I managed to get 14k troops in 2-3 weeks by myself- it just takes some dedication.
Through strategus ticks only? I never bought with cRPG gold/looms anything in strategus, that was allways a grey area to me. Even buying troops with Strategus gold seemed always a bit wrong and i did it normaly only when i was offered them. I know of a few clans, that they were able to aquire huge numbers of troops that way, i dont. Is that better then giving those who participate the chance to get XP and well "participate", not up to me to judge that, i just offer it.

I havent seen those parties, as i am rarely monitoring anything anymore on Strategus. How long is it now since the 1/3 rule has been changed? Pfff i remember some dudes bragging "and when that is changed then we will attack XY". Not only eu1 is dying i guess.
So while yes i offer my incredible talents
to organize some stuff, whereby it is more the time investment and biting down frustrations, then my superior Strategical skills i would say, which could be a benefit maybe some knowledge which those who join wouldnt have also. Anyone who would accept the offer, knows from the start what to expect. Not like anything is kept in the dark, like 'mmm perhaps we join the alliance perhaps not, mmm we dont have war anymore ... no we wont join we stay neutral ... what you must have misunderstood nomnomnom'
It is late in the game with established factions and their territory. It is not the first time mentioned, that a reset may come and it is with further progressing time it becomes more likely. You guys taunt me about trying to get something organized or "how" i would gather some stuff together to make some fights while most things seem to be in a stalement.... really?
I didnt expect those who already dislike, disrespect or are discruntled to join in to share their stuff, so why are you talking? Dragging effort into the dirt .... wow indeed. If that is the base sentiment of what i have to expect in M:BG/E:BG i cant wait for it
I do hope, that the diplomacy in the new game will be somewhat automated, so that perhaps some of this serriousness can be replaced by playfullness. Overall i get more and more the impression that strategus is not good for anything other then getting frustrated a lot .. quite like 50%+ ranged my old friends on the eu servers.
@Vovka
so much for first agreed on free passage. Anyhow, we will try to give a good fight.
