Yeah ... it is so sad that many battles are lost because the attack / defense is so late that you have to ditch sleep if you want to fight in it :/

Because i already apologized to Harpag about the cirumstances, which but DRZ perhaps didn't know. Harpag also accepted my apology. Harpag feel free to share our communication about this with Vovka.

To all others, i am sorry for this and it shouldn't happen again.


When someone is very sleepy, he can forget about simple things :P
Nothing happened. We just lost one army. Compared to devs action it's really small trifle. The only problem that's wasn't our army...

BTW:
quote from Segd:

"Current battle & loot system prevents dynamic warfare. Even within 4 months you couldn't do much.
For example current Tshibtin situation: UIF & Anti-UIF have about 10k troops each. UIF could attack the village only with 1.5k max(constant charge, little tactics) due to battle timer. & Anti-UIF need to have 2-2.5k troops in the village to always win & to get shitload of loot. So all we could do is to send 1.5k armies one by one, until one side will finally run out of tickets(which is hard since every side have more than one hundred active recruiters).
Same goes for Anti-UIF. They can't counterattack our armies in the field, cause we could reinforce our 1.5k armies to unbeatable 2.5k amount & get a lot of loot after battle.
Thats why Strat is boring as hell right now on EU
."

Instead of inventing new solutions, it's better to remove annoying bugs and take advantage of all previously tested good solutions, and implement as soon as possible, because soon will be too late for anything. 35 people on cRPG_1 in primetime is a grim joke that best shows what we are dealing now.

SCALING or 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..

TBH everyone is waiting for Warband II...

Lulz.  We have done two city sieges with over 3000 troops and won.  The timer has been fixed for a while - you actually get more than 90 minute in big fights.  one we got 112 in game and the other was 106.  1 hr. 52 minutes and 1 hr. 46 minutes were more than enough.  In the first one they had heraldic mail and we killed 2000 of them and capped all flags in 50 minutes.  The other one they had lesser equipment and we capped flags in roughly the same amount of time (someone had glictched outside of map but close enough to spawn it wouldn't go down).  We had an hour to spare in each.  You can use more troops and thereby get enough time to kill plenty of tickets and even cap flags if you had the balls.  Its not developer's fault you are too scared to attack with more than 1500.

However, i do think a bigger battle like that deserve to have 60 or 70 mercs like in old strategus.

Fighting against hobos & fighting against carebear is not the same thing :) I was on the second battle, poor bastards could only die & retreat until they got spawnraped. If there was an equal teams you couldn't take their flags or kill all defenders.

What would you do with your bals if they had same equip & non-stop reinforcements after each battle?

Thovex, how does that stop nighttime been abused when some people are happy to leave it set, as a "valid defense against attacks", between 6pm and 2am.

Remove nightime, add set time slots available for attacks (EU Prime Time).

Attackers get first choice of the tiem they attack, Defenders can only move this forward by a few hours.
