Hello there! I'm the admin that eventually kicked the three people at the top of the tower after 8 minutes of waiting.
They were delaying with no attempt at retaking flags and the castle. This was obviously against the rules, but due to strat battle and it being reachable by ladders we (admins) decided as a group that the attackers should go and solidify their victory by their own blade with ladders, or catapult bringing the tower down.

This didn't successfully happened and the battle was well decided. By my judgement EVERYONE in the server was leeching (not attempting to catapult/ladder properly, and them not coming down). So I kicked the last three players to end the battle.

As for the story behind the castle itself, already covered in the thread.
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

Man up and put some ladders ?

That battle was just another reason to blanket ban NA , seriously...

Says the guy who bitched loudly when Archers camped in old cRPG?

"Just grab a ladder mate." Yeah... Funny you never said that before.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I really know nothing about what happened but , regardless,  I just had to say that for a developer to respond with "deal with it" is really uncalled for. Don't respond at all as a developer if you don't have anything constructive to add. You guys should hold yourselves to a higher standard than other forum posters. Very unprofessional.

Thats a pretty normal response from the devs in this mod. Sad to say it, but its true

You guys put the ladders little bit bad position. If you'd put them little closer you would've reached the roof without those 3 even being able to destroy the ladders.


EDIT: Remember that it's Strat. You can't consider leeching to be same in Strat as in lets say Battle. This isn't leeching, they didn't have any range weapon so they had to hide, attackers had ladders so they could've kept going.

Pumping tickets to the AI castle:
- You save big upkeep costs
- fork and a hat for defenders - catle with big population for free (gold at a constant level)
Great strategy or exploiting?

This would be exploiting if somebody did this on purpose.

Oh, and to anyone wanting to do that on purpose in the future? That's your warning!

Strategus and cRPG are two different things.
I retreated my army in Almerra Siege in previous strat because our army ran out of construction sites and ladders , and defenders were STILL DEFENDING instead of charging out , should i ask my admin friends to kick all defenders instead ?

You are just too idiotic to understand the main issue , as always.

Read this thread and you will have your answer.
skilled individuals, putting them together can create a very deadly and effective team.

Tears, you should know that there's a large difference between normal battles/sieges and Strat battles/sieges  :rolleyes:

You aren't doing your self any favours by making a thread like this Pygar.

Same goes for all Nords who participate in this nonsense, check your facts first.

Regarding people camping in the end when a castle is about to fall, that has been seen countless times, pretty much in 80% of all AI castle/town sieges. When is too much? Well that's up to the admins isn't it? Deal with it suffices, while not elegantly put of course :wink:

You should though elaborate on the castle Shik, just to squash this.
Things don't exist simply because you believe in them, thus sayeth the almighty creature in the sky!

I'm waiting someone from HRE or Fallen to tell the story of that castle.

Especially WHEN these stuff was dumped there and WHY

This.

Those troops were put into the castle many months ago to prepare for a Grey invasion that never came. You just happened to deal with the aftermath.
