I think all of strat knows Dutchy would never try win dishonourably. When I attacked Sungetche castle back in the day, he asked if we could make it an XP battle. I agreed, even though it cost me a lot of men, gear and loot because I am just that fucking awesome. So he asked around for people to show up, and found out a lot of guys would support him. He could have defended, but gave up the castle anyway because he had promised.
No, Dutchy's douchebaggery lies in the fact he refuses to accept me as overlord. I'm sure we can all agree on that.
As for pre Eu strat, the number of mercs was growing, as were commanders. But we couldn't build armies fast enough to have regular battles, so that kind of sucked. But as for the ganking- us outnumbering Hounds/Warden by ten is not a gank. Look at the kills. Our extra ten guys were just fodder for their polearms. I think a gank is when one team out powers the other one too much, and numbers don't mean anything.
