Nothing new! The most epic NA battle just happened. After a rather confusing maneuvering of armies, with red herrings thrown in our way and rather intense decisions concerning targets, especially considering time zones (stupid time zones- why don't all C-Rpg players move to the west Coast?), the Squids and yours truly met in the field.
I do think it was a little unfair that they were defenders, as I'm sure it was a mutual consent fight. But, for all who missed this most epic, awesome battle, let me tell you this: it was epic and awesome.
A bloody river separated us, which is a risk we expected, but also, what was unexpected, the Squids had roster support. Equal armies! WTF! Not appreciated, people. I would understand if it was just Acre fellows, but this was a 13 Knight battle! Being so beloved, we expected everyone to sign for us, including most of the squids. But, rather than being the easy victory we expected, we were actually defeated!
But what a wonderful defeat! There were crazy charges on the left, the right, flags were taken on each side before whichever defenders rallied. The bloody Squid shield wall held strong, advances were repulsed, last second spawns changed the face of battle. Pushing, repulsing, colliding, the all important range being chased or else slaughtering Agincourt style the advancing infantry. Oh, and did I mention the cavalry? Thrice armoured as their riders, they lived to fight on for both sides, switching teams several times.
All in all it was awesome10. And anyone who wasn't there was a loser. I was there, and I lost, and played crappily, but I am still less of a loser than all you losers who passed on this brilliant battle.
And Kudos to the Squids. Nice tactics, good teamwork, and some brilliant individual players. Shame we ran out of time. It was bloody, but should have been bloodier. Oh well, let's do it again tomorrow.
