" and they totally made us paranoid"

"They didnt crate chaos for anyone out of UIF."

Wait what? :/

Cicero and his clan BashiBazouk were part of the UIF.

I'm sure somewhere deep inside you understand why GRANDMOM.

Like someone told me recently (I think it sums it up real nice), strategus never ends, not even between rounds, its only a pause between the same players who will continue what they were doing before.
We have to deal with it and try to "fix" it in our own way, or go with the flow, or do both 

How come you dont see the current strategus as an opportunity to do just that?

Your crusade was the first big war.
The second big war is coming and you can still do what you wanted to, you dont even have to manage a big ass alliance yourself, its already there and waiting for you.

Yes, I understand why but it was the biggest challenge so I had to try - we failed to unite enough clans, make people forget about past grudges and make them believe and trust in each other - and thats that

Strategus does end, all things end - this game is over, why because the UIF won it. No, they havent completely killed everyone on the map, but they are victors. Right now they are waiting for the opposition to get stronger so there will be some sort of fight, in my book when an adversary does that it means its over. If he can win but choses not to because he wants more out of it before killing his opponent it is over. The cat playing with the mouse before killing it.

There was an oppurtunity, when UIF wasnt as strong as it is now, and the gap between the two blocks was small - I am not in for playing a strategygame where my side of the team settles with just having some "fun" battles, or hoping to finish strat with one or two castles because the opponents cant be arsed to take them - and by holding them claiming some sort of "victory" for their clan.

The second "big" war will be a small war, over in a flash IF the UIF wants it to be, adding a tired Granny to it wont change that

Give me 30-40 guys that actually want to win the round, dedicated and active under the same banner - then we could start talking

I take the bets. Start showing the money!

Must be funny being in UIF and reading this thread

I can definitly tell you that they dont have fun in this strategus.

They are playing trade simulator.

[Harpag]

Wataga - biggest pain in the ass ever!

[Butan]

I hope they geared the fiefs accordingly though    50% of a victory in strategus is from logistic.

Nevermind.

[Kalitorian]

Nevermind.

Dramug and Radoghir are difficult to defend even if you have good EQ. So we decided to not waste too much EQ on those castles.
We have better EQ in Reyvadin, Curaw, Wercheg and Rindyar.

[Cicero]

Give the amount of the gear , also where u gonna defend most and which side gonna be best for enemy.

Ah i was going to forget can you re take it if they capture ?

[Butan]

I hope so Kalitorian, because I was feeling desesperate from a player point of view yesterday 

Are you sure those cities are better defense positions? On average (except for a few like Dhirim) castles are easier to control.
Anyway, lets continue to have as good rosters as we did !

Tilbaut and Rindyar are the 2 most DEFENSIBLE FIEFS in the damn game. Dhirim is a pretty close contender for those, but Dhirim can be taken easily enough if you gear your army SPECIFICALLY with short weapons with high damage.

The two castles though, are on the other side of the shit to take. Gotta have enough ladders, catapults and seige gear to fund an assault on 3 other easier targets.

In our defenses of Tilbaut, the squids brought over 700 ladders in 4 battles and never really had enough. they went through 2 catapults in 1 siege and 3 in the fourth and were only able to get the wall in 1 siege down to half way. In the fourth siege the catapults didn't get a single shot off.

Rindyar is just as bad and you can put up some ladders blocking access to entire sections of the wall in one stroke. Catapults don't work due to tons of other shit and bad terrain.

Good luck taking Rindyar. it's a 2:1 k/d place easily. If it wasn't for the third siege, we did 2:1 except the third siege that they managed to pummel the wall down somewhat.

Dhirim can be taken easily enough if you gear your army SPECIFICALLY with short weapons with high damage.

That only works against AI or a player who sin't smart enough to do the same on defender's side and is usually short on mercs.  If defenders' have short weapons, especially crush-through and equal number of mercs - then its worse than both.  Often can't even use all the tickets because doorway is so slow to pass through.

Too late.

Respect to UIF, they got better at every aspect of this game including battles than everyone else.

Embedded, bitter, personality issues and some people simply not interested in a 2 block war meant this was 1 strat too far.

Alot of the guys not in the UIF never realised that being cunning is often being very stupid.

I propose that all of the NA clans unite and invade EU with the intent of crushing the UIF and liberating Strategus. We can be like those guys in Lord of the Rings at the end when they go to the bad place and make the big circle. We can do LoTR, but we can do it gayer.

We can do it gayer.

This will be our battle cry.
