[Firebrand]

I had a battle this morning( 7am with Turkish time) and when it is 7 am there was no battle. It is kept being in battle list but I couldnt enter it. Then I waited for 20 min and it didnt change( it was in the battle list when the time was 7.20 am ). Then I went to work. Now, I see it is gone and seems defender won the battle. The At fifteen, I had the will to  learn ; at thirty, I could stand ; at forty, I had no  doubts ; at fifty, I understood the heavenly Bidding ;  at sixty, my ears were opened ; at seventy, I could  do as my heart lusted without trespassing from the  square.

Okay then I wont attack you harry, if you "give me" the gear back, I will let you keep the trade goods and your troops+gear.

[SoA_Sir_ODHarry]

well for the fairplay

Strat is a joke

Holy crap, RL takes over for a day and I come back to find the powers of chadz and ivani4 have aligned to defend me in my absence 

EDIT : Seems there MAY be a deal in the making (I've not been on long) but I am moving to more neutral grounds between our lands, (NOTE I am not running home giggling with glee) if any 2k man armies appear on my ass then I will assume they mean to attack and leg it.

Whilst I agree this is a shitty situation, I think if you ask any decent sized strat clan, they will have a sob story similar to this. I have multiple, the most recent one being, after I locked down your army that failed the raid on Ismirala castle. I attacked you because I was the only one ready, I was bringing down troops and horses. Our reinforcements were only an hour distance away, and when they set off, strat froze for multiple hours, so we missed the reinforcement time, and lots 500 horses (mostly +3 destriers and a few +3 rounceys) and tickets. We would have outnumbered and outgeared you, and took all your gear if strat hadnt froze. We searched solutions and the reponse we got was: shit happens, suck it up. So we did, and we did the best we could, and killed 300 of your tickets with only horses.

My point is, while annoying and buggy, it has happened to everyone, multiple times in some cases, and a rollback has never been granted.

If you get a rollback, its only fair that we, and every other faction gets them too.

TLDR: Just because you are the first faction to go whining on forums about this sort of thing rather than taking it up on irc, it doesnt mean that you are the only faction that it has happened to.




My 2 cents.

We got an auto loss.

Gonna roll it back since it was over 700 troops and a bucket load of  +3 gear and trade goods?

SoA_Resolute vs Nord_Rufio_pleaser_of_widows - Hide Details
- Battle time: 21.10., 09:12
- Battle duration: 01m00s
- Army size: 406 vs 708
- Battle result: 412 vs 707
- Winner: Attacker

Same thing happened to us, we attacked with a couple hundred troops versus 100 troop afk's in our territory, with the paused battle times we had nobody show up when the battlse actually took place, so we auto-lost against afk's with nobody signed up on the other side.

Sweet, go strategus.

Frustrating as hell to put so much time and energy into strategus to have issues like this set you back.  Guess I need to stop taking it so seriously.

SoA have broken the written agreement and ran away at 4am in the night. The written agreement is here below in black and white for all to see. We are sorry to see it came too this after they let us wait all afternoon and evening until Shanks was home. We could of attacked and wiped them out due too the fact Shanks is the owner of Mechin which is where SoA keep their manpower so they would have been unable to reinforce SoA_Resolute in time for the battle because he was at work until 00:30 European time.

In all fairness, at the time of logging on, there was no nord army in sight and I could have made it home, instead I waited as I was told there might be a deal, not justifying anything, just saying.

Because he was waiting in the forest far enough away as agreed with Harry, he waited all day in the forest  Until you came online at about 8pm and we could agree to move closer.

[Crob28]

I first checked strat at like half 5, the army wasnt in sight at that time, in fact the first thing I did was start heading home, but then I was asked to wait, and then a while later the army appeared slowly approaching, and then the massive clusterfuck of the talks began lol

EDIT : That I was a part of at least

Re: Hey Cootie )
Hey Polo,

Yeah  I hope you're well too!


Regarding SoA and Strategus, you must understand that your faction already made an agreement with the Nords.

You agreed to give up your lands in exchange for keeping Aldelen (which now have been traded for yet another fief) and free trade routes, plus being under our protection. In exchange for us not attacking and wiping you off the map

So that 3 people from SoA was fighting for our enemy (that includes you personally) at 3 AM in the night is a huge deal breaker. We had to fill our roster with half Americans and Canadians, while the Castle had almost full EU roster.

Therefore you a now considered enemies of the Kingdom and will be attacked upon sight by us and our friends.

Nothing personal of course :-P Just Strategus crap.

(I doubt we'll bother to move anyone out to attack your guys moving through as retaliation for helping our enemies, but it MIGHT happen. Just so you know. Kinda depends on whether we have anyone with our mounted defence armies awake to attack).

Feel free to drop me another PM if there's anything, you wouldn't happen to have Steam?


Best regards, (Cooties)

Sry I remembered it as a scroll and such, but here it is in black and white. The Nords declared war on SoA on the 1/10/2012.  Just to make it clear
