This is why Knights who say Ni stopped going to one of our allied clan battles (Templars was it? cant remember) because one of their guys who was leading the battle asked us to bring ladders in one of the sieges and when we brought the ladders to the walls and asked him what are we supposed to do with them he just started shouting to stfu and that we are noobs for taking his ladders (he actually did it several times), so we were like what? fuck this shit Im out....
People dont realize we dont have to be there, we dont have to help, thats why you either have to have a very big clan or you actually have to be friendly to enough people on strat to get your rosters filled, going to their battles and stuff.
On the other hand people going to other ones battle should expect to fall under command of the guy doing the roster, because just going to the battle does not help itself, you can join 10 battles a day and still have everyone hate you simply because your participation in the battle does not in any way contribute to the victory of your side. For example dont expect the commander to be nice to you if you dont listen to his orders and just run into the enemies or go AFK right at the beginning.
When I was commanding one of the capital cities defence with randomers few weeks ago (last week I think) I was cheering everyone up, giving commands for the different sides to cover and when ppl didnt listen, I just called them stupid cunts and suddenly everyone was reading the commands again
Its the sugar and whip, sometimes ppl need the whip for a second to realize this is a teamwork battle, not a K/D hunt. The sugar then makes them feel appreciated for their teamwork which definitely boosts their performance. And we actually won since everyone united and we were all working as a team (apart from some asshole that kept opening the gate). At the beginning we were winning by 200 tickets, we got to the point where we were losing by 20 tickets but since everyone was excellent in their roles (poles destroying ladders, axemen destroying siege tower from the roof, archers shooting CSs and forward spawn, shielders splitting enemies into smaller groups and covering the spaces in the walls) we won with 260 more tickets and I must say it was one of the most epic defences for me
Long story short if you make sure you are enjoying the game, you are most likely making it enjoyable for the others as well, if you feel frustrated about the progress of the battle and you are leading, you should man up and take the responsibility for your team, in the end it was you who has done the roll call, who has chosen the players in your team and it was you, who was supposed to be leading them and if you feel like they were not doing their best to win the battle, you can simply choose not to invite them for your next battles.
On the other hand guys it is not the K/D that makes you the heroes of the battlefield, it is the fact that you can all act like one, cover each other, listen to orders and most definitely being a valuable part of the team, e.g. if youre a pikeman and you go 3 v 1 guy and you hear a horse nearby you dont chase that one kill for your score board, you look around and possibly prevent any cav from charging your group.
