Yeah we do.
But we had the bad luck this timethey obviously sacrificed a virgin to Satan. Whatever, what comes around goes around.
But seriously, this thread makes my eyes bleed. We are gonna get shit for whatever we say or do, so I rarely read it- just skim over some stuff when I'm bored. I also noticed that there aren't that many HCE members posting- nor Wardens or Hounds for that matter.
But I am amazed by how many times us NAers are called stupid. It is usually directed at HCE, but that means all the people we've been fighting are stupid too- we all used the same tactics, and we managed to defeat each other quite often. But, quite frankly, I always thought Euros fought stupidly too, but in a different way. I have fought in several Euro battles (some for Eques), and they all seem to be the same. The two sides group up, facing each other. I was a shielder, so I was put in front. There we stood nicely in formation, so the range can start wrecking the shields. There was a wall on our left, but we weren't supposed to stand behind it, because that would not be cool. Once our shields started shattering, we were given the order to charge. Then we rushed in as a big group, and which ever side TKed the least got the advantage. Then we'd run out of guys and start all over. A few NAers wanted to flank, but that was verboten. When ever some NA two hander jumped the wall and started wrecking the enemy archers he'd get shit. That is breaking the rules; the herd mentality of Europe must prevail.
Of course, NA does the opposite. Four guys group up while the rest try to flank. Of course when everyone is flanking, its not a flank anymore, it's just random death match. I keep thinking how awesome it would be if we mixed the two styles, where most players group up and face each other off, while a few heroes who know what they are doing, like Jona or Anders, try flank or just mess things up. The Squids seemed to manage it quite nicely for awhile, and they devastated on the battlefield. But that only lasted for awhile.
But maybe now we might get some field battles now that Eques seems to have smashed most of their excess men against the walls of Durq, and perhaps we can take a breath and start putting men to the offensive. Then maybe we can learn off each other and develop the most impressive fighting styles ever seen on strat.
