Corsair, i love you man, i find you very attractive but that's not just an option for us. We don't want to build up and get destroyed later so UIF can have more fun. We rather do it now and either bring them down or fail and uninstall the game and get a life. Haha, just kidding, we won't do that. But as it is right now, i would not call it fun which is the entire reason we all play. UIF can dominate the map for all i care.
i mean this is strategus, what do you expect
strat is just like most other 4x rts games, you need to tech, if you attack it gives you a disadvantage, it seems pointless going straight for a do - or - die peasant rush ... not really any point in playing strat if you rely solely on equipment you can acquire in the first month .. :3
also, is it just me or was shogunate the only bloody clan to loom early/mid game gear ?! i saw kalmar had some mail shirt with fur +3 which was nice but i've not seen any decent mid tier weapons from ANY OTHER FACTION lol
does no one realise that +3 pitchfork is 26 pierce damage and 92 speed for 3 gold ?!
that +3 falchions have 33 cut and 0 slots
hell, even +3 leather gloves i would've expected everyone to get
i mean every none-shogunate/kalmar battle i've fought in the gear's been utter rubbish lol, UIF is using SIMPLE SWORDS (+0) for god's sake lol (27 cut)
gimme a break lol ..
Y NO ONE LOOM STUFFS :3
------------------------
i do actually have a point here. when you heirloom a weapon to +3 it gets a fixed 3 damage increase and usually some speed. that means that heirlooming the cheaper weapons is giving you a higher % increase vs. higher cost weapons.
now i'm not saying a +3 falchion is going to be as good as a +3 soldier's cleaver, but 33 cut 98 speed 80 length vs. 36 cut 98 speed 92 length isn't such a big difference that you can't beat an army that has 3 x your gold. (falchion is 1/3 the price)
what i'm trying to say is that even if DRZ/GO have 3x your econ, just heirloom some weapons and armours that are inside your price range and fight back!!
take castles, heirloom some weapons within your price bracket, and kick their ass!
