Death to the OUTLANDERS!

[Digglez]

Outlanders from the desert marched South back to their lands through Viking held highlands.  The lowly grunts whispered to each other nervously, as a sharp wind bit across their faces.  Their plate equipped army and donkey carts made an unnatural clatter across the hills.  They began to notice more and more birds on the wing above them.  The Ravens glided down from above to perch noisily into nearby trees, fighting and squawking among themselves for less and less room in the bare braches that could be had.  Their eyes followed the long string of men and horses moving along the trail.  They knew what was to transpire soon enough…

It was a typical restless night in the Great Hall.  Warriors drank, friendly duels..er brawls and best of all chasing women.  A young unbearded scout approached the Chieftain in his wooden throne as he took a swig of his mead and a bite of his drumstick.

“Chieftain, a large heavily armed band of outlanders are making their way through our lands”

A sour, hateful gaze came over the Chieftain as he angrily finished chewing the rest of his bite.  He lurched over to the scout, with a devious smile beginning to appear on his face.

“Fetch my horse”, he told the scout.  The Chieftain stood up and gazed across the Great Hall until he spotted his favorite officer, the Hersir known as Blackwhite.  He stood and waited until the Hersir spotted his gaze and pointed.

“DEATH TO THE OUTLANDERS”, the Chieftain screamed out in a prolonged announcement.  The Great Hall stopped what it was doing and was momentarily surprised but soon rallied to the Chieftain's call.  Chants, yells & screams could be heard through out the entire the Great Hall.

KILL THEM ALL!
CRUSH, SEIZE, BURN, KILL
LEAVE NOONE ALIVE!
LET NO ONE SURVIVE!

[BlackWhite]

Fuck you I'm a viking.

[Duster]

How'd that work out

He's now a dead viking.

I choose to make a clan based on a theme and actually stuck with it, something probably less than 3 other cRPG clans could say the same.  It adds a greater challenge to win and I'm fine if I lose from time to time, I've always preferred being the underdog than the person that will do ANYTHING to win.

Talk all the shit you want, my skin is thick as stone.  We'll see if hero party survives their trespassing soon enough.


Also, Mercs please allow up to 3 days for payment.  More battles coming!

Diggle'd imo.

Please show me how you gimped yourself when you attacked us with 300 more troops and warhorses, unless you count using worse players as your handicap


*Edit* Also, we'll more than make it out of your lands alive, we'll keep all the goods you so generously gave us for visiting viking land, thanks for the gift basket we'll be sure to come back

I don't think our gear restrictions matter.

Assuming equal gear quality, and a full roster of competent players, being on attacking side for field battles is always very tough. defenders have huge advantages of usually being able to camp high ground, attackers have to push into it, and defenders get an immediate area # advantage as attackers fall while defenders respawn right into fight. It's rare to see attackers get a 1:1 ratio.

It was a smart move to charge our flags right when we ran out of heavy gear and you still had some. Caught us off guard.

Actually they didn't charge the flags until Xol and I took em down and that was...really just luck.

I spawned on my horse, 5 feet from your spawn. NO GUARDS and the battle lines weren't engaged yet. Therefore, FLAG CAP, just to you know, give you guys some hassle, but XOL was right behind me and, thanks to him, we were able to cap flags with 1 enemy to fight. THen he and I yelled FLAGS DOWN CHARGE CHARGE CHARGE! and Our cavalry literally saved his and my ass from your infantry. As your infantry was still up in the front preparing to engage us all you had free at the moment were cavalry. And our cavalry intercepted yours and saved the day.(and XOL's awesome 2h skills).

I just camped flags with shield don't think i killed anyone after they went down.
So, it was a combination of factors, but the MAIN cause wasn't your armor, gear or otherwise, it was the respawn timer(double ours) that really helped the most.
