Smoothrich in EU again

[Keshian]

To all those Eu people who mentioned how happy they would be to attack such a corrupt bad NA admin, just wanted to let you know we sent him right back to you after 5 days trying to get back here, about 10 minutes from getting back into his city - lol.  feel free to attack him.  Also, he is doing 1 troops and horses so best bet is to have 1 guy do the same and chase him down until his quickmarch ends then kick him out of a fief if need be or just attack him with someone waiting furher ahead.

basically a fun cat & mouse and i think the reward was up to 50K crpg gold, so have fun in the sewer rat hunt.

Kesh the extremes you go through to make strat worse and worse astounds me... I would like to see some actual good battle/sieges... this shit you are pulling is a bunch of crap. I understand you have a personal vendetta against smoothrich can't you put that aside, your killing the community with these shit ass fights. It seems you use every possible exploit of the game you can, which is making strat very undesirable... just sayin bud. Keep it clean for once and get the job done or go down fighting! There is more honor in that then what you have been doing.

STOP BREAKING RP DIPROMACY RULEZ!

I hear ya rebel, but what i'm getting at basically is the crappy sieges as of late... the so called "item bombing". I enjoy the hard fought battles, Win or lose, the ones that come down to the wire. Not being able to get gear that you normally would enjoy using in these fights is getting old. I'm sure most members of the community could agree. I have enjoyed all battles/sieges thus far, but it seems like FCC is exploiting some things that should be fixed in strat, even tho they are very aware of what they are doing and continue to do so. I feel it's kinda like Cheating/Hacking the system. I would prefer them to keep it clean and enjoyable for the rest of the community. Keep the battles coming and earn what you have fought for!

only way to take the city is in waves. We are not doing anything wrong. Sure it sucks that the equipment pile on is happening but we can not be blamed for it. In fact there is nothing we can do about it.

[Keshian]

Never item bombed, just happens when you have battles without clearing your inventory.  Stopping smoothrich from getting back and taking out the 500K gold in the fief is a completely reasonable tactic.  Im sorry you dont have fun, but we are not going to just give him the 500K gold because he cant clear his inventory and was foolish enough to leave his fief.  We have been making every battle a primetime battle and they give you plenty of plate armor and great mauls every fight - have nothing to complain about.

Maybe it's a "dick move" and maybe it's partially fueled by a vendetta...however keeping a fief owner returning to his city (a city that's under siege no less) is a very smart and tactical move.  It doesn't matter why it's being done, just that there is certainly a tactical advantage to keeping a fief without it's owner.

That's why it's SUPA DUPA important to transfer ownership if you ever need to leave your fief.  Never know what could happen.

The item bomb thing is inevitable in a siege for a city.  It would be nice if there was an extra line added to the bottom of the weapon list that had all projectiles as their own category, I think that would alleviate the issue with items being unable to be used.

What's this, Huseby making a completely reasonable and good post? I am not sure how I feel since I am in agreement with that post.

As for these "shit ass fights", I have fought for both sides. Once for FCC, twice for HP(I could only stand DaveUKR's voice so much) and maybe because I am not ranged, they are still fun battles with tons of xp.

[BaleOhay]

Appreciate u saying this. all the others keep acting like we are cheating. as if they would not be doing the exact same if rolls were reversed. We want the city and are trying to take it. getting that 500k would help mitigate some of the expense. Keeping owner out is def making things easier

I just about shit myself when I read huseby's post.  And yea, as far as these shit ass fights, you can blame the devs for designing such a tough city to take and hero party for continually reinforcing the city.  Funny thing is not only are dropping troops in, but more armor too.  This makes it worse for them as they must know its locking more of their weapons away.

[CrazyCracka420]

I can be "enemies" with someone and still see why they would logically do something.  I don't know if you're surprised that I'm being "logical" or if that an enemy is saying something on the forums that lends credibility to the other side...I would hope it's the latter, I try not to come across as too delusional on the forums (despite my misleading forum title)

Any armor that was reinforced is more stuff that the city already has. Doesn't really matter if you have 1,000 or 10,000 mongol armors as far as gear being locked down.

you forget you used those armors and made them broken, but then you put in +3 plate armor and it adds back a whole new item.  Still have plenty of great mauls and plate - all you really need for a siege.  We never item bombed but we have attacked 4 times now and its the natural process shit gets used and you get more items as different equipment is used.  We are teleporting smoothrich because one of the benefits of being defenders is you get fed endless amounts of expensive gear which can equip all your armies, so if we cans top you from getting it out we can get millions of gold worth of gear in addition to the 500K gold.  of course since its fcc and me and its hero party and smoothrich its some evil conspiracy to screw you guys over - well keep playing with your smoothrich conspiracies like you always do and ignore the facts;

All you have to do to item bomb a  fief is directly transfer the gear into the city - we never did that
Most of our armies have had 100-120 item types, only the first one didnt, it was down to 190 after we sold 70 different item types because it was our shittya my leftover from wiping out shik who had atatcked a village with crap gear - sole purpose was to probe the walls and find out best way to atatck it while not giving a bunch of great gear to defenders or wasting good gear on a failed assault as we figured out where to catapult and set up forward bases having never attacked this city before and having our last city attack have a MAJOR bug in it
Amount of crates means nothing unless its open field battle and you are trying to weigh them down so they cant get away, its number of item types that relates to inventory issues


i understand a bunch of you are rabid in the mouth hating us (obvious from your posts), but we made no attempt to item bomb, we were just aware that teleporting smoothrich would screw over his management of the city because he couldn't trust any of his own faction enough to transfer the fief and we have done our best to take it with increasingly shinier armies as defenders get all the gear of attackers so attacking with +3 gear to start gives them really expensive +1 gear for the next siege.  So #2 and #3 were primarily normal quality gear or +1 gear but still only 100-120 item types.  Please stop withthe smoothrich conspiracy theories and just complain to developers about the bug about inventory that needs to be fixed.
