It works, you my old friends all quit really quickly after getting bored. I've seen it happen every round I've taken part in. It's just too bad that most of the time by the time you've all quit you've already made most of the other players have quit too.
The current 'Anti UIF' philosophy is more like:
'Let's talk big and do exactly what we do every strategus where the end result is that we make the Russian bots get really excited, join in their 100s and carebear up vs everyone else to stop them playing the way they want.'
Same as Kapikulu last round, same as Polanie this round. Shit factions that want to play trade simulator and do fuck-all on the map because if anyone attacks them, big poppa UIF will gank the guy trying to fight a faction of the same time.
You're trash, you've only got numbers on your side and a fucked-up mentality. I'll enjoy watching EU Strat 6 finally start in a couple of months after you my old friends have all quit again.
Anti uif had numbers this time, they just failed a bit with organisation/trade/cooperation, at list they fight. And u coward shit just run off to NA.
And not every strat was like that. In first strat we was fighting almost from day1 against way bigger alliances and blocks, and there was no fear, morale issues or QQ on our side.
+ AntiUif thought they could win, especially at start, some i spoke to recognised issues and mistakes.
+ We didn't think we going to win, after we counted how much ppl in enemy factions, how much troops they got from their keys etc. We even had plan B to get in some castle and sit there defending till the last tickets
+ Anti Uif used spies and disinformation, poorly but used. Its new level for them
