I don't understand though, over the past few battles the rosters have been pretty clearly stacked in favour of EU. I personally always sign for the underdog to get more even fights and to have a challenge, but honestly the way it looks now, fighting the battles is a pretty moot point. Do people really enjoy roflstomping a team with 5-20 players less so much? Surely there are some NA/EU freelancers that could just as well sign up for HCE, so we would have actual battles. Anyway, I'm going on vacation, but it just sucks if a promising Strategus shake-up gets decided solely by uneven roster support.
I'm enjoying the most incredible thing I ever saw : grey order, kalmar, eques, and other europeans putting themselves together and attacking america. Hell, even a shitton of gold for every battle isn't worth the kurwa macs allied with the fittas and the scheisses on one ts
10/10 strat, 5 pages of drama everyday, a shitload of XP, THAT'S THE STRAT I MISSED.
