Squids Declare war on Kalmar Union

[Holiday203]

You don't?  Let's see...

Merc Contract with Marauders, and subsequently merged...

Merc Contract with KBW, expired, though many still sign...

Merc Contract with Her Britannic Majestys Royal Armed Forces, still ongoing.

What are you missing?  You piss on LCO, you've openly gone to war with Acre, Astralis, and Frisia..  You are above and beyond the only ones responsible for your merc support.  You've even openly bitched at other factions for signing up to help someone take an AI fief.  Geeze.  You reap what you sow my friend.

CAUTION! Do not attack asstralis or they will forever bitch and moan on the forums at you til the end of time. Butt hurt little baby moonshine.

This thread and the battles I've been mercing for are the veritable proof that NA strat is much weaker than EU's one. When I saw Kalmar's stuff, and what I've been fighting against, I wonder how many time would druzhina spend at taking the totality of the map if they wanted to. They got the totality of NA silver themselves, and almost as much troops, tickets and so on. I'd say around 2 months to take everything, 3 or 4 months if there is actually an alliance of every american clan.

Disclaimer : never said anything about any conquest of the map, just an observation.

On topic, I'd say Kalmars should be taken seriously, since even with 120/130 ping, some players manage to do incredible ratios in strat battles.

Really Holiday?  Cause all I've been seeing from Squids as of late is 'Woe is me, woe is me.'  Your deck of cards is falling.  I think you may have started to realize it....

The richest NA factions have trade deals with EU factions. EU is way bigger with way more fiefs, which means more S&D available and better distance bonuses. I mean, take a look at the fiefs tab and filter by market size. You have to scroll down before you can even see any NA fiefs. The top EU fief has 4x as much S&D as the top NA fief. We're well-off in NA terms but compared to EU we're struggling economically. It's rough.

On the topic of the war in general:
Yes we're losing ground but from the start we were the only ones with ground to lose. You had one village and we took it. How are we supposed to gain ground from there? Anyway, I don't mean to sound too defensive. You guys are doing well. You're well equipped, well organized, your commanders are good at commanding and your mercs are good at fighting. It's nice having able opponents for once. Steamrolling a faction with weaker players and less money is fun, but competitive battles are fun too. It's a nice change of pace.

Don't attack Astralis or they will use a fake forum name and really be Moonshine and post stuff about how every other clan is shit in Strategus when they have done the least out of anyone in the last two strats.

Actually Murder.  The first character I made on Crpg was named Balikar.  There wasn't anything fake about it.  My alt, Cruxton, didn't come around until I joined Astralis.  Moonshine was the next character made.  History lesson is over though.  :-)

most of NA isn't playing. if UIF invaded NA I think you would be surprised at the strat heroes that would come out of the woodwork to fight the commies. seriously. there has only been one or two of NA's heroes playing lately.

[UnholyRolyPoly]

If raids are your only way of winning battles thats okay, we will do it right back. Also these battles are great to an extent. Unfortunately us squids do not get the NA roster support we need. Let the blood shed and the tentacles choke your women and children.

It's too bad you guys picked Geforce over Black Company lol.

Yeah that's a shame.  RIP

Yeah our spiteful remarks and 2 active mercs will fuk u up m8


Squids suck

[Nebun]

Cant we all just be enemies? This allied here and there to this and that by default or untill the end of time is just making all our lifes harder and more boring.

(you are mercing more for squids though, does that make us more of an enemy?)
 

We didn't follow NA strat and didn't pay attention to the alliances. And we want u to fail there BUT, Matey and Kesh is the same to us as Gigner and Dave on eu And its hard to determine who u want to kill the most. For now we free to sign up for all, but with new info at hand... maybe u will get more mercs or no one will get any.
And we have to stop all trade for NA clans in EU map who in any way connected to FCC directly or through allies.

On a serious note: I agree with most, however by gaining ground I dont mean the fiefs themselfs, controlling territory is what I mean - you couldnt walk anything north of Ulburban without getting attacked by us and you arent sofar from what we have seen.....I am expecting either you or one of your allies (whoever they are) to try and blitz us soon....board is set

Its true that more fiefs on EU and more space between them means more average S&D and more potential trade bonus.
But EU have more fiefs than NA because it was determined that there is more EU players than NA ones.
It could have been true in the past, but today it is exactly the opposite.

There has been so much inactivity, so much quitting and so much leaving to NA, on EU side, that NA side is (relative to the fiefs NA have) largely over populated.


Thanks to that, the ressources NA side are extremely valuable and must be controlled. There is actually way more incentive for wars and subsequent drama, because goods are scarce and gear is much harder to come by. I would say that its a positive thing for everyone, except those who prefer to play trade simulator 2014.

Cherish that situation and do your best to keep your players interested, because EU side is atm very empty of everything, except S&D.

FCC did not join this strat.. Kesh and I decided to mess around and make the superfriends. We did not want to be very involved this time around outside of merc-ing and doing our own thing. If you feel like stomping over to fight us feel free. We are a 6 man faction where I do not think any of us actually play the game right now. So winning could happen but it would not be you beating the FCC only the 6 superfriends! We already showed DRZ what it was like to fight the FCC in strat 2 and they did not care for it.
