Lol

45 signed up, 20 showed. Don't whine if the mercs don't show. AI is notorius for that. You can complain as a faction, cause you are choosing and actively can make sure they show up.

Also, do I get honorable mention for the "Eye in the Sky" I was doing!?

except that is how it is every battle. city defenses can accept up to 100 players for exactly that reason. no one is at all surprised that that ratio of people showed up to people not showing up for AI.

I really don't get how there's anything lame about a raid. It's the logical thing to do.

Only if you don't have anny other option left.
Makes you really desporate to get that city.

I genuinely hope that the relatively costless cities taken tonight result in more aggressive action by those factions against someone.

I'd greatly prefer that the "battles" against AI be, you know, ACTUAL battles. I'm only confident that would happen against Khorne, GAWBBLINS, or BIRD. Going by history, that's how it has shaken out, anyway. I don't think that is amendable at this point. Despotate, I reckon you should go grab Uxhal in the next day or two; you don't really need great gear now that we see how the AI roster situation has stabilized to.

The unfortunate thing for us is that our mercenary output has mostly been generated from EXTREME SPERG RECRUITING in the last hour or two for the battle. Many of our mercenaries won't sign up for a battle in advance; they just seem adverse to looking at the strat battles page while they're taking the morning dump or something. In situations in which we have a vested interest in playing for AI, we suffer greatly because of that.

I clearly have a vested interest in at least one of the abortion-tier battles being populated on the defender's side, and believe or disbelieve freely, but I think it is some really shitty business that some folks get free AI fiefs due to combined lack of population and poor AI signing/accepting mechanics. Not because they've gotten free shit specifically; that may be a small benefit in my mind. After all, if someone's got an ass-ton of gear they can be shitty traders and still form an attack or two. It makes me upset because there are 2000 moderately-equipped tickets awaiting the slaughter, fun, and XP. Instead we get 10-20 frustrated nerds getting shitted on no matter the circumstances or skill and having no fun at all.

Anyway, the solution is that one thing I put in suggestions where we somehow hijack/force the entire NA1 population to spread out amongst the 2 sides in strat battles up to 51v51. Fuck social engineering and fuck groveling, let's make the jackasses that play NA1 during battles at 12v12 max with 1/4 of them being rock throwers or chinamen leechers fix the problem.

Only if you don't have anny other option left.
Makes you really desporate to get that city.

Of course we have myriad options available to us! We are aware that you had no reinforcing armies in the near area, and we are intimately aware of the large amount of dank gear that is available to us upon victory. A bunch of dank gear is worth a city anyday when you've already got large swathes of land.

If you'd like to keep the city with simply naked population sitting in there, you can be my guest.

Slight correction - we still have set the record for most ai defenders signed against us at 64 with a record 54 showing up.

Sums up the feeling of the defenders who came. I feel bad that I had to bug many people to sign up for a battle only to get anhilated because of lack of mercs. I even persuaded some LL guys to come :/

Was that this strat? I don't even disbelieve you or anything, but it'd make more sense if it was a strat past. I'm fucking frazzled lately and can barely even recall the events of the early current strat.

And I was probably 1/3 of the people recruiting against you for that battle if it was this strat lmao

Don't worry, if retro-active disappointment is something that you desperately crave, go out all night on Sunday and you can come back home with exclamations of GODDAMNIT for missing our 5-6 fights.

Well its still pretty laim to do that, but I have discovered that we have a spy.
His intentions where clear, to destroy the crusade, and he almost succeeded in it.
All that info you have now about me, is because of that spy.
What I saw in strat. made me suspicious and was acknowledge by some people.
But at least you know why I have taken Halmar. Just what Anders said, and it ruined or stalled the Gobblinleader his plans.
But the worst thing I find is, brag about your endless armies and your many victories, but after conquering Halmar, you attacked the city directly, and instead of a siege, you would rather prefer a raid.
But I've already said what I think about this


But the irony is that you actually want to take the city without decent opposition, something you have me accused of it. Thats why you wanna raid it.

But at least now I know how my opponent thinks and reacts. You use clever tactics to deceive the enemy, you inspire fear against the members of the Anti-Gobblinfactions, and you're not afraid to use dirty tactics.
All what a great military strategist would do. But in the meantime I have also been encountered with your weakness.

Thank you for confirming mine suspicion.
Your spy is now exposed, and if that person had any honor, he would just leave the respective faction and join with the Gobblins. Annyway I will talk with the factionleader about this accusacion.

You know, If you wanted to raid, you should have done it with MORE tickets than that...

Bruttus, I recommend you watch the fief as you can see a raid before your final reinforcement window shows. You should be able to win tonight, don't worry.

Also, spies? Really?
WTF is this shit, strat 2. Da fuck, you autismal nerds. At least the gobs show they aren't in it for "fun," but to be a UIF win!

I am the spy, I admit it. As I am the one who told them there was no other armies in the area. Seriously Anders, as Dan would say "STFU ANDERS"! you really believe that garbage. Don't need a spy to see that. More troops would be great but I don't have them, and I wanted to attack anyway. Considering the troop count, and the expected merc resistance, a raid seemed like a better idea.

You are calling a raid dirty tactics now. seriously?
