EU strat is only enough for 2 blocks. If there would be at list 500 ppl playing strat then it could be enough for 5 blocks.
We did out best not to take anymore allies, drz wanted for byz to be on enemy side from start too, not because we dislike Great General Corsair
) but because drz, go and kapi can fill one roster, well right now we can't even fill one roster, 6-10 pleayers are outsiders all the time. Holidays and all.
We didn't take Bashi back, even though we had no problems with them and only good times in past. We didn't take ODE or agreed on anything with Corp or other factions. Just so there is only us having one roster.
Most cunning leader of drz Vovka didn't play this round
And when u came with 25k we got worried, and thought of at list 2-3 different plans u could have to really make our life difficult. But either u give up on those plans with your siege armies, or it was too difficult to coordinate so many players on the map, for some reason nothing happened.
This is ur first big operation and a lot can be learned from it.
And whatever everyone saying i think attack at the start was good idea, but maybe should have been done a bit differently or kept to one target or more as skirmish, would depend on situation.
And u did very good on Byzantium. Good strategy while everyone running around trading, u blocked fief owners far from their villages with armies and equip making them useless.
Strat win doesn't give anything to anyone. Do you see any DRZs screaming on any forums how happy they are at the end of every strat?
We just want wars, raids, strategy on map and so on, like at the beginning of strat. And we want to be with GO, we almost like extension of eachother, same ts, same ideas, same ppl for many years.
As for map, we don't need anything except desert. All fiefs north we take and leave empty now or later.
If u tired and bored then don't play, we will find something to do. Or u can learn and improve and play for fun. And most important - train morale!
