YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!!! YOU TRY BE NICE AND GET THINGS GOING, BUT SOME AMBITIOUS FUCK(S) WILL SCREW YOU OVER!!!
That being said, I appreciate you wasting men and material to amuse the masses. Nice try, sez I. But seriously. Imagine if you used them thar troops for serious battles... against enemies you do not hate. As in there was a point to the fighting. Not to win, but to try winning. I think at this time people are more interested in fighting good battles than they are in winning battles. But you take away the suspense of winning or losing, you take away a lot of the fun.
But I believe the average mindset of the average player is to try win, or die gloriously. XP battles are like NA1, but where nobody cares. There is no multiplyer, no gold, and the xp is the same whether you fight like a bastard or just trollololol.
So, I invite you to attack active clans in their active fiefs. The Wardens and I did it, and it was awesome. We never attacked non-Afk villages, and most of the time it was field battles. Which were awesome!! Except for the odd gank or two, the C-Rpg community kept the battles great. And I tell you, it felt damn good to fight an enemy that wanted to win, and to fight them like the fuckin bastards we are, and to be finally pushed into a falg cap. It was great. First time in strat history that the losers TS was chock full of hype, enthusiasm and grand recounting of the awesome bits. Long gone were the bitching, blaming, and immediate disconnecting after a battle.
It was awesome.
So, my advice- become enemies with your friends and friends with your enemies, talk to them, let them know (a little bit) what you are doing, don't attack their villages until you take out the castle/town (unless they are AFK fiefs). At this point in time rosters tend to balance, cuz noone cares about strat or who owns what. Everyone just wants good battles- win or lose*.
*I noticed whenever we got ganked by the Wardens, the next battle we would gank them. And then, the battle after that, it would be even. Which makes me think most of the C-Rpg strat playing people seek balance.
