Corsair's response to Kalmarunion invasion

[GRANDMOM]

What are we discussing here?

Quincies and Kalmars started this war
Shogunate asked GO for help - got 500 men in ushkuru from GO
We asked people to join in - some did and some didnt dare (funny thing, the small guy, bandits, traders, loners decided to help out while the clans didnt sofar)
We had the initiative and used it - worked out well
Right now SHoggies are down to basically 2 fiefs out of 8 after 3 days of war
Blitzkrieg is now over - and the next 2-3 days will decide if we manage to do what we set out to do

Its war

after you've undergone a week being attacked by 50 clans (including some bloody NA clans, i dont know who i pissed off to achieve that one), it's not unreasonable to get a little help

What NA clans attacked you?

[Teeth]

Meh Corsair is being a little girl, we got attacked half a dozen time by people that were seemingly unaffiliated with our known enemies, one of them was Lemon who is in MurderBoner.

[SirCymro_Crusader]

we offered to pay mercs several times, they refused citing other contracts

We got a much more secure contract :3 one that pays more than you offered sorry corsair but i'm a capitalist pig this strategus

However, we were offered a village for usage of our troops, we were offered gold (crpg and strat) to sell troops. The only thing we have signed over is contract support and that was for one week after that week is up, again we are up for grabs.

Using that logic it is 30 vs 89 now as Kalmar have you under contract. However, my count does not represent roster support, which has been pretty good for us, but Strat players that are engaging in Strat based activities like recruiting, trading or attacking.

Still only 30 v 59 as none of the mercenaries have helped with troops recruitment, equipment or anything else. We're too busy trying to convert the farmers of emirin into sheep lovers - not going well from my perspective

[Butan]

so please people stop saying that we're "uif puppets" etc etc, it's pretty disrespectful to the hard work we put in to become as strong as we are with a MUCH smaller player base than most of the other big clans

Diplomatic disrespect is #1 tool of propaganda in strat    unfortunately, whatever you really are you are branded either anti or pro-UIF, there is no middle ground, or very few, and its hard to get there.

[GRANDMOM]

I know what you mean about Stalingrad xD that gentle slope of Ushkuru sure felt a lot steeper with all the Shogun Samurai archers. I dislike battles where both sides entrench and pew pew each other whilst the melee hide so it was pure yolo charge with no ranged from our side and them archers hurt. Kudos to all the 'archers' with The Brigade who had their first brutal taste of fighting as shieldless infantry in a Strat battle xD

'You're all infantry now'
Kesh, The Battle of Ushkuru 2014

I was disappoint that you didn't have your full Samurai gear though i wanted much honourable death

Yeah, i don't enjoy that attitude, it doesn't make the game any more fun for anyone cos quite rightly if you take insults you'll dish them out too and it makes for a bad atmosphere.

The party you defeated at Ushkuru consisted only of troops and silver that the individual who initiated the attack had gathered himself.

True dat - heskeytimes monstergeararmy was his from shoe to helmet, he is a true hero of this war

As is Gimest and madman who had mostly their own things aswell, not sure exactly what we gave them and what they had themselfs - it dont matter, the devotion and the sacrificial manner of which our guys fight this war has none to do with personal gain....

All do it to get a chance to shagg queen Margerete, and who can blame them?

[Harpag]

Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF Grey Order UIF ... wtf?

Blame only me for our everlasting policy: "who is not with us - is against us"   + stop divagations about priority chicken and egg ... Just deal with it.

BTW - we don't have anything to do with this war (so far) and our support is in the best case symbolic. Keep QQ to time when when we really join the action 

[Gurnisson]

Gurnisson, I remember quite a few battles where you raped us as 1H cav too

Can't remember, thought I played all field battles for you a 1h cav!

[Mr.K.]

Can't remember, thought I played all field battles for you a 1h cav!

Unfortunately not. I still get bad dreams about you hitting me in the back of the head with a military hammer

[phnxhdsn]

Baadd idea to go out drinking with friends last night.. now everything's fucked ^^ But yeah I've enjoyed most of these battles and it's been fun, tiring and stressful

unfortunately Heskey we were going to buy much more samurai armor so all armies had it but 120k got stolen from me because of a bug.. and bits got stolen and stuff

GG

[phnxhdsn]

Yeah you make a good point They were stressful because they were at all times and i stayed up on a couple nights to fight the 4am battles with the NA, but fuck I've played like 20battles in 3days ^^

I made a Rage post about the bug:P I entered a castle with my goods after i had been attacked by a non-faction random, but Arn managed to attack me whilst i was in the castle or something 1minute after I entered so i lost 120k gold worth of goods..

[phnxhdsn]

Yeah pretty sure that was it, Also the first 4am battles were initiated at like 12pm and got pushed back but then GRANDMOM decided to attack more at 7am and 9am etc ^^

Also: I think I'm gonna try out lone strat and see how far i can get just to mix things up

[GRANDMOM]

I apologize for the decision to attack on my early battle - I checked the smartphone before going of to work - saw an army moving towards the clusterfuck of battles below Amere and had like 30 secs to decide wether to attack or not, I guessed he was going for someone of our less equipped lads so I pressed qm and charged him to stop him doing whatever he was suppose to do.

Again sorry, this is no explanation - just describing it how it went down

[Butan]

Surprisingly easy once you know all the mechanics, and much more rewarding than being in a faction (and far less neurotic than trying to lead one).

You dont even know what you're talking about
