Strategus is 30% map micromanagement, and 70% forum PR.
Not being horrible, but saying something like 'let the downvote begin' doesn't win over the community and it doesn't inspire your allies or factionmembers. It may be true, and it may be honestly how you're feeling but just bear in mind that NA strat is absolutely a popularity contest and people will roster for the faction they want to support even if playing 'optimally' should mean they automatically sign for the faction that is fighting their enemy.
A 'haters gonna hate' or 'oh you gonna regret signing against us' attitude doesn't gain you support. So if that's what you're aiming for stop right now, take a break from posting, and come back with a new attitude. You wont get support from that style of posting, which means less fun for you in your battles as you'll be facing an uneven roster, which means more bitterness in your posts, and even less support.
Honestly, your forward attack on Halmar was a great idea and executed really well, you took the city very quickly. I was really envious to see you do that because I planned something similar weeks ago but 2 of our large armies were trashed due to inexperienced leadership on my part and a bad attack time from a faction-mate so our 3rd army was unsupported and had to retreat.
If you have someone advising you of tactics/mechanics on the map they're doing a good job. But whoever is your PR guy should be fired, because you need to create an image people want to support. Either a big shittalking nerd like great leaders before you, or some other forum personality of your choosing that you think will appeal to the people of this forum. Not only is doing that more efficient because you'll get more roster support, but you'll actually end up having more fun that way too.
True, but even the attack on Halmar, I had to beg and convince people why they should join me in this attack.
I do not say that the attack of Halmar was mine idea, but it was at the moment a good idea, and I saw the posibility's in it.
Now I received a chance to proof what I am worth it, but I am also reasonble and don't want that the rest of the army's getting rect because of no merc support.
So I hope I impressed some people about what I can do, and hopefully I can do it further, but I really hope that people are just stopping with OW he's Acre guy, we hate him and them mentallity, and just join the war against the Gobblins, or if there is an advantage with 1 of those rosters, that they switch to the other side.
And for the people who sent hatemails toward me about Acre stole lands from Despotate, sorry, thats something what I can not do, but now with the fall of halmar, i'm back on 0
