Heskey, you play long enough to know better than this.
And i love how organised and planned Greys are, i was really looking forward to fighting you for that reason. But the way you fight now you can't claim you're winning through good planning, right now you're winning through numbers. Beating us at the grind-game.
Strategus IS - to some extent - a grind game. Complaints should be addressed to devs. Besides, does it really require so much to realize that? Resources are equally important as actual fights. No resources = no fights. Shitty management = shitty gear, shitty battles. Strategus not Moronus. Numbers of what? Players? Not really, if you count carefully.
If you don't want to capture the whole map, why are you playing like this? Your approach this map seems determined to wipe the rest of us off the map so you have nothing to fight later. Call us whiny pussies now, but if you succede in killing all competition we all know who'll be crying about it months later.
Playing like what? Did we run attacks on any of our neighbours? Did we run any attacks on anyone who did not attacked us first? No. It may change over time, but I really cant see what leads you to this conclusion.
No, we attacked Shogun and the first round of attacks went well, then Greys and Druz came to bail out Shogun and capture their fiefs for safekeeping before re-transferring. We couldn't fight Shogun alone with Greys looming over it. So we attacked Greys, and then Druzhina come in from behind. We can't commit fully against Greys with Druzhina looming over us. And guess what, even if we managed all your factions, Kapi haven't even committed yet, so guess who's gonna attack us/bail you out in the ridiculous scenario where we begin winning vs Greys and Druz?
I do not agree. You could. If you played that smart. We did not do much in that case. Some diplomacy (real one, not forum war songs), some preventive moves and these attacks could turn out different. Instead you went out crying war cries, and moved like a barbarian horde in one direction. Diplomacy is a part of the game. Shogunate turned out better than you in that case. Economic warfare is a part of a game too. I can't see much of it. Strategus not Moronus.
Ah, you did not have resources for multiple direction attacks? Who told you to attack as soon as you get your first hatchet on +3?
You do work hard, you do strive to be organised and strong, i know it, i've seen how incredibly organised and good at the game you are, but you'll never ever get any recognition for it because you're just seen as Druzhina's bitches. Your hard work is wasted, because you have no reason to work hard when you outnumber us as much as you do.
We are seen as Druzhina's bitches? I do not feel to bitchy to be honest. You underestimate "U" and "I" in "UIF". Outnumbered? Not true. Count it for yourself.
Well I think it is clear that nobody is autistic enough to form a mega-block to fight DRZ and GO again, so I think it is safe to assume that Strategus 5 is over. Congratulations on the win and congratulations on killing Strategus.
It is a lil' bit premature, don't you think?. But all you can see that Sun Tsu was right: "Every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought." Clearly you lost yours in your mind already.
