The First Crusade (Seriously, let's invade EU).

[CrazyCracka420]

The problem with NA Strategus at the moment is that the large clans like MB, Occitan, Acre aren't attacking other factions, only AI castles, and noone cares about signing up for random AI because theres no chance of winning (ok maybe you can defend a fief 1 battle, but then they take it right after so it achieves nothing) really it would be a whole lot better for everyone if those factions would stop giving out spoilers attack eachother instead of other AI but obviously thats never gonna happen. Until all the AI castles are taken everyone should just get used to  and deal with it for a few months because the Big Factions aren't gonna change what they are doing.

That never happened in strat 3 when AI fiefs were the same.  It was usually inevitable that the attackers would eventually win, but you could get "good" battles and good xp defending AI castles/cities in strat 3.  Now that you can sign up anonymously it puzzles me why there's so few people actually doing so.  Strat just has a lot less people actively signing up for battles than it did the last couple of years.

All these reasons you're giving are reasons why this is going to be awesome.

I agree w/ imisshotmail that we aren't going to be able to do much until most of the AI fiefs are captured. Give it a month or so. But once that happens, NA could potentially coordinate some major S&D movement and would be fun to gear out some ridiculous armies and just roll up in EU like this: 

And be like "'sup now bitches?".

And the XP battle league proposal... should be taken with a little sodium (NA, lol). This will be my last strat. Whatever happens, I want to cause some drama.

Is that you guys in grey in the top-right of the NA map? Definately an enviable position (max distance from EU).

Lol

Yeah, our faction is Wardens of the North, comprised of Black Company, The Ward of Mithrim, Hounds of Chulain, and the Knights Hospitaller. We have many buy fiefs and sell fiefs. Maybe we make a deal? We could meet near new tulbuk castle for a goods swap? PM for details or add me on Steam "vanderkaum037".

Earth to Sandy, why would we finish you off in strat? We have bigger fish in the sea to throw ink at.

Bigger fish to ink? Who would they be?

I don't mean to say it's silly or stupid or unintelligent to wipe us. I mean, we're as big as you are, with almost certainly fewer active strat players, and CERTAINLY fewer allies. I reckon if we attacked an AI fief it wouldn't be 45v20. I imagine it'd be more like 40v40. There are a lot of big coalitions on the map right now, and we aren't exactly friendly with any of them. Well, by a lot I mean wardens and acre.

You could wipe us by yourselves, sure. It wouldn't get you much of anything, so I can see why you wouldn't do it.

Still, I ask you; who the fuck is opposed to you besides us? Acre? Hell naw. Wardens? You've got an agreement as far as I know. Those are the two largest factions on the map. Special education militia? You see that they just got 30 mercs against 50 in that last battle? What threat are they?

Unless you're looking to go hard on LCO, who is doing god knows what, who the fuck are you talking about?

To be fair, they did apparently spoil GoT for some lads... got their just deserts I'd say.

Seriously though, for at least an entire day after they made that post, NA1 was full of people talking shit about gforce nonstop, saying they will never merc for them again, etc etc. Nerds be lovin their GoT.

 What does it matter to you? I'm sorry Sandy, I didn't think you wanted me that much. I'm blushing hehehe . . As far as I'm concerned about you wanting to know our plans...Non of your Ink wax!

I'm a forking nerd, m8. EVERYTHING in strat matters to me.

I try not to think about it too much or I might become aware of my own autism. You know, like when the machines become self-aware in The Matrix or Terminator? Kinda like that.

But worse.
