Heavy lances with rondel s on donkey back.
We're all nerds here, so it doesn't really matter.

This is why most people got off their donkeys and started shanking with the rondels, or just piking with the heavy lances.

It wasn't not fun, but also not the best event we've ever had.  XP was quite a bit lower than usual (I only made 18).  Arbs seem to be the key to good XP.

I don't know I found it was still easy to get lance kills from the donkeys the only problem was finding a runway you could speed your donkey up on. Pretty much abandoned donkeys everywhere not to mention the forward spawns were completely surrounded. Still a hilarious fight.

Not every battle will be arbalests.  They are expensive, and sometimes I like to try new things.

That said, we obviously need troops still, a castle or city would be damn nice, and we will take arbalest donations in any condition as long as they are in fairly large stacks.  So if you see me moving around warzones, I'm picking up arbalest donations, not reinforcing or privateering.

I think the key to high xp is tons of murder-death-kill.  I'm no expert though. 

I would suggest using maybe morningstars, or long bardiches.  Cheaper options might be long voulge, battle axe/war axe, or maybe even something like fighting pick or spiked club for 1hs.

It's not my call though.  I'm just glad to come along on this crazy ride. :)

just dropped 171 troops btw.

But that's like every battle ever.

Oh I see what you mean.  Morninstars and bardiches are in most other strat battles, but I never see those cheaper weapons.  I like the war axe.  It looks goofy as hell and no one ever uses it.

If this can be used on the back of a swaybacked-donkey -- even better!

I think if donkey's are used again, there should be no dismounting and no spawn raping.

Its hard to find a good balance of having a fun set of equipment without giving anyone a huge staggering advantage.  In all reality, 2H are probably the last players I want to give an advantage too.  It's impossible to give archers an advantage, without providing bows.  But then its a guessing game for me on how many archers will show up, and how many bows will be used.  I think the majority of the battles will be arbalest(s)+something else.  This gives everyone a chance to get some kills, especially those without any PS, while providing a ton of EXP because arbs are expensive.  It also doesn't give crossbowmen too much of an advantage, because they can't reload afterwards.

Also, someone will always be unhappy, because this is CRPG and everyone loves to complain!

If you spawn with a arb on horse/donkeyback you can shoot it, only once. I recommend we spawn with 2 arbs and a rondel on donkeys... tons of fun.. tons of exp.. donkeys. donkeys everywhere.

Really fun and unique event. Sure the XP was lower than the other events, but that battle produced some truly great moments. The initial donkey knight lineup and charge made me wet. Thanks MURDERTRON and MURDERTRON supporters.

In order to gain entry to this truly amazing battle, you meet a few requirements:
1.  Have 14 strength and show your stats in the application.  In order to wear all the armor and use all the weapons, you must have 14 strength.

Heavy armoured donkey battles call for morningstars if you ask me.
For while the fire in the heart of a single Remnant still burns... can Stratia truly have fallen?
