Question/hire-notice

[Kuujis]

Hello,

So I got attacked in Strategus. Apart from wasting whole weekend of trading - got a battle scheduled for 8am monday CET+3 time

First - a question. If I buy my peasants some weapons, but do not show up for the battle - will at least some autocalc take place or is the battle auto-lost?

Second - If the battle is auto lost - who would like to act as a commander instead of me during this battle http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=battlesupcoming#!?page=battledetail&id=221 and what would it cost me?

If you haven't bought equipment, then it's too late now.

Lucky for you, defenders that are naked now get some basic peasant gear to defend themselves with. That is what you will have to use.

If you don't show up and the enemy shows up, you lose.
If nobody shows up, the defender wins.

Make a post for people to apply to your battle here:

The price to hire a commander is usually all your gold, equipment and looms in cRPG.

Joking. Just ask if someone can take charge if you're not there. People fight for XP anyway, so it will probably be fine. If nobody is actively leading the battle, people would still manage to get an idea or plan for what to do in the small preparation time, but since you are defending in peasant gear, you don't really got any other tactical choice but to camp you spawn/somewhere close to spawn (don't let them capture your spawn, btw). So just write that in the briefing and your players should know what to do.

Your main problem is that the battle is 7 AM on a Monday. Not many willing to fight then.

Just to clear that up, you don't have to fight yourself. Recruit some ppl that fight on your side (and hopefully win ;)).

True. Bad wording on my part. My apologies.

Thank you all for answers, will create a "recruitment" thread as suggested...

And yeah, the problem is - battle is early in the morning...
