You will have to excuse Finnian, he's just feeling frustrated. He's put a lot of time an effort into building a strat faction from nothing only to have it stomped on by the big-kids in the playground. Yes, Crpg is about having battles and fun, but thats hard if you get stomped before you can build up the resources to have glorious xp slaughter-fests. When you are small clan farming your own troops and doing your own trade runs without the aid of gear-bugs or a larger player base, you put a lot of heart into what you create.
That said, declaring war on us makes sense. CC has superior odds and resources, Sungetche Castle is an important strategic position and is a great stepping stone for further expansion against CC's enemies. I understand how proxy-wars and strategic maneuvering work. We just happen to be the Belgium that stands between you and France. Although, we feel a bit more like Finland vs. Soviet Union.
Who cares if it is fair? Well, because we all want to have fun on the game. But it seems like mercs tend to sign up for who they think will win. I have no problem fighting a superior faction 10 times our size, but I'd at least like to have enough of a decent roster to make it an entertaining battle! Can you blame anyone for wanting a fun battle? Isn't that why we all play this game?
Anyways, enough talking. Odds be damned, we will fight. See you on the field.
