Spawning with peasant gear instead of butt nekkid

[Tanken]

Thanks for the info Oogie.

[yashichi]

does this apply to field battles too?

Can we get an answer to this?

[Lt_Anders]

I believe it does.

Is this supposed to only benefit defenders or what? We attacked with 0 gear and... spawned naked. Enemy was given free equipment as intended.

This seems to be the case.

LOL... what? What do you expect? Win for free?

If both sides were to get free gear, it would hardly be a free victory. But I can see reasons for not having it like that. Such as making the attackers actually need to be prepared geared out and not just spamming 100 man armies at their enemy for free

No, but that is what defenders got this morning. Why is it ridiculous to think attackers might get free gear, too? What I expect is a fair fight. Why do defenders deserve free gear, but not attackers? Why, then, does anyone deserve free gear?

There is no need to attack, but you have to defend, if attacked.

And this:

Because you choose to attack. If you are going to attack someone, you prepare for it, not just get 2 swords and chop down 100 defenseless troops, simply because you've gotten a lucky drop on them. Naked slaughters are dumb and not fun for either side.

[Gristle]

Naked slaughters are dumb and not fun for either side.

So you agree attackers should also be given free gear or no one at all?

you choose to attack.

[Gristle]

We are all choosing to play. Attacking and defending is part of the game. "You chose to attack" almost seems to say we are choosing to be punished for doing so at this stage of the game. I have to prepare my attack, but you don't have to prepare your defense. No one sees a problem with this? Why should the unprepared be given any advantage? What game are we playing here?

You can say there is no need to attack, and to that I'll ask again, what game are we playing here?

Give both sides free gear or take it away.

Perhaps you just woke up to strategus and did not see the nonsense that happened for the last few days with everyone attacking everything, getting just a few weapons, since they knew that their enemies wouldn't have any, because they either hadn't gotten to their fiefs yet or had just spawned and didn't have any time to get anything. I will forgive you for that. Now hush.

[CrazyCracka420]

I don't think it was nonsense...AI was giving fiefs to people when nobody voted on the fief...that is fair game in my mind...just because you're given a fief on the first day of strat, doesn't mean it's yours unless you actually are managing it, and able to defend it.
