they had already at the DRZ stacks, and we lost every battle, due to thousands of more troops, some good players, and absurd amounts of lordly crutch plate.

Good job, every NA clan but Hospitallers are bad at the game, right.  I don't think most of us will mind not playing this game again either, not only is Strat 3.0 shit compared to the second one, the attitudes and alliance making of people like you, bragging about winning Strat every time.. grats, you can have strat. I want nothing to do with this shit game and the shitty community that ruins it.

[BoneSaw]

Well put Smooth! HoC will be stepping away from this stress ball and focusing on anything besides strat! We'll still fight and merc but our days of land running is over. I'd like to say it was a good run but it wasn't. Hundreds of hours invested to just be attacked while we are all at work or asleep. Not the game for me or any hard working American I know of.  EU and their record unemployment might have something to do with this too? Who knows, who cares. Peace out Strat.

[Turboflex]

we need a NA rageball league for some healthy competition until strat is fixed.

...

I'm now a little snappy, but it is because we are disappointed with the lack of resistance from your side... It would be long and difficult war, and came out as always 

Wow.  Just wow.  You obviously have no idea what's been going on in the NA lands. 

And Nebun, too.  We were destroying 1,500 tickets repeatedly, why do you think hospitallers were literally buying so many armies from other players until you stepped in to squash us?

You guys only have to blame yourself for us "lacking resistance" we were in the middle of a neverending war with the hospitallers, pretty evenly matched I might add, when you came knocking.  Sorry that our 26 damage bamboo spears pretty much perma-glance on your full sets of Lordly 60-70 armor value.    We'd have lost that if you hired the most incompetent players possible.  But no, you're going to insult us instead of realize that YOU GUYS ARE GOOD.  Well, whatever.

NA is like tribal warfare native americans, then rich sophisticated Europeans who come kill us with their riches

Wow, this is surprisingly accurate.

Don't forget the biological warfare though.  Come on guys why you gotta play so dirty? 

[Harpag]

Guys, if I offended you, I did it unintentionally. I didn't  know that you are so gentle. My english is poor, so sometimes my posts look strange. But generally  I don't change my opinion. After losing the campaign, you looks for a fault in the attitude of other people or in the game mechanics, rather than to correct your own actions. This is your problem. At the time of the attack from the EU, you can probably use the truce and unite against a common enemy. It was obvious that you will be attacked. You don't live in a vacuum and this must be taken into consideration. You have to get organized. Otherwise you will be at the stage of tribal fighting. I'm trying to provoke you into a hot fight, and not to discourage the game ... I wish you good luck.

PS. The truth always hurts the most. Sorry.

[RibaldRon]

You're not understanding how the game works, I guess?

EU had 2 1/2 months uninterrupted to prepare for the fight against us.

During that time, we were battling with another faction.


Now you say that it's our fault that we didn't give you guys a fight.  You guys crushed an already weakened faction, and you say we are to blame, which is utter nonsense.  Hospitallers initiated the attack on us, and allied themselves with you.  Fact of the matter is that you guys won, plain and simple.  We are merely suggesting that the broken game mechanics which allowed this to happen should be changed.

At the end of the day, I had fun.  I will continue to play Strategus, regardless of if there's a reset, or regardless of if things change if there is a reset.

In the event that there is a reset, I hope that our suggestions will be taken to heart, and the game will be more balanced and fun for everyone in the future.  If you honestly believe that the mechanics are all fine, magically dandy and balanced right now, you are an idiot.

I'm just glad hospitallor didnt beat us and we lost to the all mighty DRZ!
