play strategus the way it was meant to be played
Let us play Strategus the way it is meant to be.
Didn't know that Strat was meant to be RP PVE game.
I thought that it was meant to be a war game, which means that if you get fucked, you fall back, get better and strike back.
I though it was also meant to be a strategic game, which means that you should use your brains and know the mechanics.
I want to remind you the time when UIF appeared at 1st strategus.
It was Strat 1.
Huge Templar blocked wiped small 22nd faction, betrayed by their powerfull allies (Shogunates and Guards if i'm not mistaken) in the south-east. These allies were just scared to face Templars.
Afterwards 22nd started preparing for the revenge. It was mostly a diplomatic thing: to find proper allies who will not be scared to fight against more powerful enemies/ cooperating.
UIF started as an alliance of fiefless 22nd battalion, GO (owning only 1 fief - Gisim) and DRZ owning some fiefs in the north and constantly fighting against Ninja, COCOs (or smth), Shogunates (supported by Mercs) and ATS.
At that time
major forces of strat were
Templar block (some of their allies were bigger then the whole UIF)
Shogunates and Guards alliance
Mercenaries
UIF started with attacking Templar's allies. It was easy, cause they were not prepared to fight (being a part of a block that scares everyone). Templars kept fighting against neutral AIs (while their allies were being raped). When Templars had to face UIF they failed a lot with rosters, equipment, knowing strategus mechanics etc.
UIF was the REACTION to huge Templars block. The reaction was the
REVENGE. UIF started with 22nd being WIPED OUT within 2 days. Not QQ and RQ which is quite usual for so called antiUIFs.
But it's easy to RQ and blame others for ruining fun. Unfortunately it's impossible to switch to "Easy" mode with reduced damage and stupid AIwhen you play Strat online
