Terrortops demands it

[BaleOhay]

The Horde has returned. The Terrortops is leading the way. Follow it my brothers into the breach!! This Castle shall be ours! The Terrortops demands it.

We shall either put them to the sword or convert them to the cause.

Who is with us?

BaleOhay

We have brought all our spoils of war to this fight. Our armor and weapons are glorious. You will not be disappointed.

4k tickets?

Way to waste XP. I thought you guys cared about XP...

[Holiday203]

Is it 1/3 or 1/4 rule?

[Lt_Anders]

Is it 1/3 or 1/4 rule?

It's 1/3 up to 1800. For strat vets, that's a super big waste of XP.

Lol, no it really isnt.  I'll explain after battle, but its max xp battle - over a million at least.  Will be great fight.  And joe will finally get reunited with his +3 courser.

Why do you think anyone would slowly whittle down 9K troops in rindyar castle, because they went lame and just stockpiled troops like they do in EU? Of course not, so you wouldn't get the xp anyway.  This way these troops can actually be used for xp.

Also, attacking with 4K troops a castle instead of repeatedly raiding like gay euros is called having fucking balls.

Those extra 3000 tickets earn them one hell of a time bonus to capture flags is what you need to realize. For each troop you add up until a max at about 9000 troops you earn additional time in the battle, with diminishing returns of course. I forget what the max time is.

I thought max was right about 2 ish hours, where as a 1400 man army gets 90 minutes.(1.5 hours)

I'm not stupid, but I know you can't USE 2k tickets, at all even with that "massive time advantage".

For example. That battle was 1.5 hours at 2k tickets. You except to get MORE than 2.5 hours, honestly? On the hardest castle in NA?

Byz attacked malaysrg last strat with 3+ hours and burned almost 3k even though they got capped early.

[BaleOhay]

come use your catapult skills for us anders and you shall know glory under the power of the Terrortops!


instead of boo hooing, give us some credit for daring to dream big... when have you ever seen us do something without a well thought out plan behind it?

if we fail oh well these things happen but have to big reward takes brass balls

[Legs]

The thing you guys aren't realizing is that they can GAIN troops with a flag cap. Even if 2000 troops die on each side, with captured troops they more than double what they started with.

It's ~strategy~

[Keshian]

One thing I can guarantee - we will not run out of siege equipment. 

Also, this is going to be a lot of fun.  We even picked up a bunch of loomed weapons that people were requesting.  Anders, you have to understand we don't care about losing (i think we stand pretty good chance of winning), we just want to have fun and this is going to be fucking epic.  Best battle all strat.


Also, you forget we are Random AI Barbarian Horde - we come in swarms of overwhelming numbers - its just what we do. ;)

I mean, I gotta level with you here Anders, you're pretty much wrong on everything you said in this post.

The max is more than 2 hours, like I said it maxes with about 9000 troops. It's somewhere on the forums but I can't remember where to find it, a dev wrote it.

Additionally last Strategus the GOBBLINS attacking New Almerra Castle managed to kill about 2200 enemy troops in one attack. I can't remember what amount of troops we attacked with, but I don't recall it being stupid big or anything.

Also I don't think Rindyar is as hard to take as you think it is. It's pretty fantastic, but not necessarily the best place.

DEATH TO EU!

[Noodlenrice]

At least they aren't using pussy EU tactics and raiding fiefs

[GRANDMOM]

Max time you get is 3 hours of battletime, attacking with 4k gives you about 2 hours I think (cant be arsed to check the graph). It takes 9,3k troops if I remember correctly to get the 3 hour battletime. In a 3 hours siege you can burn somewhere between 3,5 and 4k troops. its been done several times on the EU side.

They are aiming for a flagcap, get the possible remaining 6-7k troops and continue to use them against squid enemies. Problems are bros has EU gear for all troops, attackers spawntime will be humongus after half the battle(you will be looking at spawntimes up to over a minute) and the castle is great for defending.

Sure they say its an EU thing, dont like the troopstacking EU:s - howcome Sharwa castle and its 14k troops hasnt been attacked then? Hint, it wont even though they are EU since they are not fighting the squids.
