FCC has been doing well this strat no question, but a few things I would like to point out.
Kutt did not have an equal organization nor footing as FCC, they simply had a lot of villages and what not from the voting system. They also did not have as many active players as FCC and as many resources to hold their claims which was made obvious after your invasion and the lack of resistance.
As for us Hospitaller, we were battered from the tkov/every other faction war on us. We never had a chance to rebuild or gain any viable trade routes as we were locked down, yes we have made a few eu runs but those were extremely minor in comparison to the free reign tkov and FCC had/has. Of course you are doing well, but to say these are "accomplishments" is a bit much.
FCC and tkov have a lot of heroes, that helps a lot in any battle, I'm in not ashamed to say we're lacking in that department, even I am horrible in battles but we deal with it. Now we do have some quality guys/gals, I'm just talking in comparison.
FCC vs tkov would be epic, both factions are the only 2 that have had free reign to monopolize the na map without resistance, either faction taking the other out would be an accomplishment, taking out smaller unorganized clans is more in line with a participation ribbon.
Feel free to throw numbers in our faction, I've been bugging peppo to take off dozens of names from our roster as they don't play nor contribute to strat, as all clans get I'm sure, but I guarantee our active members would be 1/3 of what shows on our faction page.
