BULLSHIT! I declared war on all factions that were less than us. To fight only Mithrim would have been ignoble. The Hounds were their allies and friends, so I altered the votes to declare war on them. I down right lied to pass that declaration of war, skipping the whole democratic process.
At the time, it only seemed fair. The HCE was bigger than the rest of the factions combined, so I went to war with all of them. And it worked. We took Rindyar castle, and almost took Slekzh (but some army wandered off). Then they retook Rindyar castle and reinforced Slekzh. While I still held to my dream of subjecting all of Calradia to my gentle rule, in which it would become the trading simulator game we all desire, I still opted for the hard way. With every victory we had, more people would start playing again... against us. It was like fighting the Hydra- for every head we cut off, more would appear. And we were cool with that.
Then Eu came in, and yes- some of us whined. I myself did, in fact. It just seemed totally unfair that guys could come out of nowhere with 30-60K shiny troops. But, in hindsight, we approve. They made soem awesome battles. And there was no shame for us in losing to such overwhelming numbers. And yes, Black Bird kept saying how stupid us NAers were for not being used to 50 vs 50 battles, but we caught on quick. This was all shit we gave up on when it was 21 vs 17 battles.
But that is in the past. Anyone who knows me knows that I attack aggressively. Best defense is a good offense, thinks I.
So feel free to hate me for attacking more than I should. When I attack, I attack populations mostly. Free troops. So, if I have more guys generating troops, that means they are lost to AI generated troops. And, after after wicked battle capturing a castle, it means most pop is dead, and odds are crime will stop us from garrisoning a castle. Which means our enemies will have an easy time recapturing.
SO! IF ANYBODY WHO ACTUALLY PLAYS THIS GAME WISHES TO BITCH ABOUT MY PLAYSTYLE, PLEASE DO SO NOW! I LOOK AT THIS THREAD AND JUST SEE BITCH BITCH BITCH. LET ME KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG. AND FUCK OFF ABOUT ROSTERS! I'VE SAID OVER AND OVER THAT IS BEYOND ANYONE'S CONTROL. I MAY BE BIASED, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT MORE ANTI-HCE HATE POSTS THAN ANTI-ANTI HCE POSTS.
And actually, I'm quite proud of my boys for showing such restraint.
