this is my personal view of it.
btw occitan just get walk over on eu dessert against hre fallen gk templar sb stormgrade and maybe some other with 2 fief we were able to first took of their fief at the begining and keep a decent figthing even with ping disavantage and low economie compare to that mega alliance. We had merc help tougth from several faction who has comflic against them aswell. We arent complaning about getting wiped or anything im just saying any faction should have a goal and try to make it. now we move on and working somewhere eles
that being said for the fcc if you are really worry about that kuut/hosp alliance feel free to make yours. everyone have theirs anyways look tkov hoc and mb together making a empire. as huge as the northen empire use to be almost 
btw canary for the large na map keep in mind there is like 40 occitan missing on it atm i count 10 on na side alread. so yeah maybe the map is to large for all of you without us in hehhe.
Hey, welcome back to NA Occitan!
Also, Lordark. Really?? You are still dwelling and obsessed with something that happened a year and a half ago in 2 strat versions back??!?? Really? I have already forgotten about it long since, so has Matey. All I can say is - I pity you.
Also, I don't hold any grudges with any clan at the moment because I was gone from Strategus for 9 months and I don't carry things with me like that. I do at the moment disagree with the idea of already trying to create huge alliances in NA side instead of actually playing the game with risks of loss like in Strat 1.0 at the beginning. We have a chance to have a nice fresh board because so much of the large alliances were linked to EU and most clans are reasonably sized so we can all have a lot of fun.
Mostly I just feel rather disappointed in both clans that they do this in the first month of NA Strategus before ever a blow has been struck. Why couldn't we have fluctuations of fortunes and battles back and forthand loss/gain of fiefs like in early Strat 1.0 before you have to pull this crap and unite the entire Western 1/3rd of the map into one gigantic alliance.
P.S. I know some of this was KUTT - they were desperately seeking an alliance first with us to attack Hospitallers and now Hospitallers against us. I know they are afraid of having 2 decently sized clans on either side of them owning castles in areas they want to claim, but this is such a boring way to handle it. Stand on your own 2 feet. FCC has lost all its fiefs multiple times in Strat 1.0 and once in Strat 2.0 because we faced stronger enemies than us and took risks, but we also destroyed empires too and every one of our members would say they had a lot of fun, far more than they would have in any other clan - certainly more than in timid clans that only enter wars when they vastly outnumber their opponents in gear, troops, mercs, and gold.
