Strategus for newbies

[Firebrand]

   Hello ppl. First i should say english is not my native so forgive me for mistakes. I will try to use simple words to express myself.
 
 I did make my charachter on strategus and make my little pretty clan just for fun, to have my own banner, clan tag and so on. After strategus whipe they choose me owner of little vilage Chelez(dont know how but they did). I didnt want to fight against anyone on strategus, cause i am total newbie. I dont know how works all those strategus battles and sieges, applying system, equipment, armies and other stuff.

 After few days i have noticed that my village is attacking without any warnings by BashiBazouk_ElendiL! I dont know shit about this clan and this person, but after all that happens i can say they are total shit. After i realized that Chelez is under siege and i can't fight with my unequped farmers against his army, i did sent message to that guy! I wrote him: lets make peacefull decision of Chelez problem, cause i dont want fight with you. I did receive no answer... He just took this village and defeat me, knowin that i cant fight him. Motherfucker...

 After that i just stay near that Chelez village doing nothing. With 120 men army of  farmers! And suddenly i saw that motherfucker attacking me again, without any reason! He did defeat my army, killed all my ppl and now i am near Praven city with 2 men. WTF? Why he is annoying me? I DID nothing against his faction and himself. He sent me answer after all in turkish. And wrote something about Chelez doesnt belong to me so fuck off. What the hell? They choose me as owner... Anyway i would leave this fucking village without fight and conflict cause i realize i cant deal with it for now. But he hostile me twice untill i did lost all my stuff... One guy applied for me in that battle to help me fight against agressor but anyway we lost, want thank that guy - Serr_the_PeaceBreaker - i just sent him 500 strategus gold i earned playing in cRPG!

 Never thought that ppl can be so assholes to newbies, especially in such small community like cRPG. Insted of help new players to learn the game you do all possible to make them leave with frustrations. Only one thing is keeping me not leave strategus - is that accident against me was inspired by asshole. So i hope most of guys playing in strategus not such motherfuckers.

Strategus is way more cut throat than playing in a c-rpg public server.  The BashiBazouks are a large faction, and early on in strategus people are trying to grab land.  If you are unable to defend your village, and they have no clue who you are, then you're an easy target (as you noticed). 

Ideally you would join forces with multiple people, trying to have one person control a fief will be impossible.  You need to recruit troops, make money (doing trade runs) and start equipping your fief, which was impossible to do with one person.

Ok. I think i didnt explain clearly my thought. I understand that i am newbie and know nothing about strategus but it doesnt mean they can behave like uncivilized barbarians.  He could just send me some answer to my message and i would leave this fucking village without fight cause i dont wanna fight against anyone i have two-men clan just for fun so i want be peacefull to all. And i didnt try to keep Chelez but he did attack me anyway. And he didnt stopped after this he just attack me again untill i lost all i had! Why? Because he is shit and his clan is shit also, cause i did sent message to his leader to stope hostile me without reason and i receive no answer as well!
  Attacking helpless newbie army of unequiped peasants! They did show themselves as assholes...

Yes it is pretty brutal, but that's how strategus is at the beginning.  People are fighting for any tiny bit of gold or equipment they can muscle off someone. 

As a general rule of thumb in warfare and hostilities, if someone can take something from you, they are going to.  It's not personal at all.

When I play Civilization V my motto has always been, it's not yours if you can't control it, or can't protect it (especially in regards to workers and settlers).    That's also how I played PWMod for Warband.  Someone might claim a castle, but if they can't hold it, then it wasn't theirs to begin with

Tell me one thing - Why he attacked me second time after he took what he want, after few messages to leave me alone, after i said him and his clanleader i dont wanna fight against anyone cause i am newbie? Why he did this?
P.S. Cause he uncivilized barbarian.

He probably wants your gold, and any equipment you might have?  Or else he's just a dick

I had 10 chipped great long axes in my equipment and 500 gold. All money i gave after all that shit to guy who applied for my in that battle and trying to help me! Hope that there is a lot of such good ppl in strategus.
And now i have nothing...

You don't get gold from enemies AFAIK. So about the only thing you'd get would be any equipment he has. Rather douchy but the EU's are damn dirty. Not a one gives a damn about "newbies" or anything.

Also, Bashi is turkish so he probably doesn't understand english.

Firebrand when you lose the battle and re-appear on the map, I'd suggest heading to a faction's area of control, and message one of them asking if you can stay in one of their villages while you make troops and money.

I'd suggest you get your army back up to 100 (will take 100 hours and 100 strategus ticks) then when you hit your troop cap, you will start making 10 gold an hour for every strat tick.  And keep playing c-rpg.  Then you can buy goods from one of their fiefs for cheap (hopefully around 5 gold) and then sell them in another fief for 23 or 25 gold per good.  Rinse and repeat.

Good luck, it's brutal out there, even more so if you don't have friends.

Yea he did sent me answer in turkish after hell attacked me second time, google translate tells me that he said to me like that: Chelez doesnt belong to u so fuck off. WTF? You just took village and attack me again to take my 10 chiped axes? Motherfucker. Let ppl know who are they, hope there is not many such maradeur clans in other case i dont see any sense to play this shit!

It doesn't matter what happened, that's in the past.  The question is now what are you going to do about it?   

Are you going to give up or are you going to fight to free Chelez?

Не воспринимай так серьезно, это игра в войну, и если они напали - это не значит, что они говнюки)
Одному на стратегусе и правда делать нечего, просто не хватит сил, и любой отряд разбойников тебя сможет ограбить и разорить. Чтобы делать что-то серьезное там - нужны соратники.

PS: sorry, was too lazy to write it in english knowing this guy is russian too.
