Hounds of Chulainn ceasefire and trade blockade raised on Occitan

[BoneSaw]

The Hounds of Chulainn will be lifting the desert trade blockade and honoring a self imposed ceasefire with the Occitans today. Due to our newly formed independence and neutrality we would like to negotiate an official end of conflict with our long time enemies the Occitans and their allies. To be honest the war with Occitan has been the most stale, boring, lifeless experience we have ever encountered in our 2+ years of doing crpg strategus and almost made us quit due to the absolute boring atmosphere they have created. I beg that Occitans take our ceasefire and just go away for rest of this strat. For real, please just go away. You're not fun to fight or Role play with so I'm taking my toys and going elsewhere. If you want to continue this pointless and obviously boring war, be my guest. Otherwise let the bells ring for two days straight in honor of the tens of thousands of men that have fallen in this less than fun war and enjoy your peace like me.  ~BoneSaw the Cruel Drunk

Well 50,000 seconds would be about 13 hours, and as an outside merc, I didn't think the war was stale or boring...most of my fun this strat has come from fighting in occitan vs VE battles (maybe not most, but probably close to half)

Well Hiding behind bugged castle walls will always be fun for the defenders.

I believe Bonesaw is talking about Wheyya castle
wave after wave, killing there tickets, but then to see that they still have a shitload of tickets hidden in there castle, to show up when the next wave is hitting there walls
to be honnest, yes, it is boring, especially when you see that they have 20 men, generating tickets only in that castle allone, using the gear from previeus assaults,
We know that Occitan get help from EU, and prolly of Hospitallers that are still in there former fiefs, owned by Occitan now
But all by all, i don't think bonesaw see this ceasefire as a defeat, just its pointless to fight against an enemy that just dig in, and still has a shitload of troops hidding.

For me personaly, i do hope Occitan accept this ceasefire

tldr version = "We're tired of losing"

I am all for peace...but your "stale, boring, lifeless experience" reflects the organization and leadership of your clan not ours. Oh and as the invaders, its up to you to discontinue the "pointless and obviously boring war", we didn't pick this fight you did.

Well Hiding behind bugged castle walls will always be fun for the defenders.

Stop being a poor sport, New Hawaha has no "bugged castle walls" and we managed to hold you off for five 1k+troops battles(Props to Bernie/Forsvar for the good fights/exp).

I must say that from the perspective of someone that almost always merc'd for Occitan (nothing against HoC, simply enjoyed their style of leadership a bit more) this war was really enjoyable.

I am just happy that i dont have to attack F**K**G weyyah castle again. that castle is so tough to take.

Try attacking Rindyar Castle...there's only one "low" wall, and the defenders can easily put a ladder across the top and block the attackers from putting up ladders to the wall.

It wasn't our clan creating the experience that was lifeless, we were not in charge of the battles.

I'm sure it's real fun not having to deal with a castle that completely regarrisons itself after each battle with it's own troops and our gear. Sitting on a wall with a maul. Shooting a xbow. Meanwhile, we are stuck with not being able to spawn contruction sites for two of our sieges.

I think what you guys are really missing here is that HoC never had the chance to run our own battles... Now that you are informed, I must now educate you on why we thought this war was a terrible experience.
1. Stereotypical bullshit merc answer of "I like their leadership more but really meaning I like easy defense mode" makes me cringe. tl:dr "I have no respect for this clan and want to make it public while I shout out how good I am off the castle walls."
2. HoC taking the full blame for the sieges failing and being singled out as being a worthless cannon fodder clan (great description, must have taken ages to come up with that one).
3. Being the only clan in the empire actually involved in the front while certain other ally is completely inactive.
There are several other reasons why, but you guys and gals shouldn't know of these things.

Now then, as we are now a separate entity we are no longer the attackers, contrary to the prior sieges. We are waiting for occitan's move. If they want us to continue the war, we shall.

Cracka is just noticed you're a fellow Minnesotan! You just got like 100 cool points from me! Minnesotans will rule the world one day!

[BADPLAYER_old2]

You guys should probably attack Fimbulvetr so you have people of equal skill to fight, it must be boring continually fighting players that outclass you. Condolences.

On fair grounds in a field battle, we have won every single battle so far in our last war with you and your allies.

In fact, I remember taking a plate army down with tribal warrior outfits and being outnumbered.

For the record, that was not done with intention to block your ladders but was put up to allow access to turrets (the large keep turret doesn't have a staircase inside for roof access). We didn't even find out that was a major issue for you until after.

But yeah I don't find that Occitan castle to be too bad compared to many castles, although it does get very tedious fighting the same map over and over. The devs should really add a "siege camp" feature where you can starve out castles that have like 10k troops inside and force them to breakout it would make strat more dynamic cuz right now it's too stacked for defenders.

[Duster]

So.... you attacked occitan, failed to destroy them for 4 months, and are now giving up because they're defending well. That's what you meant when you said "we're tired of this boring and lifeless war".
