You can never truly die on strategus, Knight Bruttus.
Keep on keeping on, and you will find mercs loyal to you following your banners to battle, dont quit.

I never imagined it'd be so hard for other people to find decent fighters that considered us a bunch of assholes a few weeks ago.

Surely there are still PLENTY of folks that think we're assholes and would like nothing more than to humiliate us on the sacred grounds of NA_3.

Find them!

OR you could do what we have been doing and persuading people that haven't played in 1yr+ to come back. Mod's so dead we gotta raid the graves.

If there was some way to predict rosters... but there isn't.  Sometimes you kick ass, sometimes your ass gets kicked, sometimes you get equal rosters and a damn good fight.  It's a risk, and anyone who loses a nice army due to low rosters needs at least 3-4 days to get over the rage.

But it usually balances out.  There will be more battles, and maybe next time Gobblins will get bad rosters and they'll bitch for a few days, then we'll get bad rosters and we'll bitch... its all standard strat stuff.

Don't mind the negativity Commander Bruttus. You are doing a good job. The move to take Halmar was a bold one and it nearly payed off.

Thanks James :)

I wonder where he got the idea from.
I guess I haven't made enough of an impression this strat.  Feel like the fat girl at the homecoming dance.  No one wants to dance! I'm also a raging friend

I like this "to the point", non-rp, non-drunk Bryggan.  He should hang out more often.

First of all, is that I apologize,
I was simply demoralized when I saw the roster, and I just went way back to my bed. Didn't care anymore to put up a defence. I wanted a last stand before I lost city, and I noticed that actually a few where willing to fight, for the reasons that I could understand why they stand by me.

Now I will admit that I let made myself the mistake to let everyone think that I have no gear, while I actually have expressed some people that they do not really have to worry.
I forget that no one here has a military background, and that's what I try to do, try to have the fighting attractive, just like playing chess. Piece by Piece.
And the less the enemy knows what I do or have, the better.

For each move, there is thought about it. But I do not really explain the reasons why I move those pieces.
I  really did not wanted to tell everyone why I attack an AI fief, but felt obliged to post it on the forums for whatever reason I wanted Halmar, to get merc's.
But some names I read, it did hurt, like busines as usual 4Acre.
So I guess that those people do not want to know mine reasons, or they do not want to give me the chance to let me proof.
During the fighting, if I have enough merc, I shut up in TS, and let someone lead, Simply because I do not have much authority such as Kesh or Knightmare, for excample.
But mine movements  and orders have been given to the people who need to know what they have to do.

The reason why I troll, is in fact very simple. I have meanwhile experienced how lame some sieges are, especially AI fiefs. so I provoke a bit, because I really hate it to have no opposition.
I just want to get everybody understands that we fights side by side.
I also know that some factions are satisfied with what I do, and what course I sail, but in my opinion, the factionmembers do not want to know it, and see Acre still in a bad daylight.
What else should I do, I have taken a city with some reasonable opositie in the middle of gobblin teritory. Or do they prefer that the army's that we have are destroyed, just knowing that you actually need them?

Yeah, 2 bad that this person promised allot of things, therefor mine reinforcements came to late, because I believed the person what he said.

I learn everyday a bit.

Hey man, we understand why you went for Halmar. Of course it was an intelligent strategic decision assuming proper execution; given generally low amounts of AI-signups it was reasonable to believe you could nab it and hold it. You just didn't have the coordination between individuals to pull it off. Nobody is calling the overall plan stupid, you know. In fact, I don't think ANYONE is really talking or judging about the strategic/tactical implications of your decisions on the map. Hell, neither side has had much in the way of decisions yet, anyway. Shit's just starting to pop off.

You'd be surprised how many people DO have a military background that play this game. It's just that those folks don't generally bring it up or alter their personas accordingly. I mean shit, if you see a certain one of our armies kinda chilling out and patrolling without clear objective, it's because the motherfucker just got deployed to Kuwait.

It really sucks that you're trying to fight us and are at a merc deficit. I understand exactly how that is from strat 4. Watching your mercenaries slowly dwindle and sometimes switch sides wholesale because their greatest loyalty lies with the side that is more likely to win.

I don't know what your teamspeak environment is like; I don't know who is leading and if there are any elements in there causing people to drop out or switch sides. We've had a couple people recently that say they are extraordinarily surprised that we aren't a bunch of 16 year old highschool memekids with nasally voices and awful humour. They'd be told that we are exactly that, so maybe there are people running around saying that you're a bunch of highschool memekids or something.

For my part, I can only promise that I won't painstakingly recruit for hours before the battle if our roster isn't down by 7-10+ applications. I deeply desire even rosters (in terms of numbers), so I won't be touching butts with 20 people on steam at once to come play in battles if we're already fine on mercs.

Which deeply offends me, I graduated from memeschool last Spring.
Maybe you are not bad, but you are a boring person. Well, that's the end of the matter.

To be fair I hang out in that teamspeak and I stopped maturing mentally at the age of 7.

i usually enjoy battles most when ts environment is pleasing.  may I suggest opening a cup of space jam,  bruttus?
Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

People simply didn't show for you because you didn't broadcast that it could have been a winning battle and that you had gear. You need to exhibit supreme enthusiasm when you know you can win... people don't like signing up if they expect they're just going to lose. These last two pages were unnecessary.

By the way I don't think attacking Halmar was a smart plan actually. It just gives us a very close place to bleed your armies down, because the city is actually very shitty to defend.

if you don't want us to sperg out stop signing up like 20 people in the first hour that never show up lol, it triggers our autism and gives us flashbacks of old FCC fighting, we can't help signing up as many people as we can after that

This is definitely how it all got started.  We were low on mercs twice and my strat 4 PTSD triggered, and I'm definitely not alone on that.  Every battle since then has had the enemy up on mercs right up until the battle, and that's not because we're keeping people unchecked until the last minute.  We have at least three people actively digging the graves of old cRPG players trying to get them to come play again, and the majority of them don't actually sign up until the last 30 minutes.

I'm not particularly happy to see you guys (ND, Acre, HoC to a lesser extent) getting dicked so hard on rosters though, I understand how demoralizing that can be and I'll personally try to cool it on the mass recruiting for now.
