Hi!

I saw that in the past days several topics appeared which are all the result of one single question: do people prefer more the fight man vs. man, the very act of killing, basing on reflexes and muscle memory, or do they rather prefer fighting in a team, the different classes supporting each other and steamrolling the enemy over a flank with minimal losses because he made a fatal mistake?

I know we have pretty much any preference combination in this community. All I'd like to know out of sheer curiosity is, how the distribution is. This topic is not meant to discuss which is the "right" way to play a game, or how the developers (either from cRPG or TW) meant the game to be, it's just about what is fun for YOU and WHY.

Edit:

Poll added. Please inform me if you would like to have someoptions changed/added. Poll is made so users can change their vote.

Edit2: another way to ask the question would be: do you like killing people or rather winning battles? Because that's not the same. You can be happy with having lost the round as long as you killed a few people, while someone else can be happy having won the round although all he did was scaring away the cavalry of a flank with a pike, and even being shot in the end. Or are you somewhere in between that?

I like following tactics when they are clear and only one person is doing it but I cant stand it when 5 keyboard Churchills start saying different things and then moan when no one follows them.

You bring nothing positive to any game server except making a nice easy target for cav and archers.

STAND CLOSER TOGETHER. KEEP YOUR FORMATION. DEFEND THE FLAG!

CHARGE!


To me cRPG is a game that masterfully combines the necessity for individual skill and teamwork. In my experience there is no team that can't be defeated, no amount of cavalry that can't be countered and no 2H hero that can't be killed - for victors are predictable, cavalry situational and blocking unilateral.

As frustrating as it is to lose to a lack of teamwork, winning due to it brings me more satisfaction than topping the scoreboard ever could.

BRING ON TEAMWORK! BRING ON X5!

I am above tactics.

I like tactics, though.

Tactics + fighting equally.
If anyone actually tries to lead the battle blob, I will always follow their orders even if I disagree with them - A bad plan is better than no plan every time.

I just wish more players would try and lead the mob sometimes.
Maybe you are not bad, but you are a boring person. Well, that's the end of the matter.

Doesnt it depend on the class and on the mood  :o ? Just a few examples

Hoplite -being team animal helps to stay alive and score some kills (otherwise quick deth)

1h shield -rather team animal

piker - totally team focussed

cav - predator behavior killing stragglers and unaware players or
being the protector of the inf, depends on mood

Guess that 1h / 2h / ninja / archer /light inf or cav are easier to play as lonewolf

What is meant with tactics in general? is our own behavior  meant or the perfect harmony of inf/cav/archers?

Well, usually you preference determines your class. So if you hate teamplay you will have no fun with pikes. That way you can already assume that pikemen are more inclined to teamplay than for example horse archers.

With tactics is meant how much you are looking for the course of the battle, what's happening at the flanks or the rear, are you suggestion or following tactics and so on - or do you simply rush forward and try to kill shit?

I see, so tactics are anything more than

"just rush the weaklings and kill them!!" 

 :shock: :shock: :shock:

Speaking of "commanders", some people are really role models and many players will give their (virtual) life for them, unfortunately most of the bossy players are kiddies or under-average players. Blending both on the battlefield confuse many players
