I don't think I've protected any of the banned players, hell I didn't even play for months now.
And we're talking about this strategus, not how you got decimated by Americans and then UIF helped you up by using you as proxy?
I'm not entirely sure where you are pulling the 4k crates out from but lol ok, if you say so.
Occitan is a nice faction with nice people, I don't see the problem?
I personally quit a long time ago, I just hold a fief and sit in Sargoth simply because I'm easy to contact.
After getting thrown over by bugs, and other allies leaving because of bugs, there really is no point in fighting, in the end our army will probably dissappear anyway, so wasting tons of hours just to have it wiped because of glitches isn't really fun, don't know if you liked losing armies etc. This is why the Nords would quit, none of us are interested in losing entire armies on weekly basis.
Steamroll succesful for 3 strats, could've happened in strat 4, too bad that there is too much bias on the opposite side that even chadz fell for the UIF hate propaganda and suddenly glitches strike every week.
Honestly if you can't see that losing half your army every week to strat glitches is not making the game interesting to play then that would be dumb.
