NA took Fisdar... Pretty much sure that is 100% of what we wanted from EU. Thus ends the debate. NA has won strat, grats peasants!
Good point - NA invaded EU first Heskey, I know you really support Eu because you live there, but under what you just said NA is the stronger side. And for us being under-populated? really? Occitan hasnt done anything all strat so they have 80K garrisons, even with losing 270K troops fighting we still have 80K too, mb and tkov have another 100K between them. No way would this be cakewalk for you just because tulga has less than hospies castle which has 18K.
You may outnumber us 2:1 and wear us down eventually but i have a feeling you would just burn yourselves out dying on castle and city walls and killing like 700-800 on defenders side each time because of ping difference with equal quality mercs on both sides (i can tell you from experience fighting Mercs and DRZ in strat 2 this is what happens, both sides get burned out with the ping difference and shitty times, but its not as bad for defenders).
And that 1800 thing never works - its the same problem we have in NA we used to be an all-around faction but now fcc does really great in sieges but more so-so in open field battles because we have so few cav players left, basically if one side is able to get more mercs to show up using classes that are less affected by ping like cavalry and ranged and strength polearm builds then they will do better. And any merc pool would likely accept the "best" players from each side that actually can make a random time fo the day battle, which means team compositions would pretty much be luck of the draw with the winner being whoever got more top quality cav, polearms and ranged to overcome ping difference.
