HCE should have cancelled the battle against the Berzserks

[Sharpe]

Everybody keeps saying nostalgic stuff like this. Why aren't the battles now just as fun? There is still 20-30 ppl on either side in the battles i've fought so far.

Battles use to be 50v50, and tactics were somewhat successfully used due to a huge number of organized clans.

[Balikar]

Edit: also this is pretty hilarious coming from the person who was demanding land and stuff from the HCE and then the second my army rolls up outside your castle you start begging Bryggan to not attack you(I wasn't going to anyways).

Idiocy knows no bounds.  Bryggan told me the day of the RP, 'don't attack or declare war for at least a few days..'  I obliged.

Saw your army moving out of the Eastern plateau, and asked Bryggan what was up.  He said you were going for Mazigh, and not the castle.  Again, not a big deal.  The ONLY reason I wanted to know was so that I could PREP the castle if you were going to attack, especially since no formal declaration had been made.  Then, you show up at the castle's doorstep.  Things that make you go hmm.  Given your history, I wouldn't put it past you. 

Hence forward, Moonshine is now a member of Bootleggers.  The Bootleggers hereby declare war upon the HCE.  You want that castle?  Go for it.  It's undefended.  Should bring back some nostalgia for ya.  Stark prowess, at it's finest.

Wow. We just witnessed a declaration of war? 'Tis a bold move

I'll give you a battle link so you can see what I mean.

I was at that WoTN siege at Tilbault.  Found the perfect spot for a catapult, and made it safe from ranged.  Then someone drove a siege tower in front of me, and once that was clear I got about 2 shots at the castle before the defenders sallied out and easily destroyed it.  Since then I've dreamed of taking the impregnable Tilbault.

That was tornkik btw, I show up a bit late to my embarrassment, I see someone totally misusing a small siege tower and try to help. Out of no where tornkik comes out of no where and starts nudging me, telling me how she plans to the round the siege tower. One of the weirder battles I've been to this strat, along with the British Ladderless assault on Curaw and the Berserk extreme bugged assault of Kelredan. Good times.

Jesus Christ. I now see why recent battles seem a bit dull to you veterans. Although they still are fun IMO

They still don't compare to past strat battles where you actually had people competing for slots on the roster, where you had to sign up early and be in ts or you'd lose your slot, or you did anyway because a good player signed up and took your place. Those were the good times.

Lol, wow, I'm actually glad its not THAT crowded anymore, since I almost never use teamspeak. 

Although that does sound like it would make for some epic battles.

[njames89]

Yeah that is actually true. There was a point where it was hard for myself and Axeman to get into battles early in our strat careers. I think we will see rosters get back up to 40v40 easily for good strat battles in na this summer. These tournaments are gonna bring in a lot of players new and old for sure!

Darn, summer is the one time of year I can't play warband because I go to CO for 2 months.... and I don't have a portable laptop 

Oh well, hopefully some of those players stick around long enough for me to encounter them next winter

I think the community population has been a lot more constant lately. Who knows we might see consistent 48-50 players each side like eu come end of summer!

You've owned the castle for how long and it has no gear? And you are calling me an idiot?

Probably cause I horded all the gear for astralis. I'm a Greedy Jew.
